Doorbell showed a completely different face

My son came home one evening and while he was unlocking door i received notification that person was seen. My sons face is saved in the library, however when i opened notification it showed a totally random strangers face as the screenshot. How on earth did someones face end up on my doorbell activity when im not even sure this person exists?! It was my son, the face did not even look similar

Review the familiar face photos saved under your son. Look through them all. Chances are the camera snapped a photo of a random over the past few weeks and labeled it wrong. Then delete the wrong photo.

Thats a good thought for sure! I looked through all and dont see photo that isnt of someone i know. Maybe youre right though, maybe it was a delivery boy or something but wasnt in my familiar face library 

Hey Laurencreeden,
 

Thanks for getting back to us. You can name an unfamiliar face in your familiar face library. In that way, it filters unfamiliar faces your camera detects. 

 

Here’s how:

 

  1. Open the Google Home app .
  2. Tap Settings > Nest Aware > Familiar face detection.
  3. If your camera has detected new people, you can tap New faces to find and categorize them.
  4. For each new face, tap Yes, No, or Not a person. Then, follow the on-screen prompts to identify the face.

Thanks,

JT
