All updates are good updates but honestly there are few 'basic' features that are missing here.

Date and time stamps on downloaded footage.
Privacy zones
15 second rewind/fast forward when scrolling through footage

Options 3 is in the Nest app. You should be able to port that over. Option 1 shouldn't be a big issue really and 2 is just silly it's not there.

The night time quality has also degraded so much, since at least April as well. I was getting 30fps night shots, where I have loads of light. Totally get there are behind the scenes discussions, space saving data exercises etc but come on! Give yourselves a shake.

I'm still waiting for my Gen 1 Nest indoor cam to transfer into Google home, is the rollout still happening? I've been in the preview since it launched and August is a long time ago so I'm wondering whats going on.

Just checking, you’ve gone through these steps? https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/13038234

not ideal, but can you reset and add directly to GH instead? Or does it have to be migrated?

MS89 — Thu, 30 Nov 2023 10:10:19 GMT

Yes I followed all the steps, unfortuntely it has to be migrated, I tried the reset method and It forces me to run through the setup in the nest app

That’s super annoying!! No wonder you’re irritated about that. I have an outdoor cam that will be applicable at some point. Really hope it’s not buggy for that.

Eh! These are eagerly awaited improvements, especially the ability to create custom clips from recorded videos!

It would be a home run if you included time stamps in these videos for use by law enforcement officers.

Thnak you for the updates and for keeping us informed.

I find it reassuring that Google is coming with new releases about their cameras. I was starting to wonder if Google was abandonning the field as no improvements were added for a while.

Now, as the market and the competition is shifting to 2K and 4K resolutions for their cameras, I wonder if the new cameras from Google will follow suit?

I am so ready for the updates. If anyone see the new feature for exporting clips please post it here and maybe a few screen shots if possible. There was an update available to the app today so I did it but this feature still does not appear. As best I can tell I'm on Google Home a Version 3.10.103 on an iPhone

It is now Saturday December 2, 2023... has anyone see the new clip-export feature appear yet in the app? My iPhone shows I'm running Google Home v3.10.103 but I don't see any such feature.

It’s in public preview NOT full release and you don’t get the preview features on iPhone. You’ll have to wait for the full release; whenever that is.

EmptyNester — Sun, 03 Dec 2023 17:21:48 GMT

Thanks tim, I'm on the pubic preview for iPhone and I was able to migrate my Gen 1 Outdoor cam over to the Google Home app and I can now see recorded events like advertised. So on the iPhone it appears I have some of the new features. I also looked through all the release notes and I don't see anything that says the features are in the preview are not in iPhone. Did you see that written some where?

Well, my bad and apologies! I tried to get into the preview previously (about a year and half ago) and nothing happened on iOS. Kept crashing and not accepting. I phoned support and was told it's not available for iOS; android only. I see an option to join but it does nothing on the iPhone and serves no error message to give me some idea as to why it won't. (ie. Its limited to a certain number of people and they're full up)

EmptyNester — Sun, 03 Dec 2023 18:01:27 GMT

Hello again,,, wow, bummer it won't let you get it. I have been on the preview for over a year (I think). I remember getting it when they first released it for iPhone.

I'm curious, when you got the app store on your iPhone and search on GOOGLE HOME and then actually select it what version number does it show? Mine shows 3.10.103 (see screen shot)

Re: New updates to Google Home for camera users: new AI image detection, requested features, and mor

timmmmyyyyy — Sun, 03 Dec 2023 18:07:36 GMT

So, since you've said you're on it, I've been 'angrily' searching for why. It is because I didn't have 'Add me their groups' selected in Google Groups. WTAF. I cannot tell you how annoyed I am at such a simple 'fix'!

AAAANNNNYYYWWWAAAAYYY, that has now allowed me to 'Join'. Will see what happens.

Apologies, once again.

EmptyNester — Sun, 03 Dec 2023 19:09:11 GMT

Good you found that. Let me know and when you are able to get onto the preview. Did you have a chance to look and see what version of the Google Home app you are on? I'm just curious.
