Is sound other than glass breaking and dogs barking being triggered as an event?

In the Nest app with 2020 model camera, you would see one line line for sound triggered events and another line for motion based events. You could easily check when and what sound that woke you up in the night. Now however you can only see fewer "approved/detected" motion based events. Let's say I want to save my son laughing in his sleep as a video that I can download, but now that is not even an option when using the newer cameras and the Google home app!? I want functionality of the older cameras and to be able to use them in the old Nest app. At least don't push people over to more expensive cameras and an app with far less functionality.

Hi everyone,

 

I totally understand that this is a good feature to use with your new Nest cameras, but it isn’t available. I'd suggest you submit feedback about it.

 

More information here.

 

Let me know if I can assist you in anything else; otherwise, I will be locking this thread in 24 hours.

 

Best,

Lance

What is keeping you from implementing this on the new cameras?

Are more functionality being implemented or planned? A separate line for sound and separate line for any other motion for instance.
