Nest cameras do not have slots for SD cards. They rely on cloud storage for saving and accessing footage. This means that all recordings are stored online rather than on a physical storage device like an SD card.
Personally, I find this feature of Nest cameras to be quite convenient. With cloud storage, I don’t have to worry about running out of storage space on an SD card or dealing with the hassle of manually transferring recordings. The footage is automatically uploaded to the cloud, and I can easily access it from anywhere using the Nest app or website.
While some may argue that having an SD card slot provides an extra layer of security or control over the storage of their footage, I have found the cloud storage to be reliable and efficient. I haven’t experienced any issues with accessing or retrieving my recorded videos.
Additionally, relying on cloud storage allows for easy sharing and collaboration. I can easily grant access to specific footage to friends, family, or even authorities if needed. This can be particularly useful in situations where I may need to provide evidence or share important recordings with others.
Of course, it’s worth noting that cloud storage does come with a cost. Nest cameras typically offer a certain amount of free cloud storage, but if you require more storage or longer retention periods for your footage, you may need to subscribe to a paid plan. However, I personally find the convenience and accessibility of cloud storage to be well worth the cost.
Nest cameras do not have SD card slots and instead rely on cloud storage for saving and accessing footage. While some may prefer the control and security of physical storage devices, I find the convenience, accessibility, and sharing capabilities of cloud storage to be a valuable feature.
