I’m having similar issues. When it does play my video quality sucks and also my Nest aware subscription isn’t recording more than a 10 second clip. This is my second unit in less than 3 years; current camera less than 4 months old, I just wasted over 3 hours with product support only to get the run around. Moving on to a different option. These cameras are not reliable and product support was no help at all

This is a known issue with the Nest software since the last update. Google is aware of it but will never admit they are at fault. All we can do is wait and hope that they will stop playing with their pixie Dixie phones and put some development into the app. Don’t hold your breath

I did not comment but I ended up on this board because I am having the same problem. It has been going on for a while. I had hoped it would have been fixed by now. How do I get a credit for a month of service?

If you read the boards on here and on Twitter you’ll notice Google will never admit they made a mistake. So that means you will never get a credit from them. This is a server side issue but again google will not admit it

Brad, I have read through about 20 different posts from 20 different users all stating the same... since the latest update, the app has become USELESS for iOS users. Your responses are completely unhelpful and then you lock a topic when people start getting upset at the lack of response and when you do respond, it's scripted BS. Do better or don't even bother.

AL83, great response! They contacted me trying to get more information but I’ve already wasted over 3 hours with tech support and could care less to keep getting the run around. I moved on to the Blink doorbell camera. I’ll say this much. I would much rather have the Google/Nest doorbell camera but not worth the hassle. 2 failed cameras in less than 3 years is definitely a quality issue

you won’t have the wonderful Google home app drawn with crayons.  2 apps to do the same thing.  But you will get to see your video timeline.  Wow too bad google doesn’t care

If the problem is for IOS users you should have had time to fix. I just received a notice to renew the monitoring service. I CANCELED IT!
