$200 for a doorbell that then also requires a monthly fee to operate?

It's a motion-activated security camera that happens to have a button to ring a bell inside your house. And there's power conveniently available next to your front door where you can then get high quality video of people who might be investigating your house for a possible theft opportunity.

So yeah, it's a little more than just a doorbell. That said, it would be nice if it were cheaper.

My problem with Nest security products hasn't been with the products but with the price of the service. I did some calculations a while back and according to my math, Nest data costs at least twice as much as Google Drive data. It's hard to know for sure because I don't think I can find bitrate information for their cameras.
