So, I need some sort of security camera-type setup. I only need one right now, and maybe a second in the future. I am borrowing a buddies Nest Cam, and I love everything about it...except for the subscription fee. I wouldn't mind, but I don't need 95% of what it offers; all I need is the ability to store 24 hours of video at a time. Motion detection would be nice, but not needed. I know some of the Samsung cameras will do what I need them to, but apparently the app/web interface is garbage, given that I'm spending $nest on them. Any other options? I don't mind something clunkier, but I don't want to spend $200 for it.

Has anyone used a Nest (or other smart thermostat) in a house/apartment with separate thermostats? I have one that controls AC for the entire unit, and individual ones for heat for each room. I keep my place cool during winter anyways, so I'm not concerned about the heat - I just leave it at 65 during the winter - but I do like to use the AC 8 months out of the year. Is it worth it (and will it even work) to have it control only the air?
