this was a huge issue for me that i found out today. i was trying to find out if i had something with me when i got out of my car today at 5pm. its 9pm. the only events was me going to work, the mail man, and me coming home. at 9pm i cant find my extra bag, and wonder if i even had it with me coming home. the camera literally only keeps the last 3 hours of items?
here is the literal snippit of information on amazon about this camera posted multiple times:
[2]Up to 3 hours recording.
even going to g.co/nest/3hours it reads: If you have a newer camera like Nest Cam (battery) or Nest Doorbell (battery), you can get up to 3 hours of event video history without a subscription.
so what i have is a few minutes of recorded history a day and to go back and keep that for any amount of time, pay the subscription fee.
its not 3 recorded hours of interactions though, its just scummy systems to require payment on top of payments. brand loyalty and buying multiple items to group up products like the thermostat + homes + doorbells = being a sap i guess. just super disgruntled and disappointed about this entire thing now.
