You're paying a slight premium over the already fairly expensive IQ: the outdoor variant will cost $350/£329 when it ships in November. That may be a tough sell given how imperfect Nest's face detection has been, but few outdoor cameras offer facial recognition in the first place. It might be worth a shot just to produce fewer false alarms.

Also, we'd add that Nest is sweetening the pot a bit: its cameras will have Google Assistant integration, giving you sophisticated voice control over your security setup. You'll get it as a free update to your camera sometime in the winter. This won't necessarily settle your buying decision, but it's arguably overdue given Nest's parent company.
