Customer Ratings & Reviews

This was an awesome camera for it's first year. Then Google decided to mess with the Nest platform, and left this floodlight out of the updates. Now this floodlight will not accept voice commands on anything. So it does not work for its advertised purpose. Worse, Google refuses to acknowledge their update in December made this camera an expensive piece of garbage. Go to Google Nest community to find out how many people who got this floodlight are complaining it doesn't work. They don't care. Steer clear. They do not have anyone still working there that knows how to fix it. Can't wait for one more bot to tell me to restart it (after I climb the 15 foot ladder, again.) Look elsewhere.

The camera was good when i bought it 5 months ago but lately it has been saying low battery! When its hard wired i don’t understand whats going on, but to pay all that money for it to have this problem doesnt sound right to me!

I love this product. Easy to install and setup up and integrates easily with the rest of Google's products.

The lights are good but the camera seems to have a more narrow and longer focus than my Google Nest cams. So it would detect things from far away, like thru yard and across the street. The motion detect for the lights works well but the camera gave me several false alerts.

Can only be used against a wall and not hung from the soffit, I was disappointed since I love nest products

Works perfectly as intended. No issues. Instalation was easy if u know what your doing.

These cameras are great now me and my family feel more safe at home and away from home

Replaced an older model Nest Outdoor Cam with this new Nest Floodlight Cam and it is great! The older camera did a nice job in daylight and had night vision, same as this camera, but the integrated floodlight and motion sensor puts it over the top. The light it puts out floods the entire backyard and I would estimate the sensor picks up motion about 30-40ft away. You can watch live and get event recording for free with this camera, although the Nest Aware subscription gives you the full history for up to 10 days and 60 days of event history. If you have multiple Nest Cams, I recommend the subscription. If you have any smart displays in the house or Chromecasts on your TV, you can ask Google Assistant to stream the camera to your screen. It's a nice feature to have for handsfree viewing if you're busy but need to check on the kids or dog. The picture is clear in the daylight and the night vision works well. You can adjust the settings to how you want the lights to come on and the level of darkness when you want the motion sensor to start activating the lights. You can also use the Home app to turn just the light on or off, adjust the level of brightness, set it so the lights come on when you're viewing the camera feed, and create zones for more accurate notifications. This camera does not work with the older Nest app as Google is moving everything to the Home app. Hopefully all of the Nest's functionality will move to the Home app soon so I don't have to switch between apps for different cameras much longer. Overall, the camera works great and the floodlights are a fantastic addition to the lineup. Installation was very simple and straightforward if you have an existing exterior light with wiring. The camera also has a battery backup so if the power goes out, it will still record events. I would definitely recommend this camera to family and friends.

Great product, it been working great and it was very simple to add with the App.

The video quality is excellent as is the build quality. It installs very easy

Great camera so happy I finally got this. Replaces any old light easily

Lights, sound, video, you need this to start building a smart home

Lights afe bright and it looks great with googles sleek design.

This works great as a floodlight and also a security camera.

I have taken it down a couple of times. The connection fails to charge the battery. I can not get the tile to load that controls the floodlight. Need to see if I still am in the window to take it back.

Works great, easy to install and the app is nice to have

Sleek loom and easy setup. . Love it this product.

The Nest Cam with floodlight works fine by itself. The reason I rate it so low is the problems integrating with my 2 existing Nest Cams. My old Nest Cams work very well using the Nest app. The Nest Cam with floodlight will only work with the Google Home app. The Google Home app is not nearly as intuitive and will not display views of multiple cameras on the same screen. But the biggest problem with the Google Home app is that it will not let me give other people (my wife) the ability to view the camera. When I try to share, it says "Can't invite right now." I've spent hours researching online. Others have the same issue, but no one has a solution. Maybe Google will fix this in an update. At this point I'm sorry I bought this product rather than just another Nest camera like the other two I have.

After a year, the battery stopped charging, Iif you check the message boards, this is a common issue. When I contacted Google they were not helpful

Overall, the camera has a good build quality. However, when you’ll need this camera the most it will be worthless. These new Google home cameras will only allow you to download video history on “Events” that Google has flagged. You cannot download for example a 30 minute clip like you could do with the original Nest cameras. What’s the point in having 24/7 recording if you’re not able to download the footage? I certainly expected more from Google!
