recently we switched up the security system in the cnet smart home to scout a DIY sensor-based kit that performs well and works with the Amazon echo the problem is Scout doesn't offer any security cameras in a system and we wanted live streaming functionality in the house entered nest cam nest cam is the next-gen of the original Dropcam pro cameras they're small durable 1080p cameras that offer a lot of functionality including live streaming they also happen to integrate directly with Scout once they're set up through the nest app you can add them as accessories in the Scout app and set automatic cues like one scout is set to away mode turn on all four cameras or when Scout is set to homo turn on just the garage and the entryway camera so we decided to install four in the scene at smart home one in the living room one in the garage one in the entryway and of course one in the kids rooms basically it gives you the chance to integrate a camera into the Scout system with minimal fuss one significant limitation is that you can't view the live feed from the Scout app but the automation rules really do give you enough functionality to make it the best option to accompany Scout today you
