Updates for viewing Google Nest Camera History on a PC

Checking to see if there are any updates to be able to view Google Nest  Camera history from a PC!

I now have five cameras and there are events I either need to look closer into, download to the computer, or have the ability to at least share with someone.  

I see posts on this topic going back to 2022!  Come on Google... it is almost 2024!

New updates to Google Home for camera users: new AI image detection, requested features, and more

At the bottom of their most recent blog post:

"And we're not done yet... 

For our doorbell users, holiday themes will be coming back to Nest doorbells starting December 1st. And for those viewing Nest cameras and doorbells in a browser, we’re working on adding event and timeline history, along with the ability to download clips on Google Home for web. Stay tuned for more details."

Hey Lance - question for you...

If I purchase a new (1st gen) wired outdoor Google Nest camera, and have Nest Aware Plus, will I still be able to view full timeline/history when using the Nest app (until such time as Google Home gets up to speed)?

THANKS

Hey everyone, 

@BLNT, thanks for posting here in the Community. The continuous 24/7 video history is only available for wired Google Nest cameras and doorbells. So all first-generation Nest cameras will have the full timeline and history on the Nest app and on https://goo.gle/2qjvVSU. Here is a link to learn what you get with a Nest Aware subscription

Thanks for the help, @Lance.

Let me know if you have additional questions.

Best,
Edmond

Edmond,

1)  Make every generation of the camera do the same thing (dont take things away)
2)  Allow me to download clips on my phone or my Windows/Apple computer
3)  When you are going to move from beta test from Nest to Home... Have some BETA testers to makes sure our expectations are being met while you develop things
4) Instead of stating the obvious... state WHY you are doing it differently.

Stop doing things half baked!
