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
