    Easy to install and works well. I installed mine in a soffit condition vs a wall mounted condition. I was not sure it would work properly in that configuration but it works great.

    The Google Nest Cam with floodlights are great. We purchased two for the front of our home and loved them so much, we purchased an additional two for the back of the house. Nice clear picture.

      Hi JRFred77, thanks for sharing your experience. We’re glad to hear that you’re satisfied with Nest Cam with Floodlight.

      Motion detection for your Nest Cam with Floodlight can be affected by changes in the light level, and shadows moving across the frame like when a cloud moves in front of the sun. This also includes other movements within the camera's field of view like trees or bushes swaying. We recommend trying out the steps below:
      1. Change the Activity Zones on your camera. You can delete your existing Activity Zone and create a new one in any area within your camera's field of view. Just make sure that none of the zones you create overlap.
      2. Change the angle of your camera and account for the lighting in the surrounding area.
      3. Restart your Camera.

      If you need help, feel free to reach out to our support team. We’d be more than happy to assist you here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest

    If you own nest cams you'll be used to the nest app. You can't use the nest app with this. You have to use Google home? That app is garbage. The video scanning is trash. The clips it makes are trash. The camera and floodlight are great. The obviousness of having to use two different apps one which is completely terrible. Not worth the price. Just buy a floodlight and put a camera next to it

      Hi Hype, thanks for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that Nest Cam with floodlight didn’t meet your expectations.

      We’re aware that longtime Nest users enjoy viewing their Nest camera feeds from the Nest app and web app. However, our priority with this launch was building a complete experience for our new cameras and doorbell in the Google Home app. We chose to transition to the Home app because this app is designed for the future of the smart home, a single place to set up, manage, automate, and control your home. Most home devices are controlled across multiple apps, but we’re working on making the Google Home app the central controller across all your home devices, including Google devices and devices from other brands.

      We’re always here for your support needs. You can always contact our support team here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp madebygoogle

    Love it, the only thing that I wish was better is the night vision. Originally we had dusk to dawn bulbs in the garage lights but it caused the nest cam to never go into night vision. We end d up turning the lights off completely and it got a lot clearer. Setup was easy, integration was easy, I have nothing but praise for it. We did buy a starter strap for the camera to the body just in case. It's awful expensive to rely on a magnet only, especially here in Oklahoma where the wind comes sweeping down the plains.

    Purchased this because the rest of my house is nest, but camera isn’t the greatest. During the day it’s always purple, have tried resetting it turning off night vision nothing seems to help. It does do well at night though. Expected more from a Google product especially for how much it costs.

    Kind of a pain when replacing a very old floodlight, but once installed properly it is great. Very bright and sensors work great.
