The flood lights are nice and bright and the camera quality is good. The reasons for 1 star reduction are it is having difficulty staying connected to the wifi even though there is a booster near it and it won’t allow me to use the old nest app (a more user friendly app). In order to monitor the feed I had to install it thru the google home app which means my door bell and other cameras are not all viewable at the same time. A previous review indicated I would have to build a mount since it was being installed under a soffit so that was known when I bought the light but nest should consider that because not everyone is installing on the side of a wall.

We’ve got plenty of Google devices so set up was easy. This does have a larger lights and a bigger collar than our old light, so I had to do light carpentry. Bright lights. Clear picture. Wide field of view. This is our first Nest outdoor cam, and it moves quicker through the network than our old Arlo system with a wired base station. But for more than 3 hours video storage, you’ve got to upgrade to Nest Aware. Not so bad as the new plans cover all Nest Cameras rather than a fee for each.

I put this on my detached garage and it picks people up from across the street that even my doorbell camera can’t. The floodlight is impressively bright, looking at it you wouldn’t expect any where near the light it puts out, plus the camera has a night vision mode for when the floodlight kicks off.
