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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

This thing is great. Easy to install. Easy to set up. I dont like that it cant go on as an eave mount but you can buy an adapter on amazon and it makes it a eave mounted light easily. Crystal clear video during the day. Great video quality at night. Spotlights are really bright. All-around great product.

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.

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.

I am a huge advocate for simplicity. You do not have to trade away good technology for simplicity. I have been using Nest products since 2013. Google buying them has only made their products BETTER! This light works as advertised. I have man door in my garage that is on a side of my house that isnt easily seen or accessed much. I only have a light hanging by the door. No outlets or any other means of power. But... with the light on the door!!! I took it down and wired this up myself from start to stop in 15 minutes. The lights are BRIGHT and the options regarding motion and sound for triggering the lights covers everything I think anyone would want. GREAT camera

Great addition to my system. I like that you can increase or decrease the brightness of the light and also love that I can adjust the sensitivity of the motion detected. I have owned the nest cams and doorbell for several years and have had this floodlight cam for about a month. So far very great. The install was a breeze with no issues at all. Set up on the app is no problem at all. It took about 30 mins from opening the box to having it up and running. I’m a handy guy though.
