Security camera / options for packages

Recently moved to Houston (on the cusp of Montrose and Fourth Ward) and have had quite a few packages picked off this past week. I’m eyeing a Nest security camera to go along with my Google Nest Hub, but I’m wondering if the technology can withstand the summer heat. Anyone else have a Google Nest outdoor battery camera and can speak to its performance with the heat, or a suggestion for a camera / options that works with the Google Nest Hub? I didn’t even consider the heat aspect until someone mentioned their battery exploded. 😬

Likewise, open to suggestions for securing packages. My landlord mentioned Amazon Lockers, but I don’t always order from Amazon. Not used to townhouse life without a place to secure packages, so welcoming all suggestions!
