Nest and Ring aren't terrible products. I find both get ludicrously expensive if you plan to store things for more than a week, but the cloud interfaces work really well. That said, I have a personal story as to what makes them fail as security devices. I have a Ring doorbell that also sees where I park. It faithfully notifies me when I pull up, or go to get something from my car. I never installed cameras on my home because I live in a really nice area with virtually no crime, until the day someone broke into my car and 7 others in the neighborhood. I did have the Ring, and when the cops came I gleefully pulled up my app to show them the perps, only to find that my internet had been out for 3 hours during the night which happened to directly coincide with the event. I have cameras now, and good story for people who wish to use these products for security. That would have been a way better direction for any ad in my opinion.
