The topic Google Home gets a new Nest-like $77 floodlight camera from Walmart [Gallery] is currently the subject of lively discussion — readers and analysts are keeping a close eye on developments.
This is taking place in a dynamic environment: companies’ decisions and competitors’ reactions can quickly change the picture.
Google Home is continuing its partnership with Walmart’s Onn brand, now delivering a Nest-like floodlight camera that costs $200 less than Google’s own.
The Onn Outdoor Floodlight Camera is a hardware wired camera + floodlight combo that includes a 1080p camera, motion-activated lights, IP65 resistance for weather, and more, all while getting the same Google Home integration as a Nest Cam. If the latter point sounds familiar, that’s because this is another addition to Walmart’s lineup based on the “Gemini built in” program that sees Walmart designing products around a solution built by Google.
The camera half of this setup includes night vision and 3 hours of cloud recordings for free, with support for Google Home Premium plans to extend that out. Google Home Premium starts at $10/month (unless you have a Google One AI plan) and, realistically, you’ll need it to get the most out of this product.
As for the floodlight, Walmart says you’ll get 2,500 lumens of brightness which is actually brighter than Google’s own Nest Cam with Floodlight (2,400 lumens). Again, for $200 less. The lights are fully adjustable too.
Onn Outdoor Floodlight Camera is available now for $77 in Walmart stores and online, too.
Meanwhile, Google Home Speaker is expected to launch this week with a Walmart smart speaker also in the pipeline.
