So my fiancé and I have been talking about getting cameras for the house for a long time. Not because we live in a bad area at all, just for the sake of mind to be able to watch things and our golden retriever.

I’ve done a lot of research into different brands arlo, nest, Amazon, etc. I was seconds away from pulling the trigger on arlo cameras due to a Costco sale, but ultimately walked away.

Then last weekend during a Home Depot trip I ventured over to the nest thermostat. I finally decided to pull the trigger on that because we have a basic builder grade thermostat and I KNEW I was throwing money away. I set it up during Sunday football and have been playing with it for the last week; bottom line I absolutely love the ease of use and functionality. I also truly believe it will save me 20-30 bucks a month.

I then started doing more research into the google nest cameras since I loved the thermostat. Initially I was turned away seeing the price was double that of arlo. Then after some research, I learned the quality blew them out of the water, and the support of google software made me feel much more comfortable.

Finally decided to bite the bullet and picked up two indoor IQ cameras for our main great room which has a clear shot at our front door and hallway to the garage, nest doorbell and nest hub for the kitchen.

I really need to give it to Google on these products. I was able to set up essentially a professional surveillance system around my house in 2 hours, and the quality is RIDICULOUS.

For anyone on the fence of cameras...get the nest. Everything links so easily together and can be operated through your phone and through little hubs you put around the house. And all in for about $1,000 you can’t go wrong!
