Aqara Camera G100 vs Google Nest Cam Floodlight

Full Smart Cameras comparison in 2026

Updated September 2026
Data from Amazon and official Aqara and Google sites.
2026 verdict
Both of these are outdoor cameras with an integrated light, but the Google Nest Cam Floodlight takes the overall win, backed by a higher rating, HDR video, broader alert coverage, wider connectivity and customizable motion zones.
The Aqara Camera G100 pushes back with a lower price, sharper 2K resolution, RTSP streaming for NAS setups, and a dedicated privacy zone that the Nest does not offer. Both cameras match on weatherproofing, warranty terms and color night vision, so the gap comes down to smart features versus resolution and value. Buyers who want the more capable, higher-rated floodlight camera with wider connectivity and alert options should choose the Google Nest Cam Floodlight, while those who prioritize a lower price, sharper video and privacy-zone control will prefer the Aqara Camera G100.
