Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

The Nest Cam worked for 5 minutes and then died. It was super hot when I went to check on it after the setup process, since it was saying it was offline. It sounds like other reviewers experienced this as well. My Dropcam Pro never generated heat like this and it is still going strong. Nest also took away the feature that disables the camera when you get back home based on your GPS location. Instead, they redirect you to their other products (thermostat, smoke alarm) to get that feature back in the app. That was the one feature that made it acceptable to put an always-on cloud recording device in your home. Update 11-16-16: The Nest app has come a long way since the launch of the Nest Cam. Nest has basically restored the features that were available in the original Dropcam app.
