Nest camera presence sensing

[byo91]

Hi, I have a nest cam and I have set up with the presence sensing on off.

The problem is that I work near home and therefore the cam is always turned off, if I go further it turns on.

What can I do? 

Thanks

Unfortunately, you may not be able to make it work the way you'd like.

According to a Google Nest Community Specialist on this thread, the geofence (or virtual perimeter around your home) for presence sensing uses a radius of 200 meters (656 feet) around your home:

And according to a Google Nest Community Specialist on this thread, there is no option to adjust the radius for geofencing:
