Nest Cameras?

I've heard of a few people using webcams to livestream their birds nesting and doing other stuff. Are there any you'd recommend, and what are the specs (resolution, size, etc)?

Hello! I have a Nest (brand) camera on my canary's cage. It gives a 130 degree view in 1080p HD. During these short winter days, it's his bedtime by the time I get home from work. With the camera, I can check in on him during the day. There is even a speaker, so I can tweet at him if I want to!

Cool! Can you store the video for uploading later, or does it just disappear?

You can create a clip and save it, Also, if you want to be able to see the last 30 days, you can pay for Nest to keep that available. You can also pay to have the camera notify you if it sees a person, which is useful on the one we have on our front porch. But the live video and saving a clip doesn't require a subscription. I really enjoy ours!
