This week our backyard Nest camera has started notifying us that it saw a person. It is only happening at night, and there is no person there. However, it is very unnerving. Is it possible to have the Nest Aware software offer a layer/toggle that would highlight/circle the thing that it THINKS that it saw?

Hi cpultz,
Thanks for reaching out. I totally understand that this is a good feature to use with your Nest camera, but it isn’t available. Try to restart your Nest camera, this keeps all your settings, and it should reconnect to the same Wi-Fi network. This is helpful if it ever becomes frozen, has trouble connecting to the internet, or isn’t working normally.
Check out this link for more information about it.
Regards,
Juni

I never really needed help. This was more of a feature request.
In the end, it seems that a 5 gallon bucket on my back patio is what was being identified as a person. When I moved it, NestAware stopped notifying us of a person in our back yard.
