The most powerful wired outdoor camera, the Nest Cam IQ Outdoor's 4K sensor produces the best-quality video. Facial recognition adds another dimension to protection, letting you see who came to your home that you didn't know. While the Nest app is the bes...
The Nest IQ Outdoor is a impressive package; sleek, premium hardware, very good image quality and a set of useful notifications including facial recognition. The alerts are particularly helpful and lift the camera from passive gadget into a useful additio...

After a few confusing installation hiccups, this camera has been a fantastic addition to my security loadout. It's reliable and fast with best-in-class video, and it sports cool extras like facial recognition and a lower minimum operating temperature. The...

There are two very distinct halves to the Nest experience, and which you get depends on whether you're a Nest Aware subscriber. If you're trying to avoid a monthly subscription then, honestly, Nest's cameras aren't for you. The feature set is just too lim...

There's no question the IQ Outdoor is a more feature-rich camera than the Nest Cam Outdoor. Whether that makes it a “better” camera for you probably comes down to price and convenience. The IQ Outdoor costs nearly $200 more than the Nest Cam Outdoor, and...
The $349 Nest Cam IQ Outdoor sends fast motion and person alerts. Sign up for Nest's cloud service starting at $5 per month to get custom person alerts for anyone you add to your facial recognition database. The IQ Outdoor works with Alexa and Google Assi

Powerful person alerts, Good quality video footage, Loud two-way speaker system, Secure fitting and installation options, Customisable notifications, Compatible with other smart home devices
Free plan is limited to three hours of footage (competitors offer far more), Notifications are sometimes overwhelming, Person detection isn't always perfect, Digital zoom is underwhelming
The Nest Cam IQ Outdoor is certainly much improved over the original Nest Cam Outdoor. Although still far from subtle in terms of design, it's easier to install and its design changes make it more secure too - hiding the power cable behind the secure moun...
The Nest Cam IQ is a great little camera that does everything you want. It has a wide angled lens, night vision, is small, and is connected via Wi-Fi, and everything you need to get going, including wall mounting kit is included in the box.The first thing...
