Changing camera wake up sensitivity automatically

Base
Community Member

I have a nest camera (battery) on my porch facing onto my path & the street. At low sensitivity it does not activate unless someone actually enter the front yard, which during the day is fine but I would like to increase sensitivity overnight to high (& video length to 3 minutes) then return to low sensitivity during the day. Is there anyway to do this automatically, it's a pain changing the settings twice a day.? I have tried setting up a routine but doesn't appear to be a setting that it can change.

Hi there, 

I apologize for my late response and thank you for all of your patience while waiting for a reply. I understand how frustrating your situation must be, and I would love to help however I can. You can also create custom Activity Zones to further reduce the amount of activity your camera detects. Use the app to draw an Activity Zone around a part of your camera's view, then select the event notifications you want to receive for that zone. Set up and use Activity Zones

Best Regards,

I appreciate the help but this isn't actually a solution to the original problem of automating settings changes

The simple answer would be, no. There is no such option.
