nest iq does not perform optical zoom, so its completely useless...you can zoom in with every vms or nvr after the fact and achieve the exact same result.
There's some nice advanced features in some of the higher end cameras, as well as the VMS products.
At $350 for a Nest outdoor IQ, I think you can find a really nice PoE Dahua OEM or Hikvision OEM camera that will be superior at that price neighborhood.
