Security camera

paulobennertz — Wed, 11 Dec 2024 23:39:10 GMT

I'm new to this area, honestly after I saw the google home script I can't stop thinking about everything I can do. I'm from Brazil, buying products from the Nest line is very expensive. I am gradually buying products that connect to the assistant. I purchased a basic security camera. Are there any automations I can set up with this camera? For example, can I map areas, detect motion, or enable facial recognition?
Thanks

Hi @paulobennertz,

Thank you for your timely post and the comprehensive information you've provided. I understand that you want to know if there is any automation, like map area, detect motion, or enable facial recognition in your new Nest camera. I'm here to help you and work together.

To assist you further, please attempt the following question:

What is the model of your Nest camera?
Is this a personal or household routine?

In the meantime you can review this article for further information: Set up and use Activity Zones.

Please keep me posted.

Warm regards,

Jeremy,

Hi @cifuentesj,

I purchased a budget camera but would like to set up an automation where I receive a notification on my phone and a voice message on my Nest Mini when the camera detects motion at a specific time. Unfortunately, I think this might only be possible with Google devices.

Yours sincerely,
Paulo.
