    The Google Nest Cam with Floodlight is a security camera that features a built-in floodlight for added visibility and security. It can be controlled and viewed remotely through the Nest app, and can also be integrated with other Nest devices and smart home systems. The camera has 1080p HD video, night vision, and motion and sound alerts. It also has two-way audio so you can talk to anyone on camera.

    Good Detection Capabilities

    This is a decent looking unit, but a bit on the expensive side. I purchased it as it goes with our other Nest equipment and can be managed from the same Google Home app. Be aware that this doesn't work with the NEST app and you can't onboard it there. It'll give you a message to use Google Home if you try. As others have mentioned, Google Home is not as easy to use as the NEST app, so you have to be prepared to make some trade offs. The light itself is pretty good and the ability to recognize faces and tell the difference between cars, animals, people and other motion in the zones we create and monitor is a good feature that we like. This is the main reason we purchased it over some other brands. It's detection and ability give accurate notifications of what's happening is very good after you've tuned the parameters to say want you want to be notified of and what you don't. I experimented with it for a few days and tuned down the noisy items that I didn't care about but to also have it recorded if I ever need the footage. Also be aware that this is a Nest Cam Battery camera so it will NOT record 24 x 7 all the time. It records when there is activity and will continue recording as long as there is activity in the zone being monitored. You can also tell it to record a maximum amount of time after the activity too. Default is 30s. To me, this is a pretty good looking unit and the quality of construction is very good and not all cheap plastic. The plastic used is high quality.

    camera is good installation a nightmare

    i bought two cameras and setup appointment for installation. The first appt the guys said this can't be done by the bestbuy installer it has to come from an outside installer. so i had to setup a new appointment. I took several weeks to get a new appointment. I explained to the representative that he needs to make the right appt because it could not be a bestbuy installer. when the installer arrived, it was a best buy installer who could not complete the job. I had to make a third appointment. I finally got a rep who understood and assured me that the right installer would arrive. He did and installed the first camera no problem. the second camera would not connect to the network. So here it the 4th appointment. It took over a month for this appointment. Then the weather caused a delay so I had to reschedule. The one camera works fine. now i await the completion of of the second camera. i wish you could rotate the camera using the app. The installers were very nice and did what they could. they said i may have to return the other camera and get a new one. that would be another appt because they have to uninstall and remove it from the soffit then i have to return it. Bummer but bestbuy did waved the installation fee. I should also get a gift card for all I've gone thru and it is still not complete. As you can see this all started in Nov 2021. FYI my son bought and installed his camera in 20mins

    I love my floodlight camera. It’s amazing. I connected it in my backyard and it works perfectly with the app. I set the light to come on as you work pass it and set it for a certain time. I have the service so I can view all events months after if I would like.
