you need to shut camera off via app . turn on to resume recording
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The motion sensor is advanced enough to learn when you leave location via location service of your device.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You can program the camera off motion as well as setting it to a constant on. You also have the choice of video quality or recording. You can even choose sound along with motion detection which can be programmed for alerts on your phone.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes, there is a scheduling section of the app interface for any time or day. You can also set zones for alerts, doors, windows and the like, so you can even keep alerts on and not get bombarded with movement alerts unless they are at entry points.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes, you can schedule a time window when you want alerts sent.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes. I haven't used this on my NestCam cameras yet, but I can see it is available. You can also create motion zones in a single camera image so your notifications can be more specific about where the motion took place. You might need to use a desktop or laptop today et up the motion zones. I know that was true at one time, but they are improving the mobile app from time to time so it may be possible on a mobile device now or in the future. It appears that you can set up the seedless on the mobile app...I see it on the iOS app.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You can set when the alerts occur - https://nest.com/support/article/What-are-Nest-Cam-Activity-Alerts-and-how-do-I-set-them-up#! Set camera to know you are away when the store is closed and that would be the only time you get alerts. My experience has been those are within moments of the action - by notification on your phone and/or email with a snapshot picture You can also automate the away process if you use IFTT recipes
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes, The cameras allows you set recording time. As with all cameras, to record and keep, you'll need a subscription. My purpose is for Real Time so I don't require subscription.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I also work in retail..loss prevention... We have dvrs on our cameras. But you can shut notifications on or off. so the answer to that is yes. They do record 24/7 BUT you have to buy off-site storage or they WONT be "recording" 10 days or 30 days etc. I hope this hepls
