Nest cam enhanced zoom recording feature

TBCuthbert — Wed, 03 Apr 2024 01:46:26 GMT

We have had enhanced zoom recording feature for over 10 years. I use it every day to zoom to right area for each of our Nest Cams.

How do we lobby / request this feature to come back? I do understand that it is not there. How do we request it. You have the software coding to do it? Yu have AI that can write the new code for you??? How do we get this feature back. Otherwise the cameras become impractical for many of us.

Hi TBCuthbert

Thanks for reaching out to our community! It sounds like zooming in for a closer look would be helpful for you. Unfortunately Nest Cams doesn’t offer digital zoom at present, we're always looking for ways to improve. Would you be interested in sharing your feedback with us?

Regards

Daniel

@moralesvicente

If Google Nest is "always looking for ways to improve", then why did they TAKE AWAY the Enhance/Zoom function (which is present in 1st gen cameras and doorbells) in 2nd gen cameras and doorbells?

I have provided this feedback probably about 100 times over the last two years.

Great question

How do we raise the profile of the loss of this functionality. I use it daily. It makes installing the cams for security purposes so much more practical.

The enhanced zoom makes Nest cams much more useful. Please port this feature over. You can actually port code from old Nest app to Google Home app. How do we get this request to your Google Home app decision makers?
