15 Visual Gifts the Nest Security Camera Has Given the World
It turns out home security is good for more than home security.
As the Nest security camera, a mountable, internet-connected camera system that allows owners to watch what’s going on in their homes or backyards from anywhere, has been installed in more and more households, it’s proven to be useful for more than just its advertised security function.
Nest, thanks to its always-on feature, has also been picking up a slew of antics, accidents, and tomfoolery occurring in living rooms across America. The scene these cameras have captured are funny, cringeworthy, satisfying, and adorable. Many of them now adorn the company’s channel on YouTube, proof that Nest is well aware of the many unintended benefits of his project. They even awarded some mock-Oscar awards (the Nesties) to some of the most standout performances.
Here’s hoping the Nesties make an even bigger return in 2018, and here are 15 of the best visual gifts Nest cameras have left us with so far.
