Customer Ratings & Reviews

Bright lights and easy setup. My only advice is to pay attention to the little arrows when lining everything up. I had to undo a few times as I overlooked this part. I wish it worked with the Nest app but not a deal breaker for me. I’m hoping the google home app gets more polished though. It’s just too busy for me. The camera works great and picture is clear. Night vision is decent and the lights are super bright. Would definitely buy another to replace another flood light.

Everything you need in a security camera, and super bright motion detector lights. Setup is a breeze with a simple walkthrough from the google home app. Video and audio qualitynis out of this world. The motion detector is not set off by every little movement, as a matter of fact, it has only been set off by either myself walking by, or my dog, no “false alarms”. Grewat product.

I wanted to replace one of my floodlights, but at the time google did not have a cam floodlight product on the market, so I purchased a ring floodlight camera. Eventually, Nest was introduced, and I immediately purchased the cam floodlight and installed, which was simple... I was not disappointed! The google nest cam floodlight and subscription integrated well with my existing google products. The camera works very well. The only difference between the ring and the nest cam in my experience, is the color night vision. However, if I want the nest camera to record in color, I only have to turn on the flood lights, which is a nice option. Comparing the installed Ring and the Nest cam floodlights, both continue to operate well after 18 months. My preference is the Google Nest because of the subscription service fees, and the product itself!

I have several Google Nest cameras. They have amazing video quality with a wide viewing angle. Along with a painless setup, these cameras are top notch. And throw in spot lights that are brighter than the sun, it’s a combo you can’t beat!

Item is easy to install and works great. Make sure to cut off power and use no contact voltage tester to confirm prior to installing. Floodlight is very bright and captures evening footage with ease. The unit does protrude a bit from the wall

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.

After some research we opted to replace our Ring floodlight cams to match our other Nest devices. We made the decision on the Nest Floodlight cams because we wanted to go with all google products and the audio and camera quality were much more improved than our current floodlight cams. Setup was a breeze, light is bright, and we're happy with the camera. We mostly knew what to expect but keep in mind: -- though a Nest cam, it uses the Google Home app. Like others, I really wish the Nest app was going to continue. -- the field of view is not as wide as our prior Ring camera, but the tradeoff of a better camera and audio was fine for us. -- if you need to rewire elements of the camera at all / access the wiring, it is sealed other than the 2 wires for power and 1 for ground. Shouldn't matter for most but I only discovered later that our prior camera had been wired to trigger other lights and to do so he had separated out the wires in the Ring camera. Overall happy but hope the Google Home app runs more like the Nest app in the future as far as cameras go.

I installed the Nest Outdoor Camera a few months ago, and it’s been such a good addition to my home. The picture quality is super clear — I can easily see who’s at the door or walking by, even at night. The setup was quick, and it connected to my Wi-Fi without any trouble. I really like how it sends alerts to my phone when there’s activity. It’s smart enough to tell the difference between a person, an animal, or a passing car, so I only get notified when it actually matters. The two-way talk is a nice bonus — I’ve used it to tell delivery drivers where to leave packages a few times. It feels sturdy and looks good too, not bulky or out of place. I’ve been through rain, heat, and wind with no issues at all. Overall, it just gives me peace of mind knowing I can check in on my home anytime, from anywhere. Totally worth it!

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.

I had to get a mounting block for my siding since the previous owners of my house didn't know how to install floodlights properly, but the floodlight cam works great. I love all the settings and the camera quality is good. The night vision is great but having the floodlight turn on automatically is better. I'm going to get a second one for the side of my house.

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.

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.

The Google Nest Cam with Floodlight is a premium smart security solution that combines powerful lighting, intelligent detection, and seamless smart home integration — all wrapped in a sleek, modern design. ⭐ Pros: Excellent Video Quality: The camera delivers crisp 1080p HD video with HDR, even in challenging lighting conditions. Night vision is sharp, and the floodlight improves visibility even further. Smart Detection: What sets this camera apart is its on-device processing — it can intelligently detect people, animals, and vehicles without a subscription. Familiar face detection is available with a Nest Aware Plus plan. Bright, Motion-Activated Floodlights: The dual LED floodlights are extremely bright and activate instantly when motion is detected. They're a strong deterrent against intruders and also helpful in poorly lit areas. Two-Way Audio & Alerts: Clear audio quality and timely, customizable alerts make it easy to interact or respond remotely through the Google Home app. Google Home Ecosystem: If you’re already using Google Assistant and Nest products, the integration is smooth and responsive. Live feeds can be viewed on Nest Hubs or Chromecast-enabled displays. ⚠️ Cons: No Apple HomeKit Support: While ideal for Google smart homes, there's no native support

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.

Great picture, love the motion activation and the mobile alerts. Easy installation. I wish they could be activated on the old nest app rather than the google home app.

Very easy to install. If the picture is upside down just flip it in the app. At the time of my review it’s not possible to see this camera in the nest app but it does fine in the google home app. I love that I can set it up to notify me if it sees a person and the light is very bright.

These are soo good. If you want a nest camera these are the one to get. Lights are super bright and the motion detection works VERY well.

I only give it 4 stars instead of 5 because it is only a wall mount - you can buy an aftermarket adapter to make it a vertical/ceiling mount. The camera features and quality are excellent. Unlike the ring and wyze, the actual floodlight controls operate as they should. Make sure wherever you mount is close enough to your wifi to be able to update the software during the set up process. That's the only hang up with instaling.

It's a camera with flood lights. It does what it's supposed to. The quality it solid, the sound is good, and easy to used. I haven't used any other brands, so hard to compare how "good" it is. I will say it's much best than the nest doorbell camera. Our doorbell nest camera has issues half the time turning on or the doorbell not work. We haven't had the issues with these cameras.

The camera gives you a great picture. The device also let you customize which alerts you want to receive like cars, people etc. The flood light has the option to set the brightness to the level of your choice.
