The right outdoor security camera can help protect your property from theft, intrusion, and vandalism. One of the most excellent surveillance cameras out there is the Google Nest Cam IQ Outdoor. It’s also our pick as the best for night vision. Best Buy is discounting the two-camera bundle at the moment, slashing its price from $700 to $599.

Google Nest made enhancements to the original Nest Cam Outdoor’s solid foundations to deliver even better outdoor monitoring solutions. Secure your home any time of the day by taking advantage of Best Buy’s deal on the Nest Cam IQ Outdoor.

From an aesthetic point of view, this Google Nest outdoor camera screams polished. Alongside the sleek bell-shaped camera is a sturdy aluminum wall plate, creating a look that’s far prettier than its competitors. The camera is hard-wired, so you’ll never have to worry about hacking, signal fade, and frequent battery replacements.

Once up and running, you will be impressed with the Nest Cam IQ Outdoor’s imaging tricks. Its wide 130-degree field of view is more than enough to cover a small or medium-sized backyard. Picture quality is sharp, clear, and balanced when bumped up to the maximum setting. It even allows you to zoom in on an area or on people all while maintaining the crisp image quality. The picture also remains well illuminated with good contrast in low-light conditions, thanks to its superior night vision. It’s leagues ahead compared to its close competitor Ring Spotlight Cam.

For complete monitoring, the camera comes with excellent two-way communication. The integrated three-microphone setup brilliantly picks up ambient noises, while voice recording and audio output are clear and balanced. Settings can be adjusted should you wish to receive notifications when the camera detects sound and motion.

The Nest Cam IQ Outdoor may be a pricey smart home camera, but a first-class user experience pretty much makes up for its high price tag. There’s so much you can do with it, but if you want to enjoy more premium features, you may opt to add a Nest Aware subscription. Order the two-camera kit on Best Buy at a discounted price of $599.

Best Buy knocks $250 off this TP-Link mesh router system

TP-Link BE11000

If you're the type of person who uses a lot of smart home devices, then you know the pain that comes along with not having the best Wi-Fi coverage in your home. Wi-Fi dead spots can be a really big problem, even with the best routers, which is why a mesh router can be a great alternative. If you're thinking of grabbing a mesh router system, then the TP-Link BE11000 is a really solid option, especially since this deal from Best Buy knocks a whopping $250 off the price tag of $800 for a pack of three.

Why you should buy the TP-Link BE11000 Whole Home Mesh System
One of the most impressive things about the TP-Link BE11000 is that it can cover a truly massive area of 7,600 square feet, making it great for larger homes as well, especially given those tend to have the biggest issue with Wi-Fi dead spots. Another big benefit is that it comes with the latest Wi-Fi 7 standard, which is actually pretty rare these days, especially for mesh routers, but you do get better connectivity, lower latency, and the ability to connect up to 200 devices. Also, for those who are VPN users, it supports both VPN servers and clients, meaning you just need to install the VPN on the mesh router and not on every device in your home.

Best Buy is knocking $70 off this 50-inch 4K TV

If you're on a tighter budget and want to grab yourself a nice big TV, then you'll be happy to know that Best Buy is running a special deal on its Insignia TVs that will let you grab a 50-inch one for pretty cheap. While you could go for some of the best TVs on the market, they often cost thousands of dollars and will likely have features you aren't likely to use. On the other hand, this 50-inch Insignia TV deal is going to cost you only $230 at Best Buy instead of the usual $300, so you get yourself a rather massive 4K TV for a very solid price.

Why you should buy the Insignia 50-inch F30 Series 4K TV
While this 50-inch Insignia F30 Series may be on the more budget-oriented side, that doesn't mean it's missing some important features, such as HDR10, which provides you with a lot better contrast than a traditional TV. You also get the higher 60Hz refresh rate, where you'd usually find 50Hz on more budget-friendly options, and it does mean that it's perfect for gaming on a PS5 or Xbox Series X or Series S since most games on those consoles tend to be locked at 4K at 60Hz anyway.
