Customer Ratings & Reviews

Returned, as it would not connect to my network. All other cams and doorbell did, this unit would not.

Doesn't connect. Just a $200 motion sensor light! Neither Google nor Best Buy offers any Tech support, so all 3 are going back! I'm a total NEST google guy, but it seems these days it's just to big a hassle, and the products don't work half the time out of the box... it's time to give RING a try! Good Bye Google~!

When the lights come on at at night it floods the backyard which Is very nice and the camera prides great night footage

The flood camera is huge. The Google home app for the camera is awful & primitive. The original Nest app is so easier & way better. The 2nd Gen google nest indoor can is huge also. Who want to put a bowling ball on a wall. The 1st Gen is slimmer, looks better. I'm glad I bought a few 1st Gen Nest indoor cam before Google discontinued them.

I would give it 5 if it only it worked with old Nest app

This is a very good item, everything works properly.

Great nest cam with floodlight, so happy we got it, and pleased with the service.

Ok overall. Image quality is not the greatest but definitely not bad.

I have owned several similar products over the past few years and the quality is very different between brands. The differences include the quality of components, installation and mounting procedures, ease of setup to use the product and finally the quality of the product once it is up and running. Google did a great job on all fronts with this combination. I will start with the ease of physical installation and the mounting hardware. It is very high quality and simple to install. Everything one needs for mounting hardware is included. The unit is solid and stable once installed. The setup procedures were a little bit more complicated for me since I had an existing Nest account that had to be converted to Google Home. I ended up deleting the old account and starting fresh with a new home setup and then it worked perfectly. The device was easily detected and worked immediately upon completion of the installation. The application itself is very robust and also easy to use. I appreciate that I can filter what it alerts me for. I have chosen people, animals and vehicles, but not always motion. Motion is very quick to detect things like turning the lights on and off and I only care about larger objects approaching the camera. The lights are bright, but not obnoxious. I like how the sensitivity can be set and how it can be controlled to when the camera is activated. I have the sensitivity set higher for this, as it can be set to turn off with five different timing options. I have it set for 30 seconds. This is a great quality device that works well. The video is crisp and clear and the lighting is perfect.

I placed my order on November 27. It’s January 21 and no one in customer service can help me locate the status of my order. This is so frustrating.

I am and have been a fan of Google Nest cams and also subscibe to the yearly subscription which gives me face detection and many days worth of replay etc etc. So now that I got that out of the way I will talk about this new offering which FINALLY has spotlights. It is much needed! Installation is not much different then any other nest cam, they come with everything you need really: mounting plate/grounding screws, junction box screws, mounting plate screws, wire connectors grounding wire, anti theft screws, S hook, hex key, honestly I did not even need a lot of the stuff but you wont need to make any extra trips to the hardware store. My installation is usually very easy, I set it up make sure its safe and leave it alone (and always try to include a battery backup so it the light/lights dont go out during storms etc... I use Google home which works seemlessly with this camera, I LOVE, LOVE LOVE! the way it is set up where I can control how bright the spotlights are. I also like that I can set up how long they stay on when they do spot something. Everything is very easy to set up through the app and its nothing new so it has been fine tuned over the years to work very well. I do not add my lights to routines (turn on when I leave or certain time etc) I prefer just basic use with the exception of changing settings on brightness... The camera is very cool looking, works sooooo well and is if you decide to get the subscription i feel its well worth it and excellent. My favorite cameras on the market and yes I am a Nest fan from before it was google nest came.

We love google products and the ai on the camera is perfect.

I suppose the Nest device comports well with other Google devices, but it does not play nicely with Alexa. Alexa cannot control the lights- it can only control the camera. This is a deffinite Don't Buy if you are an Alexa user.

Nice packaging, first. Everything was secure, without excess material. Nothing was broken and all parts are in the box. As a side note, although my garage is wired for internal electricity, there weren't outside lights on it. As a wired camera, I was prepared to do some basic wiring running off the switch. I did wire it ahead of the switch so the camera wouldn't be affected by turning it on or off. So drilling the hole and mounting it to the garage was fairly straightforward, as the directions are step by step. So here's my take. the camera is 1080P which give great pics, some people are upset that it's not 4K, as for me, itf I have a crisp clear picture of Mr. Intruder; I'm a happy camper...this camera does just that. My only gripe is that the camera mounts on its base via a magnet. That's fine for an indoor camera where the chances of a crook swiping it off the wall are fairly remote. It does have a short tether that is supposed to secure and prevent theft, but it can be cut with snips. There are two floods mounting on either side of the camera that have a full range of movement and can be pointed in just about any direction you want. Also as a former lighting salesperson, I was very impressed with the 2400K lumens which throws a very nice distance. Instead of grainy night pics, it shows in color and is very clear. My driveway is steep and pretty dark, the flood and camera gives me an added sense of security, I'm very happy with it

The Google - Nest Cam with Floodlight - Snow adds the option of a floodlight and HD camera to any home all encompassed in the Google Nest family and app. Easy to install, easy to add to existing Nest app, easy to access at home or away, the Nest Cam with Floodlight brings whole-home security when you need it most. I found this to be a perfect add-on to the Nest family I had already installed in my home. With the Nest Thermostat and Doorbell, the Cam with Floodlight was a breeze to add and use in the app. Installation was easy if you are comfortable with wiring outdoor home lighting. After initially installing it in the front of my home, I realized it would be better placed in the back of our house. Less than a half-hour later it was back up and running with the other lights installed. Simple DIY project. We love being able to keep an eye on our house, especially the back yard since we live in the country and it can get very dark and the floodlight is a great deterrent for animals or someone taking a shortcut across the property. PROS - Google Brand, Innovation, Quality - Installation is easy for DIY project - Integrates with new or existing Nest account/app - Bright floodlight - HD cam for both day or night - Monitor at home or away CONS - For extended recording or retention of video/sound you need to have a subscription. Does not impact the quality of the unit. Just consider for longer-term retention of content.

So modern and easy to use definitely recommend this

Doesn't work with nest!!!! So disappointed. I have to use home app for this and nest app for my other cameras. History view is really lame compared to original nest cameras. Fix this Google.

The chargers stop working in few months. Call to get replaced but they don't seem to help.

If I could give it a negative star I would. Have case open with Google "support" since purchase and light is still not working and "support" has yet to resolve.
