If you already have a smart home ecosystem in place, or are looking to build
one from scratch, nowΓÇÖs a good time to look for IoT gear on sale during the
Black Friday shopping period. One such device is the Google Nest wired indoor
security camera, which you can get for $70 right now. ThatΓÇÖs 30 percent off
its usual price and close to a record low. The sale includes three colorways,
including snow, fog and linen.

The second-gen wired device is designed for indoor use, thus the name, and is
capable of capturing 1080p HDR video. ItΓÇÖs motion sensitive and uses a bit
of AI trickery to discern between people, animals and vehicles. The camera
also includes night vision and an hour of event recording on the device
itself, which comes in handy in the case of a Wi-Fi outage.

ThereΓÇÖs a two-way audio function, as the camera includes both a microphone
and a speaker. People can boot up the affiliated Google Home app to spark up
a conversation. This app also lets you instantly call up emergency services
if the conversation doesnΓÇÖt go as planned, though that requires a Nest
Aware subscription.

This brings us to a fairly significant caveat, though this one pops up with
most modern security cameras. A whole lot of stuff is locked behind that
aforementioned Nest Aware paywall, which costs $8 per month or $80 each year.
This plan gives purchasers 60 days of video history and the ability to watch
live streams on smart displays and even smart TVs. Subscribers will even
receive alerts when familiar faces are recognized by the camera.
