配置迷你Wi-Fi IP相機進行雲端錄製       Nest Cam 與其他 IP 相機的比較

The Nest Cam (previously Drop Cam) is a kind of Mini Wi-Fi IP Camera designed for indoor use only. It has a great design and solid build quality. However, it is a completely proprietary device that does NOT work with any other cloud storage (surveillance) services or any other PC-based IP camera management software.

Most other Mini IP cameras or regular IP cameras support open standards such as ONVIF, RTSP and FTP so that you can use any professional camera management software or cloud recording services.

Nest Cam 的缺點

• 昂貴的硬體－一次性成本
• 昂貴的雲端服務－經常性成本
1. Granted, it is optional, but cloud recording is too important to not have. It only works with Nest's own service with only two retention plans (10-day retention or 30-day retention).
• 不支援本地視訊串流
1. 您的相機必須始終連接到網路才能正常運作！
• 不支援 SD 卡或任何其他本地存儲
• 完全專有
1. It is incompatible with any other cloud recording service or IP camera management software; does not support IP camera standard protocols such as ONVIF, FTP or RTSP.
• 僅限 Wi-Fi
1. With 1080P video streaming, Wi-Fi connection may not be reliable and the video quality may degrade.
• 僅限室內使用，不支援 PoE 供電。
• 高頻寬使用率

Nest Cam (Drop Cam) cameras offer great video quality at the expense of high bandwidth usage. If you have multiple Nest Cam cameras, you are likely to run into a few problems:

• 您的Wi-Fi連線將變得不太穩定；
• 您的網路連線可能已達到最大上傳頻寬；
• Your might reach your ISP's max monthly data usage limit. Many users probably don't know their ISPs limit their max monthly data usage, e.g. AT&T's ADSL may limit the monthly data usage to be only 150GB, Comcast may limit your monthly data usage to be only 250GB.
