    Good outdoor camera; DOESN'T WORK WITH NEST APP

    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.

      Hi there, NCAP. We appreciate your feedback, and we’re glad that the installation of the Nest Cam with Floodlight went easy for you. But we’re sorry to learn it didn’t meet your expectations.

      Our priority with this launch was building a complete experience for our new cameras and doorbell in the Google Home app. Our teams are working on enabling the ability to set up and control older Nest cameras in the Home app so users will have one app to control all of their devices. We're also working on bringing full functionality to the Google Home app as we want to create an integrated experience with other Nest and smart home devices.

      Having an option to replace the busted floodlights, instead of the whole Floodlight unit, is a great addition to its features. We’d be happy to share this with the right team for future improvements. In the event you come across any situation where help is needed, you’re always welcome to contact us here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest

    These are a great all around product. The construction quality is great and comes with everything you will need for installation. The lights are surprisingly bright ad the camera picture quality is very nice as well with a pretty wide range. I guess the only complaint I could have it that the camera itself is a little bulky for a digital camera, but it does seem durable. It actually attaches to the fixture via a magnetic mount, which I am on the fence with at the moment. It seems to be a very strong magnet and has yet to fall off, surviving some pretty intense storms and winds, but we will see how long it lasts. It does make for a nice ability to move and position the camera itself in a pretty wide range of positions though. All in all, these are great. I have a couple of them and have no issues with connection or functions at all so far. One other thing I didn't realize ahead of time. These ARE dimmable LED's, via the app. Which is very nice when you want to switch the lights on constant for sitting outside and don't want the super bright LED's blaring down on you.

    Love this camera, lights are bright (and dim-able), great night camera, awesome picture quality. The only thing I dislike is that you cannot use it with the NEST app. You have to use the google home app. That is the only reason for the 4 stars instead of 5.

    Easy to install, love that they included a little hook to hold the fixture while you connect the electric. Flood light and camera works as you would expect. Any seem to figure out how to get the video to stream to my google hub but I’m sure I’ll figure it out when I can spend more time in the settings.

    Eave mount adapter needed

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

    Easy to install and connect. My only complaint is that an adapter had to be purchased to be eave mounted. For some reason most of the so called smart flood light designers think that all flood lights are meant to be mounted flat to an exterior wall? Maybe on new builds? But if you are replacing exististing floodlights in an exististing home chances are you have an eave mounted flood light. Other than that everything is great.

      Hey there, JoshB. Thanks for posting your feedback on the Nest Cam with Floodlight. We’re glad you like its features, and we hear your concern about its integration with the Google Home app.

      We understand that longtime Nest users enjoy viewing their Nest camera feeds from the Nest app. However, our priority with this launch was building a complete experience for our new cameras and doorbell in the Google Home app. We’re working on bringing full functionality to the Home app as we want to create an integrated experience with other Nest and smart home devices. And while the new Nest cameras and doorbells are exclusive to the Google Home app, users with previous versions of Nest cameras can view their camera feeds in the Google Home app alongside the new Nest Doorbell and Nest Cams.

      We hope you're getting the most out of its smart features. If you need help with using the Nest camera effectively in the Home app, simply let us know by visiting us here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest

    Installed two floodlight cameras and added outdoor cameras all around my house and detached garages. Works extremely well with cameras being clear. Hooked them up to solar panels and while the system was expensive it was worth every penny. Google Home app is very easy to use and cameras can be displayed on my in-house Google Home display as well.

    The picture quality is the best I've seen. Easy install & the lights are good quality. The only knock is that it doesn't show up in my Nest app & has to be accessed through Google home. I've read that Google is working on this. Very good product.

    Very easy to install. The only issue was the screws that come with the unit were too long for the electrical box, but a few washers took care of the issue. The camera is amazing and the floodlights are bright.

    Love this thing. Easy to install - at first I thought I needed to wire this to a switch. Wrong. You can tap it into an outlet because it's motion sensored and google home voice activated. A breeze to set up. Light is bright. Camera is fine.
