Nest Cam with Floodlight (Wired)

I want to replace my current soffit-mounted floodlights with the Nest Cam/Floodlight combos. Can the cams be mounted on a horizontal surface, like a soffit? All the pics I see are attached to vertical surfaces, like walls). This would really be a miss on Google's part and a dealbreaker for me.

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.
