Google's wired Nest security camera has dropped to its lowest price to date.
The second-gen device is for indoor use and it's motion sensitive. It's
capable of capturing 1080p HDR video. You can snap one up for $70, which is
$30 or 30 percent off the regular price of $100, at Amazon if you opt for the
fog or linen colorway. However, if you go for the snow variant you can save a
little more. That one is on sale for $67.59, or 32 percent off.

The Nest Cam uses AI to discern between people, animals and vehicles. It can
send you alerts via the Google Home app, and you won't need a subscription
for that. You will need a Nest Aware plan if you want up to 60 days of video
history. Otherwise, Google will offer three free hours of event video
history. Handily, if you have a Wi-Fi outage, up to an hour of event
recordings will be stored on the device itself.

There's a two-way audio function, so you can chat with house guests if you're
not home. In the event of an unwanted visitor, you can contact emergency
services directly from the Google Home app if you're a Nest Aware member who
is perhaps using a tablet instead of a phone. You'll be able to view live
video feeds on compatible smart displays and smart TVs too.

Nest Aware subscribers can receive notifications when familiar faces are
recognized. There's also the option to set up home and away routines so the
camera doesn't capture video while you're at your place.

Elsewhere, the Outdoor Nest Cam with Floodlight is on sale too. It has
dropped by 29 percent to $200. That's just $10 more than the lowest price
we've seen for it to date.
