The 'Nest Aware' home monitoring subscription is more than just a way to keep tabs on one's abode. As Nest is hoping to show, the video feeds can be used as a creative way to [remember family events](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yearreflect). To encourage users to make use of the subscription service as such, Nest Aware now offers a new feature called 'Instaclips.'

Instaclips are a quick way to make [time-lapse videos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/velocity-lapse) based on the footage from Nest cameras. Though Nest has already offered the ability to mark when action is taking place in the video, Instaclips are a [one-click feature](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/instaphotoai) that lets users turn that footage into something perfect for sharing. By pressing the Instaclip button at the start and end of some action, the system will automatically create a time-lapse video.
