I use a Ring camera system at my warehouse that consists of 5 cameras. In the Ring app on Android, as well as on the web, I can view a "master" timeline where all events from all cameras are laid out on a singular timeline.
This allows me to scrub through the events in chronological order and "follow" someone who passes several cameras. I can watch them enter the side door, then walk through the shop, then approach the time cards, then enter the office, and so on.
Is there a master timeline for this in the Google Home app for the Google Nest cameras? I just installed 4 cameras and a doorbell at my house, and I have yet to find a master timeline. Instead, I can only see singular timelines under each camera, which makes it clunky and sometimes difficult to string together the overall scenario.
If someone walks up to my door, then goes around back, then enters my garages, I have to go to each individual device and scrub through their timelines trying to match up timestamps in order to see the "big picture" event that took place.
This one issue is why I don't replace all of our cameras at the warehouse with Google Nest devices.
Is there a way to do this that I just haven't discovered yet???

We've had Google Nest cameras and doorbells for 5 years, and I've never seen a "master timeline" anywhere. It seems it would be a very helpful feature.

Hello everyone,
@rjanderson27, thanks for reaching out here in the Community. This kind of feature is very interesting and we understand how users would benefit from it, however, we don't have any news to share about applying this feature to the Nest app or Google Home app. We're always looking for ways to improve and we'll take it as feedback. I'd suggest you send yours with our Send Feedback form to let the Google Engineering team know about your concern. While they won't respond directly back to you, this is the best way to let them know about this.
I appreciate the help, MplsCustomer.
Regards,
Emerson
