"This video isn't available yet" AND I'M SICK OF IT

Kostas

A quick a Google search shows I'm not the only person about to rip down their Nest cameras and switch. Absolutely useless. We're now 15mins past when someone was on my property sniffing around where they don't belong and I can't get the video of his face to give the police. Why do I have four of these things? Nest outdoor with battery, not the floodlight version.

Hi Kostas,

 

Thank you for posting here in the community. I'm sorry that you can't access your recorded video. This could be frustrating since it's the real purpose of the cameras. Help's here.

 

Please follow this article to troubleshoot the event video history. There are a few options to troubleshoot the issue when the camera doesn't pick up the event. Also, make sure that the Nest Aware subscription is still active on your Google Home app, "Home/Structure".

 

Let me know if you need more assistance.

 

Regards,

Byron

I'm sorry but this response is useless. This isn't an issue with the video not picking up events. The issue is videos my cameras have recorded either refuse to play at all or play inconsistently. It's not just on the Home app for Android, it's also on your home.google.com camera grid. I just had another case of unknown people on my property and I am not able to view the video that happened about a half an hour ago. The video is there. It's a minute and a half long. The app and the home.google.com page tells me it's there. I can see the thumbnail preview. But I can't play it. Either on my phone or my laptop, which is where I am right now. Both devices are connected to two different networks, also (laptop is on home wifi, my phone was at first but I clicked it over to the 4G to rule out a network issue). Issue is persistent.

 

My subscription is active because you auto bill me for it every year.
