GOOGLE has finally issued a Nest update to patch up a bug that could leave homeowners high and dry in situations of burglaries and theft. <\/p>\n
Last month, an update titled 1.69 for Nest Cam models made all night vision footage blurry. <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Daytime footage had been largely unaffected.<\/p>\n
But that didn't stop the bug from scuppering a Nest customer's chances of capturing footage of their car being broken into overnight in October, according to 9to5Google.<\/p>\n
The footage may have been valuable in a police investigation to catch the thief. <\/p>\n
"Video quality is probably the worst of any smart doorbell at the moment since firmware 1.69," one customer wrote on X (formerly Twitter) earlier this month. <\/p>\n
According to affected users, advice via a Google help forum told customers to clean their cam lenses when they first complained of the 1.69 update. <\/p>\n Fortunately, Google has since confirmed that the issue is a software bug, and that an update is now rolling out to Nest Cam models.<\/p>\n Check if yours is on the list, here: <\/strong><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n The roll out began yesterday.<\/p>\n Though it is likely to become available to all customers in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n Keep an eye out for an update titled 1.70. <\/p>\n Here’s what you need to know…<\/p>\n<\/picture>DROID DRAMA <\/span><\/p>\n
