Google Nest Camera w/ Floodlight

[chrystalbraden]

I recently purchased 3 of these to add to my home system.  I replaced an existing floodlight that is in the soffit.  While I specifically asked BestBuy if this camera could be mounted on the soffit, it really cannot.  The cord is too short and the camera view is upside down.  

Is there an adapter/extension cord that I can purchase which would allow me to turn the camera all the way around so I can view the right-side up?

There is this mounting bracket on Amazon:

I think a Google Nest customer came up with it.

In the settings for the camera the image can be flipped 180° for situations like this

Hi there, I designed and produce these and sell them on Amazon, if you need help with the installation with my bracket design feel free to reach out to me @leedav11 on Reddit.

I answered a similar question from last week, another forum member ended up not requiring my bracket design for his/her use. you can find the discussion here:

Hi everyone,

@chrystalbraden, thanks for reaching out here in the Community. The Nest Camera 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 (passive infrared sensor) motion sensor (which triggers the floodlight when motion is detected). Let us know your update here.

I appreciate the help, MplsCustomer, leedav11 and nutter1.

Regards,

Emerson
