https://www.googlenestcommunity.com/t5/Cameras-and-Doorbells/Nest-Floodlight-Cam-Notification-Previews-Utterly-Useless/m-p/123435#M23800 <P>Hi, Purchased the Floodlight Nest Cam. Coming from Ring. I just wanted to make sure I'm seeing these notifications come in as they should, because if that's the case, they are completely useless. I'm on Pixel 6, when a notification comes in, I was hoping to see a GIF preview (as advertised), I only see a still image, and because there is few seconds pre-roll to recording an event, the image only shows me ~3 seconds BEFORE the person/car is in the activity zone, so essentially I only get an empty zone photo every time.... I've tried messing with the different settings in the Home App, but nothing really seems to change this.<BR />I even purchased another Orbi Satellite and put it literally on the opposite wall of the camera, so it is not a wifi issue.<BR />I don't mind the no GIF snapshot, but at least give me a photo of who/what is in my driveway ?<BR />Is this working as intended ? (I am subscribed to Nest Aware)</P><P>Another issue I'm seeing is scrubbing the "sightline" event history timeline, seemingly random clips are able to be scrubbed and I can see the whole motion fast forward/reverse, but others just don't scrub, I get a pause until I let go of the scrubbing, then it plays from there.</P><P>I don't know, it seems half baked this whole thing. I hope the doorbell isn't this way, because I was planning on buying that.</P> Tue, 15 Mar 2022 13:16:31 GMT luke14789 2022-03-15T13:16:31Z https://www.googlenestcommunity.com/t5/Cameras-and-Doorbells/Nest-Floodlight-Cam-Notification-Previews-Utterly-Useless/m-p/123435#M23800 <P>Hi, Purchased the Floodlight Nest Cam.

Google home and the newer cameras were rushed to market without enough time for testing. &nbsp;There is nothing wrong on your end. &nbsp;If you have used Nest Cameras and nest app this is not an issue. Google support will tell you better notifications are coming for google home …. Don’t hold your breath.&nbsp;</P> Fri, 18 Mar 2022 03:09:51 GMT https://www.googlenestcommunity.com/t5/Cameras-and-Doorbells/Nest-Floodlight-Cam-Notification-Previews-Utterly-Useless/m-p/125189#M24133 S3bryan 2022-03-18T03:09:51Z
