Subject: Please Restore Option to Disable Night Vision on Nest Cam (Battery)
Message:
I’m very disappointed that the option to manually disable Night Vision has been removed from the Google Home app for my Nest Cam (Battery). I use the camera indoors, pointing through a window to monitor outdoor activity. With night vision now forced to "Auto" or "Always On," the IR LEDs reflect off the glass at night, making the camera virtually unusable.
Previously, I could simply turn off night vision and rely on ambient lighting, which worked perfectly. Now, I’m left with poor visibility and no setting to fix it.
Please bring back the manual "Off" option for Night Vision. This small feature makes a huge difference for users with unique setups—especially those using the camera through glass.
Thank you.

Our Night Vision options for our 3-year-old battery camera are "Always on", "Auto (default) low-light color", and "Off" on Version 368.0 on iOS. I don't know when they added the words "low-light color" to the "Auto" option, but in portrait mode it means the "Off" option is barely visible on the right side of the screen.
