I have several Nest Outdoor cameras. They are excellent, however, I don't believe that it will detect very small objects like a golf ball. My cameras detect small animals like skunks, cats and so on, but I don't think it would catch something that small. But you have to remember that the camera is always on and you can search the archive video to see if you see anything. I rolled a golf ball for you on my back patio to see if it will detect it. The camera did not notify me of any movement, but I was still able to see it on the playback. Hope this helps. Good Luck.

I believe it can. It picks up on small bugs. It has a setting if you want just people or objects as well

My camera picks up moths flying around my porch. I would venture to say if the object you want to capture is within the eye of the camera, yes, the camera will pick it up.

Yes. It catches a lot of small things. As long as the ball isnt moving too fast for your eye to see. Its a continuous video stream so even if it doesn't alert you, you can scroll through to see and you can even make a video clip and send to your phone or computer
