Google Nest Cam with Floodlight - Outdoor Camera - Floodlight Security Camera, White, 1 Count (Pack of 1)

I already have a Google doorbell and subscription to Google Home through ADT. I wanted to add a flood light and camera to my backyard bathroom door which isn’t covered well by the existing cameras. I should have bought this when it was on sale for prime day, but missed it. My handyman was here for other projects, so I had him do this one as well. He took down the existing light and connected this. He did not complain of any problems and it did not seem to take very long. I then easily connected to the camera by my Google Home app, which took about 5 min to set up and update. (There’s a QR code that comes in the box that you scan to speed up the process.) When I went into my Google home app, it showed a battery icon and showed only 64% battery! After googling, I realized that the switch for the flood light camera always has to be switched on 🤦‍♀️ I am so used to turning that switch off from when it was a back door light. I will have to put a sticker or post it note so guests do not turn it off. The app allows you to choose the length of time the flood light stays on for after it detects a motion event. It also turns on if you’re looking live through the camera on the app. You can zoom in on the app live (see a photo of a cobblestone I zoomed in on). The quality is pretty good and the colors are bright. In the app, it shows up as both a camera and as a light. When you click on the light option, you can choose an intensity to keep it on as just a light. If you have this on, it will always be on until you turn it off. My goals for having this were to 1) cover a previously uncovered area with surveillance cameras without breaking the bank, and 2) deter coyotes and other large wildlife from coming in the yard since I have stray cats. So far so good 👍

Before I was using Lorex wireless system, they do not have monthly charges like others do. short story about my experience about the Lorex wireless system, 1 doorbell and 3 wireless camera, I have them all hardwired in, so not on battery mode. In my opinion they worked ok, it only recorded only when actionis in the middle of field of view, and cut off shortly after even when action still going on. so I was not able to accurately see what was going on, then one day, all my camera got kicked out my network, I can not get it back up running. So I gave up on them, leaving the doorbell, which the only thing that did not got kicked out. the Google floodlight camera, i installed 3 floodlight with camera, and 1 camera only. installation of floodlight will required some house electrical knowledge, installation process are straight forward, all hardware are included. set up is a breeze also, scan qr code, find product, connect to wifi, basically done. The construction of light and camera is solid, feels heavy, magnet is very strong, I don't think it will moved by wind, rain and snow. Flood light is bright, pictures are clear, night vision on camera only is ok, the ones with floodlight, night recoding would be in color,because the lights are on. it will start recording before and shortly after action enters and leaves the field of view of camera. Example: I got a notification of vehicle is on my camera, in the video actually records even before vehicle approaching to camera's field of view. I like this feature very much. Also audio recording are clear. All recording are cloud base, there is free or paid. Free one only offer 3 hrs of recording then will be erase whatever is before the 3hr time stemp, or you can pay for 30days od recording. The app is straight forward, easy to navigate. Sometimes I experience "video is not available ..." I would just need to wait a little for it to show up. There was a time I need to remove the camera from the wifi network because it's not getting a good connection, I was not able to reconnect, so if that is the case, you will need to reset the camera, there is a button behind it, push in for 15 seconds so it resets, repeat the connection process and I was good. I don't think I see that instructions in the booklet, maybe it's just me over looking things. With the new google app, all my nest thermostat and camera are on the same app that is a plus. The over all experiences on the product itselfe are good, no complaints. I only have to say thr price is set a little high, that is about it. I would recommend if it fits the budget.

I've been using Google devices for 5 years now. And for the most part they've been great that's why I'm still using them. With the exception of the door lock and the bad idea of the house alarm they had. But the cameras lately have been great and this one I first installed it I was really impressed. I've only had it for 3 weeks and in that 3 week time span it has messed up on me twice now. It's saying it cannot connect to the internet which is BS because we have the absolute best internet that you can buy. I'm a very busy guy and hate to have to keep on taking time out of my busy schedule to go out here factory reset it and get it all set up back on the internet just for it to work for 3 days and for it to disengage from the Wi-Fi. Not saying it's a bad product just be weary of it especially if it is far away from your internet router or if you live somewhere where it rains frequently because I don't think it's his water resistant as they say it is.

This has been a valuable addition to my driveway. Deters people from entering the back garden and lights the parking space when I pull in at night. It gives me peace of mind to be able to check in on my car or verify who’s been in the backyard. The lights are very bright.

Cumplen 100% las expectativas, tienen un excelente ángulo de visión, son muy certeras al mandar notificaciones.

The Nest Cam is the best cameras we have. The clarity is very good, and the set up was very easy. I highly recommend this camera

Works great as I don’t want to run power to this location

La mejor calidad . La versión de cámaras anterior , si perdías corriente , necesitabas de un no break para que la cámara siguiera grabando, ahora no lo necesitas , el cable para instalación final lo venden por separado, me parece por definir el largo que necesitas , si o si compra el cable original Se usan por plan anual , usa las cámaras que necesites en el mismo wifi para pagar solo un plan anual Ayuda muchísimo poder ver hasta 60 días atrás y ahora con el ( battery cam ) ya no me preocupo por perder electricidad , solo basta tener tu wifi con un back up
