The Nest app also lets you view videos and control other Nest products, and this model works with more smart home devices than other security cameras, including the August Smart Lock, IFTTT, Philips Hue and Scout Alarm. Nest Cam's audio records well enough for most people, but it wasn't as clear as the Foscam C2 and the Flir FX. Also be aware that you can’t schedule when the camera records. Nest Cam Indoor doesn't require a paid subscription to view live video, get sound alerts and motion alerts. However, you need to pay for Nest Aware subscription to record video, download clips and create time lapse videos. The Nest Cam Indoor's two year warranty is the best in our review.

The price makes it an excellent value, especially considering it earned the highest nighttime video score in our tests with excellent range and clarity in total darkness. In daytime testing, the NetCam had average video quality in bright and low light situations, and while its 720p video resolution doesn't hold up to the 1080p cameras in our review, it’s sufficient for most people. Unfortunately, the Belkin NetCam HD+ had the lowest audio quality in our tests; it was unintelligible.

Known as the First Alert SCO5CN Smoke Detector, this is a battery operated model designed to act as both a smoke detector and a carbon monoxide detector alarm system. Since its operations are done via the use of cells, users are assured of the continuous monitoring of CO levels in their homes, even in the event of a power outage. Upon detection of any potential hazard, this device makes use of an 85 decibel siren sound, loud enough to be heard from far distances. There are also indicator lights located on the face of the unit display, and these are responsible for the visual alerting of all users during an emergency. The SCO5CN smoke detector features a photoelectric sensor and an electrochemical Carbon Monoxide sensing technology that work together to help the device effortlessly detect the larger particles often found in a smoldering fire. Its use of batteries means that installation and set up takes a shorter time and doesn’t demand any extra skill or knowledge. You can change your battery quickly when it runs down via the EZ access battery drawer included in the design of this unit. This feature prevents you from obliterating your alarm from the ceiling, and also makes the replacement process simpler. Just like other First Alert products, this smoke detector has been engineered to surpass all the set UL standards concerning the design of smoke detectors. The SCO5CN smoke detector and carbon monoxide detector is one of a kind in our current market. It can undertake both functions thanks to the dual sensors it possesses, and this keeps each function independent and separate to avoid confusion.
