    This camera is worth it. Especially if you're investing in the Google ecosystem which I am. The lights are super bright at night and the sensors are very sensitive which I like. Before I barely step a foot onto my deck. It picks me up and the lights kick on. The video quality is also great!

    Easy to install and set up with Google Home app. One option I haven't been able to figure out is adjusting the brightness of the light. According to Google Change the brightness Note: If you start streaming video from your camera with the floodlight, the floodlight will turn on automatically. Open the Home app and select your floodlight. Drag the slider to change how bright the floodlight is. Unfortunately there is no slider in the app that I can find. Otherwise I really enjoy this product especially since I got it on sale.

    This was easy to install (need two people) and has worked great. Easy to integrate into our set of Google and Nest devices. Lights are easily adjusted and brilliantly bright.

    Item has worked well for the last few weeks The lack of constant recording is a bummer at this price but that is the nature of cloud devices. It was convient to puurchase this device after alreadying having a doorbell from nest as well. Except that the cameras footage shows up in the google home app and the nest camera footage shows up in the nest app, even though the subscription is covering both devices. Either way image quality, recording, sensors and detection all work really well when triggered either via noise or movment

    The camera is same as all other nest cam, which been using for years, not much issue beside something slow connecting, more like is the app issue; however, the spotlights range isn’t that great, don’t expect to light up area far away, the end of your driveway for a normal house is probably its limit

    The Nest Floodlight Cam is a great replacement for existing floodlights that you want to replace or upgrade in locations where you also want to keep an eye on who or what comes around. The installation is as easy as replacing a normal floodlight and I have Google Home so it easily connects by Wi-fi and can be monitored and settings adjusted (how long light stays on, identifying faces/people, sound, etc.) You can even talk through the cam if you want and turn it on/off/ record video with easy commands. Great for added security by a back door or garage (that is in range of your wi-fi)

    I give this product a 5/5 for the idea of what it is designed to do. The problem is getting it to work as intended. I had mine installed by a professional installer. The main problem is around the camera running out of charge and shutting down every other day. Don't bother going through the factory reset that customer service recommends. The problem is quite well documented and you likely have a faulty camera. There is no good reason why a hard wired camera should run out of charge, yet here we are. The likelihood of you getting a faulty camera is probably pretty low. I don't want to overstate it. On another note, the floodlight works perfectly. This is the only reason I still have the device. Overall, it is a good looking device that I really wanted to love.
