First, I used to sell camera systems at the national distributor I used to work for.
While I use nest cams, I only need 3 cameras, to cover my small condo. Plus my gf likes the remote access to check in on (and talk to ) our cats. The nest system is very friendly for remote access/monitoring, and reviewing/sharing footage. The drawback is the reoccurring fee for cloud storage, and the traffic added to your home's network.
Most people with a home using 4-8 cameras are likely better off getting their surveillance system off their data network, and using a proper IP camera system with a local NVR. I second using LTS, but Hikvision is a major Chinese manufacturer a lot of people use.
Personally I recommend people stay away from the crap systems seen at Walmart and such. I've seen plenty of times where the footage these systems captured was useless for anything other than confirming that something happened; and nowhere near detailed enough to identify anyone or anything.
