camera turns itself off = no pics of visitors to bell, can't fix after 2 months

No redeeming features have been available since installation (well, the bell works...) & it is connected to Google home, beyond that, I'm about to reset up the arlo system I had before b/c nest is worthless! re: Wired Google nest

1) Events involving a person at the doorbell are blank - apparently the camera decides to turn itself off for that. In 2 months, No recorded bell visitors have been on camera in 2 months!!!!
2) makes a still entry for motions and sounds out of the zone ,there is no option for assigning zones - It's like the feature doesn't exist
3) mystery events - an image of a person (known and unknown)will be on porch , but disappears! Event can not be found in history

I upgraded to nest aware and finally got videos of residents entering. Strangers ringing bell are still NOT recorded (error message says camera was OFF at the time) I do not use home and away - unit is active 24/7.

I don't have BASIC function of what I bought it for: doorbell visitors recorded on camera!

Hello CO42,

I’m sorry to hear you’re having trouble with this. No worries; we'll check this out. Have you tried doing a factory reset on the Nest Doorbell and reinstalling it in the Google Home app? Check out this link on how to do a factory reset on a Nest Doorbell.

Let me know if that helps.

Thanks,
Edmond
