[QUOTE="MacDefender, post: 912467, member: 83059"] I use Nest on my exterior. The 24/7 cloud based recording uses about 0.5-1.5mbps per camera of upload, which is acceptable. Camera and package theft alike is common in my area so I like that the footage is not lost if the camera is stolen. Plus, even if the local network goes out, I can still see the camera feed up to that point from the cloud. I don't consider the outside of my house to be private so I don't care what Google does with that footage. PROTIP: The Nest Doorbell cameras and Nest IQ cameras both have much better image quality as well as AI abilities that filter out false motion alerts, identifies people / packages, etc. The doorbell is a lot cheaper and sleeker compared to the Nest IQ Outdoor, so I've also been mounting Doorbells around the house as cameras, using an AC transformer to power them. That's worth considering if the price of the Outdoor IQ camera is too high, as honestly the non-IQ outdoor camera's quality is relatively poor, especially at night. [/QUOTE]
