The editors didn't like
It must be said that the USB cable looks rather odd
Emerging from the chin of the camera and not out through the bracket
Which also leaves it vulnerable to burglars
Who might like to steal the camera itself. It is rather expensive and fixed to the wall
Installation pains
Wi-Fi connectivity issues
Costly subscription prices
Not really a secure security camera
The alerts are still sporadic -- you won't get one every time activity takes place. If you want Person Alerts and select other advanced features
You will have to pay a monthly fee for the Nest Aware service

Pricey cloud subscription required to use advanced features, No battery backup, Magnetic mount might make it more attractive to thieves
