Although the Google Nest Cam Indoor camera is primarily built for home security, it also has features that enhance family life. This is made possible by its two-way intercom, which allows you to interact with whoever the camera is recording. For example, you could place it in your living room to continue interacting with your kids while you’re away on business. It’s also great for households with pets! If you tune in to the live stream to find the dog on the couch again, you can easily use the microphone to tell him or her to get back off.
