I have just bought 2 Nest Outdoor battery and the Nest Doorbell Battery. All of them have the same issue: sensibility (in all settings) is poor and therefore, motion detection does not work with camera in idle. I have tried all the things people here usually try with no success. So here are my examples:
Example 1: I have a driveway with 2 cars in line and the camera at back wall, facing both cars rear. No matter what happens, motion of or around the car at the front of the driveway (far from the camera) is never captured. So it is pointless regarding anything that may happen to that car, even with "all motion" setting defined. The front car comes and goes daily and a record of this is never captured.
Example 2: I have a rear garden and my dog goes there frequently. Same thing here: no record at all with max sensibility, all motion settings enabled. A Falcon could grab my dog and I would not know.
Example 3: The doorbell camera is only activated when people are really close or pushing the doorbell. So for security is pointless. Someone can be right at the front of the house and throw a rock and I would not know.
I should have researched this before buying these but I trusted a company as big as Google to give at least a good product.
In my personal opinion, you guys should improve this even if it cost some battery life. I read elsewhere that it captures a frame each 5 seconds? This frequency should be way higher to properly identify motion. And also, more settings so the user can define what works for him/her. In my case, I have small motions (dog, car far from the camera) that are really important and the product does not do what it says.
Google shall work this, otherwise is a FAKE product.
