Cons
Con No native support for Homekit
Nest cameras don't have native support for Homekit. However, you can work around this limitation by running a server on your Mac. You can see a guide on how to do this here.
Con Awkward, unprotected connectors
This Zmodo camera has a bundle of cable connectors (for ethernet and a reset button) that hang awkwardly from the camera, completely vulnerable to adverse effects from weather conditions such as rain or snow.
Con Short power cable
The ZP-IBI13-W's power cable is quite short, measuring only 5 feet. This is quite annoying for a camera that's supposed to be installed on patios or backyards.
