Solid product, though it mistakes snowflakes for eyes then sends and an alert that a person is detected. I think that is what happens. Headlights sometimes too, though I adjusted the settings and fixed that I believe. Sure does beat having to charge the doorbell!!

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

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.

This was a perfect solution for our condo. The mounting was easy, but pay attention to the orientation of the mounting ring. It’s not easy to change it once installed. The lights and camera can be moved, but have limited range of motion.
The camera works well and the lights can be dimmed using the app. This is a nice feature as this is mounted fairly low and the lights would be too bright.
One downside is the limited storage time unless you pay for the upgrade service. This camera is already premium priced and I didn’t expect to pay a monthly fee for extended viewing time.

I really like the hardware. It is solid and looks sleek. The image on the video is really good, and the flood light is lot brighter than I expected. BUT...
1) Like all current generation Nest cams, these will no work in the Nest App. You have to use the Google Home App, which is not nearly as mature.
2) The support is definitely not as good as other support that I've used with Google before.
3) NOTE: You need to install this into a round junction box. I has assumed that I could use a rectangular one, but I was sorely mistake.

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.

The floodlight and nest cam have an amazing viewing range and light up my entire yard! The facial recognition is fantastic, even very high up and further out. If you're looking for a smart way level up your Nest security system, adding this camera and floodlight combo is a no brainer.

I've been waiting for this product for a long time. As my home is a Google home, one thing they lacked was a floodlight cam. Now I can use this with the many Nest displays I have in my home and see live footage without having to always use the phone. It is a great floodlight, bright, does well at night. And as far as the cam, it has been amazing. Only gripe I would have with the camera, is that the field of view isn't as wide as some of the other devices out there. But still workable and other than this I have no complaints!

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

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 light is fabulous and bright, the camera is very clear and defined. It senses humans but not large animals like deer - not sure why? Not a big issue though. Biggest issue is that once we added this to our network, other devices started having connectivity issues. We have very fast internet service so unclear as to why. Love being able to record backyard activity.

Hey there, Gaillovesdiamonds. Thanks for taking the time to share a review on Nest Cam with Floodlight. We're glad to hear that you liked both the LED lights and camera features. However, we're sorry to hear that you're experiencing connectivity issues after adding it to your network.
Your camera runs algorithms to process video and audio data so it can determine whether it detected something you might want to know about. To detect anything besides a person, animal, or moving vehicle, the camera checks for general motion in the scene. It learns what's normally in its background view and looks for movement and changes. As a result, it may or may not trigger depending on the camera sensitivity settings and if you’re having an active Nest Aware subscription. If you only need your camera to detect people, animals, or moving vehicles, you can change your Nest camera detection settings on the Google Home app: - Open the Google Home app. - Touch and hold your Nest Cam with Floodlight's tile. - Tap Settings > Event.
It's important to have a reliable Wi-Fi signal and a high speed Internet connection available for Nest cameras, to avoid any delays and get immediate recording, during, and in between events. Nest Cam with Floodlight may require up to 3.0 Mbps or a higher dedicated bandwidth to provide the best performance when recording events, especially if you're having multiple devices connected to the same network. Removing some of the other devices connected to your network may help free up some bandwidth space and enable you to test if you will still experience connectivity issues with your Nest camera. Once you confirm that you have insufficient bandwidth, we recommend contacting your Internet service provider to help test your connection and upgrade it if needed.
We'd be happy to help you with your support concerns. If none of the steps provided prove to be helpful, you're more than welcome to reach to our support team here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp
