Thanks for the review. I have several indoor Reolink E1 cams, the pro and zoom versions. Good cams for the price and no subscription fees to fully function unless one wants more cloud storage. Reolink is releasing it's first doorbell cam in a few months.

Nest was clearly the best of all of them in every category!

I like the Arlo camera

Whoever asked that question I would just go with a ring stick up cam! Easy battery change out and have them in multiple rooms etc. it has its own stand that can be made into a mount. The 1080p is decent in this day in age. Audio and video is fine. I don’t think the other cameras are any different in terms of sound and mic. I talk to my family members on the ring cams when I go to the store and it’s fine. Ring will soon come out with an indoor drone camera!!! That’s gonna be even better. Some day it will come out lol. One thing is that animals don’t seem to react to the audio on these cameras. Doesn’t scare them etc. I have tried to scare off dogs in the alley and they just look up when I’m talking on the camera. Perhaps the drone might work if they come out with an outdoor drone camera. But I would probably use the upcoming ring drone outside anyway regardless if they say it’s indoor only. I liked the nest cameras recording 24/7 but their battery cameras are internal batteries. You have to charge the whole camera. Take it off etc. too much trouble and what’s gonna happen if the battery goes completely dead? Have to buy a new camera? Ring stick up cam is probably the best option out there.

These are definitely some great options! However, there really are a ton of different cameras at and around this price point they can do some pretty incredible things and don’t actually require a subscription. Aqara has a pretty incredible pan and tilt to Kaye camera that’s also a security alarm and Zigbee Hub with gesture control and facial recognition. It’s bonkers!

But what about their night vision?

I have Reolink and Eufy Indoor cameras, and prefer the Eufy. With the auto tracking and privacy mode, they are nice, plus, I have them mounted on the ceiling making them hard to get to.

Thought the 10/25 feet test Arlo sounded too soft n Nest sounded the best of the three. Informative n interesting upload. Kudos for vid. It will help me decide which inside cameras to install. Anticipating ur next one. Peace

Ok, now would you please review outdoor cameras, like Eufy etc. Thank you.

What would be some of the BEST and "physically small" indoor non-battery-operated security cameras ? Thanks

Thanks for this review, it change my mind about which camera to get.

maybe better on headphones, but I found the Nest sounded far batter watching this video on both my laptop and television. Arlo may be clearer, but far quieter. Sticking with nest here. Review settles that. Thanks!

Can you recommend a wired Nest cam that does not require monthly fee and has micro SD slot and no home base needed ? Thanks

Best seemed the best in both audio and video to me, it was a bit darker during the day, but great. Arlo I almost felt my $20 Wyze can is better.

We had Arlo for a couple years, great system for sure. Looking in the market currently, I found Eufy. I have replaced the doorbell(no interface with the house doorbell) and front of the house/driveway camera. Great video and quick connection. My indoor choice, Eufy 2k HD WiFi PTZ camera. $50 on sale. Couldn’t be happier, PTZ and great audio, crisp video. Sold

It looks like Nest for the daytime shot was creating more focus on the window and darkening inside. The other ones seemed to be allowing the washing out on the window so it seems to be preference but if someone came up to your window you would get a clearer picture with nest and ok inside.

I have to agree on the nest camera. However Steve I have a question. I love the ring App where you scroll through the even recording compared to the individual clips on the other apps. Is there any other indoor camera out there that offers that kind of app with the scrolling? My son has seizures and it is easier to see if he had any. Hope to hear from you. Oh and thank you for all your videos

The 1st gen Nest camera does exactly what you asked

I was totally an Apple eco system person. But also used Google on my iOS devices. Main phone is a Pixel 7 Pro. What I like about Nest - they work just as well on iOS under Google Home app, as they do on Android devices. The same can't be said for Homekit secure cameras/devices.

I'm looking for a good camera for just night vision and allows me to see recordings any suggestions

Thank you for this video. It is very helpful. Thank you for all your hard work.

Iam looking for an indoor camera that is good to look through a window and has 2k or 4k recording and have colour night vision any suggestions please its a bit of a mine field

This is an absolutely fantastic review!

Great. Thanks

Thank you for this video, really helpful

Thanks for the comment

One thing that bugs me about the Nest Camera is that it uses your phone's call volume and not media volume and there is no mute button. It can stream great to my Google Nest Hub but it is not compatible with the Lenovo Smart Clock 2 (eufy works on it, but all streams outside the app are limited to 5 minute duration).

Arlo sound from 25 feet away is unintelligible. Incredibly useful information since I want to set up a system to communicate with an elderly parent who may fall and we need to talk with them. For my application, Nest is hands-down the winner. Thank you *so* much for showing these side-by-side comparisons. Shocked that the Ring sound sucked so much. Have they improved it any over the past year?

No Eufy Solo IndoorCam C24?

I thought Ring had the better video with time stamp. The Nest had better audio. The Arlo audio sounded very low and the Arlo video was more blurry.

ring for sure

Nest seems the best overall to me. Great test btw. Thank you.

What is the best outdoor

What about Cove indoor?

NEST hands down

Nest winer👍🏻

No timestamps on Arlo or Nest!?! _WHAT!_

None of those are great options in my opinion. Expensive cameras that only record in 1080p and with a subscription plan on top of that. I switched my Arlos for Reolink E1 zoom and Reolink outdoor cameras last year and I’ve never regret it for a second. Not as plug and play as Arlo but so much better when you’ve have it up and running.

The comment on date and timestamp are a deal breaker for the other brands. Doesn't matter what you see if it can't be used to protect yourself. Ring it is!

Ring does do 24/7 recording

So wait, we have stevewilldoit and stevewilldoit AGAIN, is this guy the final boss?

why no Eufy??? Eufy Indoor Cam 2k.

Hard to beat Wyze v3 at $20.

Really like the Nest indoor camera! I’d like to start adding cameras and smart home accessories but also looking at Vivint? Could you do a video of best smart home “starter pack” things to incorporate? Ex: doorbell, lock, indoor/outdoor cameras, security? Like where to start if you have nothing! Lol

Yes! I just started gathering ideas for a video like this. :)

Nest!! I dropped ring like a bag of rocks no good at all.

But it looks like Ring had the better mic 🎙, did you get it wrong?

I dont want subscription cameras! Any that you dont pay?

I’m curious why they put worse hardware into indoor when many outdoor cameras can outperform so much Just for the sake of form factor

Sorry but eufy is not here and definitely rules with the prices and the futures that has !!!

ring audio is just a joke 😂

A security camera that cant display date, time and secs onscreen.... what are those companies thinking... /majorfail

My Wyze has it. 🕐🗓️

These are all awful, I hate how the bitrate is only 2-3mbps maximum with no possible way of increasing it. If someone actually breaks into your house you'd have no idea who they are since the awful bitrate will make their faces blocky.

That sux
