I can’t wrap my head around this and accept it. After digging through the settings and reading some posts online. I think I have to come to terms that these camera do NOT have a basic camera feature; noise detection.
We had the first Gen Nest indoor camera that could easily pick up our baby crying, that camera, unfortunately, got lost when we moved after having it since 2020. Now, when we bought the 2nd gen, we didn’t really think much of it, newer is better right? WRONG. Not only were we forced to switch to the Google home app (we made our peace with it), but looks like it also made us forsake a basic feature. Is this definitive? Do the Gen 2s really not have noise detection? We don’t really care for JUST smoke or monoxide alarm -whatever or glass breaking detection lol, give us ALL non-ambient noise alerts, this is ridiculous. Yes, we have nest aware plus btw.
We’d hate to return these cameras, as the microphone is really sensitive, it can hear a pin drop lol, oh well, if this is official, worst case scenario we can go eBay browsing for the 1st Gen but honestly this is baffling.
