Play your guards right
Burglars love warmer weather, so now’s the time to set up an outdoor security camera tasked with catching criminals – or just cute fluffy animals – in the act

Nest Outdoor IQ
What’s the story?
The standard Nest IQ is a nifty bit of face-recognising kit, but only works indoors. So guess what the IQ Outdoor does? This tamper-resistant HD device with a 4K sensor detects intruders using a 130° view, but you will need to subscribe to the Nest Aware service (from £4/month) for intelligent face recognition and video storage.
Is it any good?
The IQ also has automatic tracking, black-and-white night vision, a triple mic array and speaker, plus Alexa and Google Assistant smarts.
