  • Nest Aware users are unhappy about rising prices despite worsening service quality.
  • Users are bringing up issues with broken video history playback, unreliable familiar face detection, and more.
  • Many are switching to alternatives like Ubiquiti or Reolink that offer better reliability and local control without subscription fees.
