Home security cameras have come a long way in the past few years, and the Nest Cam is no exception. It's consistently ranked as a top performer, and the fact that it's so easy to use makes it a popular choice for anyone looking for some added peace of mind.

With the Nest Cam Indoor, you can check in on your home at any time from anywhere. The Nest app, which works with most smartphones and tablets, shows a crisp 1080p HD picture day or night, and thanks to 24/7 live streaming, you can always see what's happening at home.

A Nest Aware subscription, gives you access to saved 24/7 footage, just in case. Using this feature, you can speed through days of video in seconds to quickly find key moments. You can also get person alerts on your phone which let you know if the Nest Cam detects movement or sound.

The Nest Cam features two-way audio, so you can tell your kids to start their homework — and hear their reasoning for why they need five more minutes of TV time. You can tell the dog to get off the couch, or ask your spouse to get a start on dinner. No matter how you use the Nest Cam, it's just a great way to keep tabs on your home and family whether you're near or far.

One commenter said the Nest Cam has been a huge help for her communicating with her elderly mother who lives 1,200 miles away. As she explained, "We just use it as a live camera so I can check in with her & help her follow through on her chores. The picture quality is excellent. There is even sound so you can have a full conversation over the Nest Cam. You can talk and be heard and listen to what the person at the other end of the camera is saying."
