I bought 3 Nest cameras 6 months ago, they suck.
1) they don;t see through windows. I wanted one to view the area by my front door and driveway except at night they don't see because the built in IR light does not go through glass.
2) you cannot review footage without paying $20 per month per camera.
3) I am alerted about every car that drives by but it misses the UPS guy walking right up to it to drop off a package.
Not aware of an IR lights that go thru glass. Only solution might be to put the camera right up to the glass so that the IR doesn't reflect back into the lens.
The "monitoring" cost is what drove me to roll my own.
