Nest cam facial recognition

[Dyates]

I have 2 nest cams gen 2 battery cameras and want to buy a 5m genuine nest cable to connect to power and was wondering if that would give me the same features as a purchased wired camera as well as save battery. The main feature i am trying to get is face recognition because it keeps alerting me when it’s picking me up.

face recognition will still alert you thats its you.
Every day i get a phone notification that im walking up to my door. An alert that i am there, its ridiculous that you cant customise a notification based on a recognised face.

Hi Dyates,

Thanks for posting here in the Google Nest Community forum. I appreciate your interest in our weatherproof cable. Familiar face detection is part of your Nest Aware subscription, if you have a subscription, these features are automatically available for you to use.

If you have a subscription and it's not working, you can follow the steps below:

1. Open the Home app .
2. Tap Settings Subscriptions Nest Aware Familiar face detection.
3. Turn familiar face detection on or off for each camera.

Nest app

1. Open the Nest app .
2. Tap Settings .
3. Select Familiar faces.
4. Turn Familiar face detection on or off for each camera.

Let us know if that works.
