"This video isn't available yet" and "Couldn't load video"

Camera

At this point I'm vowing myself to purchase a far better solution for 2026... I'm done. After what has been YEARS of waiting for the horrible Nest infra to improve, the firmware to be more reliable, the detection to not see "nothing" for hours on end in a camera that has nothing going on, the incessant inability to use either the web or phone app like the old Nest app, literally just about everything... I'm moving on finally. I can't ever use the Home app to see an event that just happened seconds before - when the Nest doorbell I have on the old app can show me anything and everything in a moment's notice regardless of when. Those 2 errors are what I get far more often than not.

There are a number of nice white light color in the dark cameras as far higher resolution, reliability and the locality of not wasting $240 a year on this crap.

I don't get it - how can they ruin such a product that literally was perfect with how it worked, reliability, usability... and then annoy me every time I open the app to move things to their crappier interface?

Sell it off (not to ADT) or just sunset the damn thing already... its tiring but at this point its my New Year's promise to myself to ditch the shit finally.
