Going from three hours to 30 days will make a world of difference for most users. What really makes the Nest Aware subscription almost necessary is the limits of the free, three-hour clip storage. I'm glad those are included in the $6 option and aren't behind the Nest Aware Plus paywall. Sound alerts for alarms are perhaps more practical, especially if you travel often and want to know when something's not right. Add Familiar Faces and your camera will notify you of people by name, as synced in your Google account. Familiar Faces is a nice touch, but definitely something I'd categorize as a luxury. The included free smart alerts are likely plenty for most folks. Upgrade to Nest Aware Plus for $12 a month, and you'll get all of those options plus 60 days of video history and 10 days of 24/7 video recording if your Nest Cam is hard-wired.
Subscribe to Nest Aware for $6 per month and you'll get familiar face detection and sound alerts (smoke, glass breaking and carbon monoxide), the ability to call 911 from the Google Home app and 30 days of event video history. That's where the Nest Aware subscriptions kick in. That could be a personal problem for sure, but I'm probably not the only one who gets busy and forgets to download the clip. In one instance, I was only able to watch half a clip because I just happened to be viewing it as it expired, at 2:59:30-ish. Multiple times during my testing, I encountered an event that I was notified for and made a mental note to look at later, only to realize that it was no longer available by the time I remembered to check. Then I thought about the Wyze Cam V3 I use at home, which includes 14 days of event history for free. That sounds like a lot, and at first I was impressed. Included without any subscription, you'll also get a three-hour event history and you can download each clip. That's all thanks to a new machine learning chip onboard the Nest Cam. There are also alerts for people and general motion. I can imagine creating a zone that alerts me if the dog leaves the yard and escapes onto the driveway. That level of specificity is nice if you're monitoring a large area with multiple spaces.
