Does NOT work with Nest App
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.First and foremost this does not work with the existing Nest app. It only works through the Google Home App. As someone who has 6 cameras, 4 Nest Protects and a thermostat, this is unacceptable. The Google Home App is jumbled, does not offer live view. The camera is fine, the lights are fine, but the fact that it does not work with the app is inexcusable.

Posted .Hi Stev, thanks for being an advocate of Google Nest products. We´re sorry to hear about your frustration with the Google Home app.
Our goal is to make the Google Home app the one place where you can control all your favorite Nest devices and other smart home devices with the Google Assistant. Here are some benefits you can get by using the Google Home app with your Nest Cam with Floodlight:
- Automatic security protections such as Suspicious activity detection, 2-Step Verification and Security Checkup.
- Your Google Nest devices and services will work together. For example, if you have a Nest Cam and a Nest Hub, just say, ¨Hey Google, show me the backyard camera” to cast your camera stream to your display without any additional setup.
- One account to sign into both the Nest and Google Home apps.
- Your homes and home members will be aligned across the Nest and Google Home apps.
If you already have some Nest cameras installed in your home, you may transfer them to the Google Home app. Check out this help article for more information: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/9893532

Great camera
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Can't complain. Battery backup is nice and being able to control the flood light brightness is fantastic. Seamless with the rest of my Google devices

||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We love our google nest cameras. The only issue we have with them is the facial recognition isn’t the greatest and confuses people with others.
I would recommend this to a friendDo you like receiving false alarms at 3 AM?
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Worst purchase I ever made. Google doesn't stand by their product unless you buy from the Google Store. I wasted money buying this product and more paying an electrician to install it. I have been awakened by false alarms dozens of times because this camera thinks rain at night is the same as a moving vehicle. Spiders and spider webs also set off the same false alarm. Google support doesn't care. I highly recommend you stay away from all Google cameras and security products. Only thing this protects me from is a good night's sleep. Also, I suspect Google of using AI bots to write fake 5-star reviews to bolster their scores.

Posted .Hi there, BayBay. We’re sorry to hear your experience with the Nest Cam with Floodlight and our support team wasn’t the best — we get how frustrating this can be. Here are a few things to do when you’re getting too many notifications or notifications you may not need:
1. Adjust which activity you get notifications for: If you need to, you can turn off notifications for certain kinds of events so that your camera only sends alerts for types of activity that you care about.
2. Set up Activity Zones to reduce unwanted notifications: If your camera detects a lot of activity in a specific area, you can create a zone and set notifications for activity outside the zone only.
If these tips don't work, we’d be happy to investigate further and get a resolution for you — reach out to us here 24/7: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp?
Added security at a lower cost
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We bought this for the back of our garage and had it installed by a contracted out company who was an excellent installer and did a perfect job!! (Mendez) It adds so much light and the camera is added security! Great light and camera!
I would recommend this to a friendA good upgrade.
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.A nice upgrade to the Nest family. Wish I could be used in the nest app but it only is shown in the google home app. No big deal but it's still a great camera. This does need to be hard wired so be prepared for that.
I would recommend this to a friendExcellent Product!

||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love the sensors on this device. It lights up the entire front of the house when it detects anything and it helps alot at night when it's dark.
I would recommend this to a friendGreat camera

I would recommend this to a friendLove them!
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Much better than my old Ring floodlights. Not sure why people insist on 4K, but its resolution and quality is just fine in my opinion-especially with the 24/7 video recording. I use Starling, so it works well with Homekit.

I would recommend this to a friendGoogle Nest Cam with Floodlight
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Google Nest Cams will never disappoint. We have the settings aligned just right to ensure we get notifications that matter.
I would recommend this to a friendgreat outdoor security
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.full feature. incredibly easy setup. lights are bright. playback is easy. recommended.
I would recommend this to a friendMonthly Fee for any and feature or disabled
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Beware that after the free trials - if you don’t buy monthly plan - this is basically just a motion sensor light and a camera that will only show the live feed. It stores nothing, and they disable every feather of the camera including the zone you want covered with notifications. Of course, this happens right when the item cannot be returned. This is nothing but a ploy to force u to have the monthly coverage. I would never recommend any security feature from google.
