It also creates its own wireless network so it doesn't clog up your home network.

We use them for security cameras around the house. The nest dropcam is great but you still need to plug it in which can be a pain outside. We use the nest cams for server room security so I am well aware of both.

You can also get skins for the cameras if you dont like the white. They have black, grey, camo, and coyote brown.
