All of this […]
Painting Street Letters

Nest Outdoor Camera
I happen to like my Dropcam Pro cameras (rebranded to the Nest Cam). While not perfect, they are pretty good at capturing and uploading HD video to the Google cloud. One of the largest gripes about the Nest Cam was the fact that it can’t go outdoors. Sure there are a few good cases that […]
