Nest Doorbell (battery) Recording

[Mixster181]

Hi, in regards to the free 3 hour recording of video available in the Doorbell (battery). Does this mean each video recording is kept for 3 hours or can you accumulate up to 3 hours of recordings? Each recoding is set at 30 seconds so I would of assumed it would keep some few hundred snippets of video but looks like the 3 hours is from when it starts recording and then removes it. Is this correct or am I missing something?

Your last line is correct. The camera keeps three hours of the latest video history. It doesn’t matter for specific events; it’s overall video history. After three hours, the oldest video history begins to delete as new history is recorded.

Does the video history not upload to the cloud? 

[Rubes]

Yea technically it’s all in the cloud. But only for three hours. Then the oldest stuff gets wiped.

With the paid subscription, it’s a completely different story.
