    NVR/DVR alternatives to Nest, Arlo cloud features

    YES, LOL!!! Some of those reasons are why I'm moving away from Arlo, but I'm very technical and very anal. We're privy to these drawbacks, but the average person isn't and probably won't ever feel that they're missing out. We're awoke and aware, they're sleep and don't care.

    nest cam alternative with standard IP or USB connections?

    I like the video/picture quality of the Nest Cam Outdoor, but I'd prefer a camera that uses standards (RTSP, ONVIF, HTTP or even USB) so I can connect/stream/record the way I see fit. Does anyone know the sensor of the Nest Cam Outdoor or who actually makes the nest cam camera itself (assuming...
