Hi Bultortue,
Thank you for reaching out to the community. I see you’re having trouble creating privacy zones for your Nest Cameras after you searched on the app’s settings and asking Gemini. I’m here to help.
To create an Activity Zone (which serves as a privacy zone for event recording), please follow these steps:
- Open the Google Home app.
- Tap Home, then Cameras, and then choose your specific camera.
- Tap Settings, then Events, and then Seen Events.
- Choose Add a Zone. The new zone appears in the middle of the camera's view.
- Change the shape of the zone to capture what you want.
- Turn your phone to go into landscape mode for a full screen of your camera's view. Make sure that the screen rotation setting on your phone is on.
- Tap and drag inside the zone to move it.
- Tap and drag any of the eight dots on the sides of the zone to change its shape.
- To change the color of the Activity Zone, tap Zone Color. You can pick from four different colors.
- Under the camera view, tap on the Zone Name to give your zone a descriptive name.
- Under Event history, you can choose which types of events you want to record in that zone and which notifications you want to receive.
Additionally, here is helpful article to review more details to set up and use Activity Zones.
Please let me know how it goes.
Regards,
Byron
