    Floodlights work well, motion sensors work well, Google Home app's control of floodlights work well (so you can turn it on like a regular fixture), and records 24/7 video footage.

    Does NOT work with Nest App

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    First and foremost this does not work with the existing Nest app. It only works through the Google Home App. As someone who has 6 cameras, 4 Nest Protects and a thermostat, this is unacceptable. The Google Home App is jumbled, does not offer live view. The camera is fine, the lights are fine, but the fact that it does not work with the app is inexcusable.

      Hi Stev, thanks for being an advocate of Google Nest products. We´re sorry to hear about your frustration with the Google Home app.

      Our goal is to make the Google Home app the one place where you can control all your favorite Nest devices and other smart home devices with the Google Assistant. Here are some benefits you can get by using the Google Home app with your Nest Cam with Floodlight:
      - Automatic security protections such as Suspicious activity detection, 2-Step Verification and Security Checkup.
      - Your Google Nest devices and services will work together. For example, if you have a Nest Cam and a Nest Hub, just say, ¨Hey Google, show me the backyard camera” to cast your camera stream to your display without any additional setup.
      - One account to sign into both the Nest and Google Home apps.
      - Your homes and home members will be aligned across the Nest and Google Home apps.

      If you already have some Nest cameras installed in your home, you may transfer them to the Google Home app. Check out this help article for more information: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/9893532

    Once it was set up amazing. Had aome issue connecting the cam through the app. Hold down the reset button for 20-30 secs and youll see a white light then blue. If its blue THEN it will connect.

    We bought this for the back of our garage and had it installed by a contracted out company who was an excellent installer and did a perfect job!! (Mendez) It adds so much light and the camera is added security! Great light and camera!

    A nice upgrade to the Nest family. Wish I could be used in the nest app but it only is shown in the google home app. No big deal but it's still a great camera. This does need to be hard wired so be prepared for that.

    Much better than my old Ring floodlights. Not sure why people insist on 4K, but its resolution and quality is just fine in my opinion-especially with the 24/7 video recording. I use Starling, so it works well with Homekit.

    This camera is useless if you don't pay the $200 subscription. Im giving it one start because the light works fine and only can watch the live video... again it wont save the videos if you don't pay the subscription
