Q: 3 hours? So if the bad guy comes to vandalize my farm at 1:00am and I don't see the alert until 6:00am, it's already been deleted by then? Also-is this compatable with the Google Mesh wi-fi booster?

Q: Does this camera have a pre-record option? For instance, record a vehicle pulling into my driveway before it shows the person getting out of the car. Issued I've had woth past cameras. Missing images.
A: Hey there, Jennifer. No, the Nest Cam (battery) does not have a pre-record option. That said, if the device detects motion and records an event, you have up to three hours of event video history — with a Nest Aware subscription you get 24/7 video history.
submitted byGoogle Nest Support - 1 month agoBrand expertA: Hi Jennifer, thanks for reaching out about the Google Nest Indoor/Outdoor Cam (Battery) The Google Nest Indoor/Outdoor Cam (Battery) does not have a pre-record option. The camera primarily records when it detects motion or other "events". Pre-recording would require the camera to be constantly buffering video, which would significantly drain the battery. If you have any additional questions, we welcome you to contact MyTGTtech at 833-848-8324 every day, between 7 am-11 pm CST.

submitted byRobert - 2 years agoTarget expert supportA: Nest cameras and doorbells in general work even without a subscription. You still have basic motion detection, watch live feed, and get videos up to 3 hours in the past, which will automatically expire and be deleted after 3 hours. Depending on which Nest Aware subscription you will avail, your doorbell records and stores either event-based video history or 24/7 video history in the Nest or Google Home app.
