Great on-device person/parcel detection and 3 hours of free event history, but the HA experience is the worst of the bunch: the cloud nest integration requires a one-off $5 Google Device Access registration and a fiddly Cloud Console setup, and there's no local stream. Only pick this if you're already deep in Google Home.
