Can hub automatically switch to showing live stream when motion is detected?

DallisG — Thu, 24 Mar 2022 23:51:16 GMT

I need google hub to automatically show me the live stream from the doorbell when motion is detected. Can it do this? Can the outdoor cameras do this? (Alexa/Ring products you can set up a routine that does this. If google can't do this I need to return all the google products my mother bought.)

Hi DallisG,

No Google Nest cameras can not currently perform any other actions when it detects motion other than notifications on your mobile device or turning the floodlights on with that specific camera/floodlight.

Sorry, no this is a community forum supported by other users and community specialist's so we don't know what plans Google has for the future.

Nope but google wants you to have chrome tv integration in the home app. Remember their priorities are not about what people ask for. Oh yeah don’t forgot to pay for your nest aware to be able to use your cameras

@S3bryan eh?

Chrome doesn't have a TV.

Nest Aware has a basic package that allows for 3hrs of events or recordings depending on the device. What do you recommend that has cloud storage without cost?

If your question is in relation to google cameras there isn’t it’s googles ecosystem their way or the highway
