    Nest burst onto the scene with a thermostat that was easy to use, had a slick interface, came with actual smart features and didn't look like someone just taped an off-white box to your wall. It followed that up with a less exciting but possibly more important smoke-and-carbon-monoxide detector. Then instead of building its own camera, it bought Dropcam, changed the name, added some cloud features and tada, the Nest Cam.
