Trying to decide what belongs in your home security setup can feel like comparing two different jobs. One option is a keypad that arms and disarms an alarm system; the other is a camera with a floodlight that watches the outside of your house. The right pick depends on whether you need to control an existing alarm setup or capture outdoor activity.
Quick verdict
The eufy Keypad Home Security System is a low-cost control point for a eufy-based alarm setup, while the Google Nest Cam With Floodlight is a wired outdoor camera that adds bright lighting and weatherproof video. If you already have a eufy Security HomeBase, the keypad gives you a simple arm/disarm point for much less money. If your priority is seeing and lighting the outside of your home, the Nest floodlight cam is the more complete security device.

Where each product wins
- The eufy Keypad wins on price and on simplicity for people who already own a eufy Security HomeBase. It turns arming and disarming into a quick keypad press instead of an app-only step.
- The Google Nest Cam With Floodlight wins on outdoor coverage. It combines a camera and floodlight in one weatherproof unit, and it links into the Google Nest ecosystem.
Product notes
eufy Keypad Home Security System
At $25.49, the eufy Keypad gives you a dedicated control point for a eufy Security HomeBase system. The built-in battery lasts up to 180 days, so it doesn't need a nearby outlet. You can switch between Home and Away modes with a 30-second exit delay, or create custom modes in the eufy Security App. The trade-off is that it is not a standalone alarm: it only works when connected to a HomeBase, and it doesn't include a camera or siren by itself. It is also a certified refurbished unit, so the condition may matter to you. If you are already in the eufy ecosystem and want an easy arm/disarm keypad, this is the more affordable route.
Google Nest Cam With Floodlight
The Google Nest Cam With Floodlight is a wired outdoor camera that combines video recording with a floodlight, so it can both watch and illuminate the outside of your house. It is weatherproof, works with Google Nest, and connects by wire, which means it needs an outdoor wired location rather than a battery. The open-box condition is the main limitation: these units originated as returns and have not been powered on since return, and the exact unit you receive may differ from the photo. If you already have a Google Nest setup and need a floodlight camera for the exterior, this is the more complete outdoor security device.
Final choice by use case
Choose the eufy Keypad Home Security System if you already have a eufy Security HomeBase and want a low-cost, battery-powered keypad to arm and disarm the system from a convenient spot. Choose the Google Nest Cam With Floodlight if you need an outdoor camera that also lights up the area and you have a wired location ready. If your priority is keeping the upfront cost low and you don't yet have a HomeBase, the eufy keypad won't help you on its own; the Nest floodlight cam is the better standalone security upgrade.
