Google Nest Cam Outdoor in white
Google/CNET
$130 at Amazon

The battery-powered Google Nest Cam lists for $180, but right now it's down to $130 -- just $20 more than its all-time low on Amazon, which only happened during Black Friday sales in 2024. That makes it one of the better prices we've seen on this model, especially if you've been waiting for a solid dip before buying.

The Google Nest Cam is among the top security cameras on the market right now, thanks to its advanced AI capabilities. With the ability to differentiate between people, animals and vehicles, Google's outdoor cameras "make it easy to cut down on all false alerts and get only the updates you want," according to our expert review.

This model is also weather-resistant, so you can use it outdoors as well as indoors, and battery-powered, which makes it easy to install practically anywhere. This camera also boasts 1080p video resolution with night vision, and you can check in anytime with a 24/7 live feed. Plus, it will automatically store three hours of video footage when there's activity detected. This camera is also equipped with two-way audio so you can easily chat with visitors or delivery drivers.

The final verdict from our reviewers? "The Nest Cam does everything I'd expect and is incredibly easy to use. With the added Alexa support, unfaltering AI and free video storage window, it's one of the best one-time purchases on the market that gets better with a Nest Aware subscription."

If you prefer the wired version, it's on sale for $120 right now, but the installation process will be more involved than the battery-run version.
