    A bit expensive but offers a range of features. Product appears to be of premium quality. Flood light has high lumen. Notifications are a bit delayed. Overall satisfied with product.

      Hi A1Stream, thanks for leaving feedback on Nest Cam with Floodlight, and we’re glad that you’re satisfied with the product and its features. We’re sorry to hear that the notifications are a bit delayed.

      Here are some recommended troubleshooting steps that may help improve your experience with the doorbell:
      - If you have a lot of open apps on your phone, they can slow down its overall performance. Try closing some apps, including the Home app, and then re-open it.
      - If that doesn’t work, you can try restarting your phone or device.
      - Check your network as your notifications can also be delayed by a slow network connection.
      - Other devices in your home may be using a lot of bandwidth. You can temporarily stop a device’s bandwidth use manually by quitting an app or program, disconnecting it from Wi-Fi or ethernet, or by turning it off.
      - The notifications can be delayed if your camera, phone, tablet or computer is connected to a Wi-Fi extender, which adds extra relay time to any device that’s using it. In this case, connect your camera directly to your Wi-Fi router to help reduce the delay.

      For further assistance, or for any concerns you may have, please feel free to get in touch with us anytime at: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest

    Replaced two existing lights above garage and backyard. Google home set-up was easy (do not loose the individual QR codes). Works perfectly, camera and lights switch on with any activity.

    Was not hard to put up for an old guy. A little tricky getting it to notify when something was in range, had to turn on history. Without history on would not notify.

    Purchased this because the rest of my house is nest, but camera isn’t the greatest. During the day it’s always purple, have tried resetting it turning off night vision nothing seems to help. It does do well at night though. Expected more from a Google product especially for how much it costs.

Going beyond these temperatures may result in battery issues. We’d be happy to further look into this with you.

    Works exactly as advertised; no complaints. Installed in less than 20 minutes. Uses the Google Home App instead of the far superior Nest App, but it's fine as long as you are aware of that before you purchase.

      Hi JRFred77, thanks for sharing your experience. We’re glad to hear that you’re satisfied with Nest Cam with Floodlight.

      Motion detection for your Nest Cam with Floodlight can be affected by changes in the light level, and shadows moving across the frame like when a cloud moves in front of the sun. This also includes other movements within the camera's field of view like trees or bushes swaying. We recommend trying out the steps below:
      1. Change the Activity Zones on your camera. You can delete your existing Activity Zone and create a new one in any area within your camera's field of view. Just make sure that none of the zones you create overlap.
      2. Change the angle of your camera and account for the lighting in the surrounding area.
      3. Restart your Camera.

      If you need help, feel free to reach out to our support team. We’d be more than happy to assist you here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest

    It's about time google came out with a floodlight camera. It's great and compatible with the home app. Only down side is its not compatible with the next app. Seems silly not to integrate it with its own app.

    Love it, the only thing that I wish was better is the night vision. Originally we had dusk to dawn bulbs in the garage lights but it caused the nest cam to never go into night vision. We end d up turning the lights off completely and it got a lot clearer. Setup was easy, integration was easy, I have nothing but praise for it. We did buy a starter strap for the camera to the body just in case. It's awful expensive to rely on a magnet only, especially here in Oklahoma where the wind comes sweeping down the plains.

    Easy to install and works well. I installed mine in a soffit condition vs a wall mounted condition. I was not sure it would work properly in that configuration but it works great.
