There’s a new $50 home security camera with the $300 Nest Cam IQ’s best feature

When the Nest Cam IQ was first introduced, Nest justified the sky-high $300 price tag using the camera’s cool AI features. Thanks to advanced facial recognition capabilities, the Nest Cam IQ can identify people who belong in your home and differentiate them from strangers. There’s only one problem: the YI Home Camera 3 can do the same thing now, and it’s only $50 on Amazon as opposed to $300. that means you can literally buy six YI Home Camera 3 cams for the price of a single Nest Cam IQ!
