I really regret buying into the Nest Cam ecosystem. I have 3 now. Sure, it's convenient to view things remotely, but I also run a NAS and I hate not having the option to record locally or serve the camera streams myself instead of relying on Nest's service or paying an outrageous price for recording.

The only reason I went with them in the first place is that they have a very good picture and viewing range.

I've deployed them for my uncle at some of his rental properties in less desirable parts of town for the security of his tenants.
