Customer Ratings & Reviews

The Google Nest Cam Spotlight is a great option for anyone looking to add an extra level of security to their Google Home automation. Installation and setup was quick and easy especially if you are replacing an existing exit or light fixture.

We have it placed over our drive way and it is great the light is very bright the motion sensor has different sensitivity and makes it great for when we arrive home late and need some light. Very good quality product is great thinking of getting one for backyard

Product as described. Easy installation and setup. Camera and sound quality is great!

This is our favorite cam of all the different models we have tried, We got one for each side of the house after seeing how well the first one worked.

Excellent direct replacement for floodlights good camera for outdoor visibility from high angle. Definitely recommended if you are already in the nest camera ecosystem.

This Nest Cam with Floodlight works great, was easy to install and I am thinking about purchasing another in the near future for our back porch.

The lights are great at night to help walk my dogs. The picture is also very clear.

Gives good video and great surveillance for my backyard. Initially got it because my wife wanted cameras up. I wasn't really invested but it does give a good peace of mind. The app can be a little clunky but after getting used to it it's fairly easy to use. I've signed up for the $60 /year subscription so can't speak to how well the free service works.

I've had this best cam up and operational for about a year now, and it's been great. The only hiccups I've had were in rebooting the software post-hurricane blackout. You NEED the QR code on the sticker attached to the front of the camera at unboxing. If it's misplaced, thrown away, or otherwise lost, you'll have to jump through hoops to find another way of identifying your specific camera. Regardless, this is a great product, and I'm actually back today to purchase two more.

This is a copy and paste from my review on the Nest Cam Battery since it all applies here as well. At least I was able to return this to BBY and plan to shift all of my Google hardware purchases to BBY as a result. I'll start this out by saying I am a huge user of Google hardware products. Many Pixel phones, earbuds, Google Wifi, 2 Nest thermostats and several Nest Cam IQs. Generally super happy. Then we get to the new Nest Cam with Floodlight. Was super excited for it since one of my Cam IQs died (and with warranty that's too short). Ordered direct from Google, huge mistake there and should have purchased from BBY. My biggest gripe is that one MUST use the Google Home app to setup and control the new battery cams. As many other users have complained about this issue, I can also attest that the Home app is a terrible, terrible experience. Gone are the days where clicking on the Nest app brings up the camera feeds right away. Now you need to click on the Home app, then click on the Camera button and hope the cameras "connect." Also, if my battery cam is not plugged in I understand that it's not powered all of the time to conserve battery but don't you think when I click into Cameras in the Home app that I want to see that live view as well? And then there's the online experience. Why remove the ability to view the footage on a PC????? I use that feature at least once a month and it's invaluable. Oh well, guess Google knows better..... And there's no time stamp within the Home app so god forbid I need to send footage to someone they'll just need to guess when the recording was from. And finally, it's 2021. Why can't we have a 2k or 4k camera? And why no option to mount and power this via AC plug into an outlet? BK P.S. for the Google person that reads this, I don't want your typical form response that you're always listening. I don't believe that so don't waste our time with a canned response. Just please get this feedback to the product team so they can understand what paying customers think of their product they released too early and without much though.

Camera is easy to set up as long as you have existing junction box. It is pretty sensitive. At night I regularly get vehicle notifications that end up being bugs. Although it is plastic it still feels solid and like it will last. I have other google home items and like the simplicity of a single app for them all.

works exceptionally well and better than expected. Very easy to set up.

Cons: Google can't get it right between Nest and Google home. My Google Nest doorbell sends notifications through Nest app, but this thing must be accessed through Google Home (where the doorbell is also visible but doesn't send notifications.... weird). I assume Google will update this at some point, hopefully, maybe.

Great product. Lights a very bright and I really like that it can detect animals.

Lights up the driveway and has good video quality.

We have the doorbell, guard, and mesh network so when it came time to buy a security camera, the flood light/camera made sense. Overall, we’ve been very happy. The set up isn’t terribly difficult but it’s important to follow instructions carefully. Like others, I agree it’s disappointing it doesn’t work with nest app.

Nice camera. Easy to install. Clear, lights work pretty good. Motion sensor is hit or miss . Can suck bandwidth for uploading video, especially if you aren't using super high speed internet service (Like DSL)

Great camera works well even when loose power camera still works on battery

Great quality and good picture. Easy installation. Looks great.

Works great and the Google Home app makes control of the brightness of the spotlight easy.
