Hello, All –
I'm wondering if it's possible to mount this on a horizontal surface (ie under a soffit for instance) instead of on a vertical surface (ie the "default" method along a wall) as indicated in all the instructions. Are there any limitations to mounting this under a soffit (ie upside down) for instance?
Thank you!

Hey there, sorry about the delay.
The Nest Cam with floodlight is only designed to be installed on vertical surfaces like a wall. It is not designed to be installed on horizontal surfaces because the downward facing angle would reduce the floodlight’s functionality by limiting the field of view of the PIR motion sensor (which triggers the floodlight when motion is detected). Hope this helps and we've also shared your feedback with our team.
Best Regards,
Brad.
