My nest floodlight camera has a purple tint during the day. It is under an eves and does not have direct light shining on it. It has not been overly warm or cold. The night vision works just fine and at night when the light turns on the picture is normal colors.

Hello Srinivas86,
Thanks for reaching out here in the Community. To know more about this issue, I’d like to confirm, is this a newly installed Nest Camera? What are the troubleshooting steps have you done?
Give these steps a try:
4. Try unplugging your Nest Camera from its power source and reposition it after it’s had sufficient time to cool.
To reset:
1. Locate the reset button on the back of your Nest Camera.
2. Press and hold the button:
3. Release the button. Your Nest Camera will restore to its factory settings.
4. After the factory reset, your Nest Camera will appear as “Offline” in the app until you remove it.
To remove it from the app, open the app, tap on the device, then tap Settings> Remove device > Confirm.
Looking forward to your response.
Regards,
Emerson

It is a newly installed camera 2 months. I will attempt the steps you mentioned in the daytime when I can properly toggle night vision on and off.

I was able to verify that the video tint is only purple when night vision is turned off.

Holding the reset button on the camera appears to have fixed the issue.

The purple tint is back this morning. The camera is cool to the touch and is out of direct sunlight. Further the camera is pointed toward the ground and not subject to taking in direct sun.
