Nest Cam IQ review: Lots of exciting features, but the price tag triggers less-desirable emotions

Nest Labs candidly admits it's only been iterating on the Dropcam platform it acquired in 2014, starting with its very first Nest Cam. The all-new $299 Nest Cam IQ is an entirely new home security camera, offering a host of best-in-class features. Does that make it worth three bills? The white, cup-shaped Nest Cam IQ doesn't resemble the original Nest Cam so much as the Nest Cam Outdoor. But the similarity is purely superficial.
