    I realize that some customers may have no issues with the install and use of this item, but I've had issues with the magnetic charger. The device appeared to be working fine for a little over a week until I received a low battery warning, and the device died completely. Upon inspection (up on a ladder) and after reviewing a few Youtube videos, it was obvoius that there was a visible bluegreen corrosion on the prongs which connect to the camera. I wiped away the corrosion, and in about 5 minutes it appeared to reconnect and charge. This has since happened a few more times, usually and somewhat understandably after heavy rain. Shouldn't these units have been more carefully product tested to withstand all elements?

    This camera is an excellent product, however the only issue i have with it is the fact that Google still has not provided any support of this item on the Nest application. The only way to view this camera is through the Google Home app. This also has taken away some functionality that is on the Nest app yet missing on Google. You cannot dedicate the cameras imager to a particular area like on Nest. Google home is also seemingly more clunky as compared to Nest. If you don't have any of the older Nest items, then perhaps you'll not miss this. The Image is very good and audio pickup is excellent. I can even carry on a conversation with people on the camera end as if I'm using Facetime. It was that fast. The light output from the LEDs is impressive.

      Hi rgiddens, thanks for sharing your feedback, and we appreciate that you find the Nest Cam (battery) an excellent product. We hear your concerns about the app integration and about the missing functionality in the Google Home app.

      We understand that longtime Nest users enjoy viewing the Nest cameras using the Nest app. However, the new Nest cameras and doorbell are exclusive to the Home app because we wanted to create an integrated experience with your speakers and displays. A Nest Aware subscription applies to all of your cameras, speakers, and displays in the same home structure. And you can view both your old and new Nest Cams together in the Home app.

      The Enhance feature keeps your camera zoomed in all the time, even when you’re not watching video. However, this feature is only available for cameras and doorbells set up in the Nest app. We’ll share your feedback with the right team for future improvements. Meanwhile, if you need help around the performance and other features of the Nest camera, please contact us anytime here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest

    If you are looking for a motion detected camera with floodlight, this is it, especially if you are in the Google ecosystem already. May be a little more expensive than others, but for me, it was worth it. I read some reviews that it was hard to install, I did not have that problem. Installation was very easy.

    Absolutely love this. Was easy to install in place of an existing flood light. The only drawback is it does not work with the old Nest App where I have my other 2 Nest cams, only Google Home. Video quality is great.

      Hey there, jay49. Thank you for choosing Nest Cam with floodlight. We're sorry to hear that your experience with the device has been less than ideal when it comes to using multiple apps for your devices. We suggest checking Google Home for web. With this feature, you can use a web browser like Chrome to view Nest cameras and doorbells that you have in the mobile Google Home app. Be advised that in order to use Google Home for web with devices originally set up with the Nest app, you will need to migrate your Nest Account to a Google Account. If you need further assistance or have additional questions, please reach out to our support team on our Google Help page here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest

    This camera is worth it. Especially if you're investing in the Google ecosystem which I am. The lights are super bright at night and the sensors are very sensitive which I like. Before I barely step a foot onto my deck. It picks me up and the lights kick on. The video quality is also great!

    The floodlight is very bright (but dimmable) and the camera quality is GREAT! The microphone is strong enough to even pick up my neighbors conversations across the street sometimes. And the facial recognition from Nest Aware makes this a top tier home security option

    I’ve been using this outdoor camera for a few months now, and I couldn’t be happier with the performance. The video quality is amazing and installation was straightforward, and the app integration makes monitoring easy from anywhere.

    Item has worked well for the last few weeks The lack of constant recording is a bummer at this price but that is the nature of cloud devices. It was convient to puurchase this device after alreadying having a doorbell from nest as well. Except that the cameras footage shows up in the google home app and the nest camera footage shows up in the nest app, even though the subscription is covering both devices. Either way image quality, recording, sensors and detection all work really well when triggered either via noise or movment

    Easy to install and set up with Google Home app. One option I haven't been able to figure out is adjusting the brightness of the light. According to Google Change the brightness Note: If you start streaming video from your camera with the floodlight, the floodlight will turn on automatically. Open the Home app and select your floodlight. Drag the slider to change how bright the floodlight is. Unfortunately there is no slider in the app that I can find. Otherwise I really enjoy this product especially since I got it on sale.

    The Nest Floodlight Cam is a great replacement for existing floodlights that you want to replace or upgrade in locations where you also want to keep an eye on who or what comes around. The installation is as easy as replacing a normal floodlight and I have Google Home so it easily connects by Wi-fi and can be monitored and settings adjusted (how long light stays on, identifying faces/people, sound, etc.) You can even talk through the cam if you want and turn it on/off/ record video with easy commands. Great for added security by a back door or garage (that is in range of your wi-fi)
