Zoom and enhance on Google Home

[TBCuthbert]

I’m in the process of looking to migrate to Google Home.
From what I see it appears the zoom & enhance is currently not available in Google Home.

Can anyone from Google? Please explain why this function is taken away since you have the code to do it.

Did you decide that us as customers no longer need this?

I’ve been using Zoom. And enhance on all of my cameras for about 10 years and it is invaluable in using cam for yard security.

Interesting comment ...
Not sure why Google needs to drop this if it is possible in firmware or software... 
Why do you think that they would just abandon it ... other than no action for 3 years ...

... they have had little action on Nest cams or on cams automation ... 
we have the 4 defineable Activity Zones on our Nestcams running on Google Home app but no way to access them thru Google script automation ...   the keyword for Activity Zones is missing ...  so with your logic "NEST CAM ACTIVITY ZONES WILL B E GONE AS WELL" 

ALONG WITH 
1. RECORDING OF ALL HISTORY

2. SKIP FORWARD/BACK 15 SECONDS

3. PAUSE

4. TAGGING ALL EVENTS NOT JUST SOME

5. COMPUTER (INTEL OR MAC) ACCESS TO CAMS

6. LARGER SIZE OF PREVIEW OF CAMS ON NEST APP

7. DIRECT SHARING URL LINKS TO RECORDED EVENTS

8. SHARED ACCESS TO NEST CAMS 

9. IMMEDIATE RATHER THAN DELAYED (LAG) ACCESS TO CAM HISTORY

10. TIMELAPSED CAM HISTORY RECORDINGS
Sadly, lots for GOOGLE  to get rid of... while other Cam providers add functionality, Google seems to delete it...

I hope they don’t abandon it, but it’s been years and those items were not added. It’s also been years since those cameras that had those features were being sold. Less and less of them in the wild. Google could easily say there are only xx out there being used, only on Nest, so we are not doing anything else additional with them as far as adding the missing features. 

They could just make the choice to upset a few and just move on. I hope not though, but it’s been a long time.

There lack of interest / progress this past 2-3 years on Google Home app / home automation is confusing. Perhaps they will drop it as well.

Sadly, Continued silence from Google Home on Nest cam futures

• With AI, hopefully they can just now pour the code across

Hmmm,...  Google  ... is now asking weekly for me to move my Nest Cams from iOS Nest app to crippled Google Home app.  ??? 
Sadly, I expect soon they will force us to move to their dysfunctional Google Home app.  
I wouldn't be surprised if they just drop their current Cams completely as another failed experiment like their Nest Protect smoke detectors ... 
Sadly, it also feels like they have a major hate on for Apple iOS as well.

@TBCuthbert 

That's odd; we never get asked.  But we are NOT on the beta "Public Preview" version of the Google Home app.

[SquattingHen]

I am asked every time I look at one of my cameras. Always have to dismiss it. If some of the needed features, for me, were available I would move them over. 

I also have 7 or 8 nest protects….

Oddly, when I migrated my Nest Cam IQ (indoor) that was zoom/enhanced in the Nest app, it stayed zoomed/enhanced in Google home. The problem with that is, I'd have to transfer it back to the Nest app to go back to the fully zoomed out view. WTF Google...

Dear Google,

I’d like the Zoom & Enhance feature added to the Google Home app please. I’m a minority and would like to be recognized if you all care about us.

Thanks

until enhanced zoom is available within Google home. I am staying in nest.

ann 100% access to 7x24 history. Google Home app only allows downloading of events identified by Google Home app Nest cam algorithm.  This misses 10s of 1000s of events on my Nest cams and I cannot get at this history without doing a screen recording. this is so easy on Nest app on browser and Nest app on iPhone.
