Zoom and enhance still missing on google home app

[andrew12]

Now I've have moved my cameras over to Google Home from Nest to use the useful Gemini AI, where is the Zoom and enhance feature which was available in Nest app.

It seems the new camera states it has zoom and crop, but the other cameras you can zoom but not lock it on an area and digitally enhance it,   It seems quite a bit of effort has gone into the camera functionality but not this key feature both online and in the app.

Obviously this can be a privacy issue if you can't lock and focus the recording to specific areas  of your own property depending on mounting position. 

If you add this to google home then we are getting pretty close to parity with the nest app.

Hi andrew12,

Thanks for posting in the community! I understand you've migrated your Nest Cameras to Google Home, but are missing the Nest app's 'Zoom and Enhance' feature, which allowed you to digitally crop and lock the focus on a specific area. I know how important this is for you. I'm here to help!

We appreciate your feedback. To ensure your request about this missing functionality is logged for our engineering team, please submit it directly using our feedback form. Your input is invaluable as we continue to improve the Google Home app.

If you have any questions, feel free to post them here in the forum.

Best,
Juan
