Soffit mounted, Nest Cam with floodlight (wired)

[4bbrooks]

Can the Nest Cam with floodlight be mounted underneath a soffit (horizontal surface)?

If so, does mounting it in this way compromise the motion detection feature or limit the camera view?

Hey there, sorry about the delay.

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.

Hi, everyone.
As we haven't had any activity here recently I'm going to go ahead and close the thread. If you have more to add, feel free to start a new discussion.
Thanks
