If you’re looking for a nice discount on a great outdoor smart home camera right now (and you don’t mind Google’s ecosystem) look no further than the Google Nest Cam with floodlight. It’s on sale for $209 ($70 off) at Amazon or $209.99 at Best Buy. It’s possible that it may dip to an even lower price during Black Friday / Amazon Prime Day, but today’s deal is a good value if you’re currently sprucing up the homestead with a bit of security in mind.

The Nest floodlight brightly illuminates your yard, driveway, or walk-up when it detects motion and syncs up with the Google Home app to show captured clips of the activity. It supports 1080p video with night vision, two-way audio for communicating with people outside, and IP54-rated weather resistance. Its fanciest features — like recognizing familiar faces or 24/7 recording — are locked behind subscription tiers, but even if you don’t pay a monthly fee, you can get notifications to your phone when it sees a person, vehicle, or animal, and save any clip logged within the last three hours. You can even set up designated zones to trigger your notifications and recordings, so you’re not pestered every time a car passes by.

A Google Nest Cam attached to two bright, adjustable floodlights, this camera has free video recording, powerful lights, and on-device processing of smart alerts for people, vehicles, and animals. There’s no siren, but there is 24/7 recording and facial recognition. Read our review.

I wanna take you for a ride (to more deals)

  • Fanatical is offering a preorder discount for the digital version of Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics on Steam — offering the game for $40.99 ($9 off). If you’re interested in the remasters of iconic 2D fighting games like X-Men vs. Street Fighter and Marvel vs. Capcom 2: New Age of Heroes, this is a nice value that allows you to jump in at launch on September 12th. The collection also includes five other Capcom-made Marvel titles of the ‘90s and 2000s, with added online play.
  • A couple of Anker Qi2 multi-chargers are discounted to their second-best prices to date, each available at Amazon. You can get the Anker MagGo 2-in-1 15W Qi2 magnetic charging stand (for compatible iPhones and AirPods) for just $37.49 when you click the on-page coupon, or opt for the 3-in-1 version (which adds Apple Watch charging) for $74.99 when you click the coupon for $25 off.

Plus, Razer added some nifty functionality allowing you to map touchscreen-only game controls to its physical buttons and sticks.
