23 Gifts for Dads Who Don't Need Anything (2024)

I've had the Nest Cam with floodlight (wired) installed in my front yard for a little more than a year, and it's been super helpful not only in lighting up my entryway, but also offering peace of mind. If Dad has been groaning about lack of light by the porch, or is frustrated with porch pirates, this Nest camera is reliable and easy to use. The dual floodlight is bright and covers a wide area, and in the Google Home app, Dad can configure what turns on the floodlight and how long it stays on. The camera, which is technically battery-powered but stays topped up via the power to the floodlights, is quick to send motion alerts on people, animals, and vehicles. Dad can create zones so he isn't inundated with endless notifications of cars driving by, and there's even a way for the camera to let him know if the garage was left open.
