Google Nest Cam (Indoor, 2nd Gen)

The Google Nest Cam Indoor isn't marketed as a baby monitor, but thousands of parents use it as one — and it's excellent. 1080p HDR video, person/motion detection, and 3 hours of free event recording make it capable out of the box. Integration with Google Home means you can view the feed on Nest Hub displays, smart TVs, or your phone. When your kids outgrow monitoring, it becomes a security camera. It's the pragmatic, future-proof choice.
