GoogleGM493 and G3AL9 Nest Cam with Floodlight (Outdoor, Wired) Security Camera - Smart Home WiFi Camera, Snow

Accurate alerts

I added this to an existing setup. As this was a new camera it's not supported on the original Nest application I use, I thought this was going to be a downside, but it turns out the Google Home app is as good and probably quicker.

Does the job easy to install

It's great, everything works as it should, but if you're anything like me and switch broadband providers every year or two to get the best deal then you have a problem. With a new service provider there's a new router (sometimes they just send you a new router because the old one they deem faulty) meaning a new WiFi. Get on that ladder, go up to the camera lift it back from the magnet that holds it in place and press a button for 15 seconds to reset the camera to connect it again because they haven't added a feature in the Google home app for you to be and to charge the WiFi and it apply it to all cameras. Funny because with nest you can do this and a doorbell is more accessible than a floodlight usually. So yeah welcome to my world of climbing ladders every year or two.

This product was easy to install even for a DIY person like myself. The app works well with the camera. Only thing to be warned about the light is bright ( not a bad thing ) you can turn the brightness down ( bonus ) . Great product , just a bit pricey but you are paying for great build quality.

Bought this for my Mother-In-Law to replace an existing outside light and give them some security.They love watching the wildlife in their garden at night (foxes and badgers mainly), and it's a great peace of mind for us as we can see the video feed also - no worrying about if they have fallen over outside.The picture quality is great, and the floodlight settings offer a levels of variability both in sensitivity and brightness to stop it going off too often. The floodlight can also be turned on and off separately via the app to act as an outside light.

Camera worked well when first installed but we changed our WIFI changed the wheels fell off.It is not possible to update or change WiFi settings within the Google Home App. I have deleted the original camera from the app but cannot re-add the device as it is no longer recognising the existence of the device. It appears that the camera is linked to the older WiFi but I cannot delete this information from the camera unit. We have found the master reset button but this did nothing.Google support doesn't help and all information on their website is convoluted and contradicting.Please note, this product will soon be discontinued, so based on my experience I would recommend you avoid

Excellent camera, works great with the floodlight which is separately controllable in the Google home app.
