Won't record cars at night.

I just installed the nest cam with flood lights. It records cars fine during the day but not at night. When a car comes in the driveway it will turn the flood lights on but not record anything. I have changed all settings to high. Not sure what else to do. Very upsetting to spend $300 on a camera and not have it record something as big as a car at night. I also adjusted the zone several times as it will record cars going down the street which is about 100' feet away even at night but not coming down the driveway. Anyone have any assistance to offer?

 Hi there,

 

Sorry to hear about that. Let's check on this further.

 

A few questions — when did this start? Is this happening on all notification types? Do you have multiple Activity zones?

 

Keep us posted.

 

Regards,

Steve

Had mines installed on 2/27/22 and it is not picking up my car at night either. Why is that?
