The Nest Cam IQ’s nifty facial recognition feature is fantastic. It knows if people in your home are familiar or not and it can respond accordingly. It’s great indeed, but is it really worth $300? Definitely not, considering you can get the same kind of features from the Tend Insights Lynx Indoor 2 Indoor WiFi Security Camera at a small fraction of the price. In fact, since it’s on sale right now on Amazon for just $50, you can get six Lynx 2 cameras for the price of a single Nest Cam IQ!
