Nest cameras are well-designed and integrate nicely with Google's ecosystem. If you're already in that world, they fit naturally.

The limitation is the same one every consumer camera shares: they're reactive. A Nest camera will show you excellent footage of someone breaking into your car. The app will notify you. You'll watch it happen from wherever you are, unable to do anything about it.

scOS doesn't just watch. When suspicious activity approaches your property, we intervene automatically — lights, sounds, presence simulation. The goal isn't to document what went wrong. It's to make sure nothing goes wrong in the first place.

We also work with any wired camera, including Nest's wired options if you already have them. You're not starting over. You're upgrading what protection actually means.
