Setup camera activation when we’re away

Skranstuber

We have a camera set up in our kitchen. I’d like it to only activate when both my phone AND my wife’s phone are away.  It now activated when my phone is away but my wife is still home. Is it possible to have it set so that the camera only turns on when both of us are away.  Does anyone have instructions?  I have mirrored my settings on her phone but it still records when she is home.

Hi there,

You should be able to add other family members to the 'home / away' feature as long as you have switched your cameras from a Nest account to a Google account.

Please have a look at the Google Nest help center link below for full instructions.
