Customer Ratings & Reviews

Awesome security light and HD camera. Great product from Google. Buy at your local Best Buy or have it shipped to your door.

Excellent camera floodlight! The picture is clear and works flawlessly. I would have given it 5 stars, but I don’t like the camera is attached to the base by a magnet. I prefer it to be attached with a better secured manner. Otherwise, it’s an excellent camera/floodlight combo.

I have been waiting for this functionality for a long time. Great add on to an existing Nest eco-system with one exception; it does not utilize the Nest app but rather the Google home app. Not a big deal but would have been nice to be able to use choose which app you prefer. I still prefer the Nest app for certain things to be honest. Otherwise excellent and easy to install floodlight camera. Took a star off due to removing Nest App access…

installed this for 2 years, the floodlight worked great. this year it recorded for 3 days while my house was out of power. during power outage the lights won't come on, but battery enables video recording. Saw a few review claiming this can't be installed under the eave, but that's not true, had my installed under the eave with an after market bracket "Nest Floodlight Eave Mount, White (MF001)" found on Amazon

Very easy hardware install (with existing electrical & junction box) Super easy and fast setup within Google home app In comparing to original Nest cams that work within Nest app. The floodlight camera connects to Google home app and your wifi notably quicker and on first attempt. Good granular controls for floodlight vs camera What turns on flood light, floodlight timer, daylight sensor Video and audio settings for camera Camera has battery so when power goes out it still records Light is bright and each light is pretty flexible on which direction you want to point it too Instant, and I mean instant, activity notifications. Vastly improved over how notifications work in Nest app. I can't wait till I can sunset the Nest app. Video quality is excellent. Number of nay sayers out there because it doesn't have 4k specs, but from my experience the video quality is spot on. Sure 4k would be a nice enhancement, however, that takes a ton more bandwidth and storage space. Overall I installed one of these in front yard and one in backyard and they have worked great for me. One is replacing a Nest outdoor IQ cam as where I could mount it was too high and it did not allow good flexibility on where I could positing the camera, the mount makes is very limited. The second went in backyard just as addition. I also installed the Nest cam battery in a couple locations and the two work great together. I've also used Ring floodlight cameras and this one excels above it. As far as video quality, settings, activity notifications, etc.

I had been a part of the Arlo family of products for years. I was always suckered in by their "higher specs" of 2K/4K video. Let me tell you, the Nest Cam in my opinion has much better video quality. I purchased 3 of these floodlights and am about to purchase 2 more as they produce excellent video, great floodlight brightness and quick responsiveness to alert me of activity. For comparison, I put these up in slightly new locations from my Arlos while temporarily keeping the Arlos live. I received the activity alerts 45 seconds sooner from these despite the Arlos having the chance to see me first. From a technical standpoint, I think the Arlo is alerting me after it's finished filming the full "event" whereas these alert at the start of the event, allowing you to actually take action if needed (greet people at door, etc.). Additionally I am receiving much fewer false alerts than I did on Arlo. Installation: Overall this went well. Yes, the instructions say these need to be wall-mounted and 90% of homes with pre-existing floodlights mount these on the roof eaves. I mounted these no problem on the roof eave ceiling with the motion sensor facing outwards and flipped the camera image 180 degrees and I have no issues with the motion sensor triggering. Second, these "must be" hardwired which I did for my two existing floodlights, but you can turn these into plug-in cameras by chopping the end off of an outdoor extension cord, separate the wires and connect appropriately to the correct floodlight wires and waterproof appropriately with electrical tape. Would be great to have official ways of doing this as well.

Its bright and sensor auto detects movements. Clear pictures which i am able to watch on my app. it was quick to install.

Everything you need in a security camera, and super bright motion detector lights. Setup is a breeze with a simple walkthrough from the google home app. Video and audio qualitynis out of this world. The motion detector is not set off by every little movement, as a matter of fact, it has only been set off by either myself walking by, or my dog, no “false alarms”. Grewat product.

The camera and floodlight works great. The camera has a good picture and was easy to install

Easy to install and set up, Works great and clear video.

I installed the Nest Outdoor Camera a few months ago, and it’s been such a good addition to my home. The picture quality is super clear — I can easily see who’s at the door or walking by, even at night. The setup was quick, and it connected to my Wi-Fi without any trouble. I really like how it sends alerts to my phone when there’s activity. It’s smart enough to tell the difference between a person, an animal, or a passing car, so I only get notified when it actually matters. The two-way talk is a nice bonus — I’ve used it to tell delivery drivers where to leave packages a few times. It feels sturdy and looks good too, not bulky or out of place. I’ve been through rain, heat, and wind with no issues at all. Overall, it just gives me peace of mind knowing I can check in on my home anytime, from anywhere. Totally worth it!

I wanted to replace one of my floodlights, but at the time google did not have a cam floodlight product on the market, so I purchased a ring floodlight camera. Eventually, Nest was introduced, and I immediately purchased the cam floodlight and installed, which was simple... I was not disappointed! The google nest cam floodlight and subscription integrated well with my existing google products. The camera works very well. The only difference between the ring and the nest cam in my experience, is the color night vision. However, if I want the nest camera to record in color, I only have to turn on the flood lights, which is a nice option. Comparing the installed Ring and the Nest cam floodlights, both continue to operate well after 18 months. My preference is the Google Nest because of the subscription service fees, and the product itself!

I have several Google Nest cameras. They have amazing video quality with a wide viewing angle. Along with a painless setup, these cameras are top notch. And throw in spot lights that are brighter than the sun, it’s a combo you can’t beat!

Item is easy to install and works great. Make sure to cut off power and use no contact voltage tester to confirm prior to installing. Floodlight is very bright and captures evening footage with ease. The unit does protrude a bit from the wall

After some research we opted to replace our Ring floodlight cams to match our other Nest devices. We made the decision on the Nest Floodlight cams because we wanted to go with all google products and the audio and camera quality were much more improved than our current floodlight cams. Setup was a breeze, light is bright, and we're happy with the camera. We mostly knew what to expect but keep in mind: -- though a Nest cam, it uses the Google Home app. Like others, I really wish the Nest app was going to continue. -- the field of view is not as wide as our prior Ring camera, but the tradeoff of a better camera and audio was fine for us. -- if you need to rewire elements of the camera at all / access the wiring, it is sealed other than the 2 wires for power and 1 for ground. Shouldn't matter for most but I only discovered later that our prior camera had been wired to trigger other lights and to do so he had separated out the wires in the Ring camera. Overall happy but hope the Google Home app runs more like the Nest app in the future as far as cameras go.

Cameras work great, clear nice quality view and the lights are very strong and shiny

I had to get a mounting block for my siding since the previous owners of my house didn't know how to install floodlights properly, but the floodlight cam works great. I love all the settings and the camera quality is good. The night vision is great but having the floodlight turn on automatically is better. I'm going to get a second one for the side of my house.

Very good video quality light is bright enough to light up a very length yard like mine

The Nest Cam with Floodlight works great. I like that you can change the sensitivity of the camera and the floodlight. You can also adjust the brightness of the floodlight.

Easy to physically install (swapped out an existing motion-activated floodlight), and was easy to set-up... However really disappointed that this NEST CAMERA IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH THE NEST APP. It does work well in the google home app, and luckily my existing nest cameras and thermostats are all already in the home app (though I'm not used to checking and using them there, so don't have a good feel for how the UI compares). I get that google is trying to migrate users over to the home app, but I enjoyed the nest app and am annoyed at this misleading marketing. Also note that when the floodlights burn out, you will have to replace the whole unit (maybe not the camera itself though?) - worth researching if you are considering this floodlight.
