Good to know
- Google publishes only a diagonal field of view (130°); the 110° figure on the spec page is the motion sensor, not the lens.
- Google doesn't sell a first-party solar panel for it.
Will it cover your yard?
Google Nest doesn't publish the horizontal field of view or resolution we need, so the planner can't place this model automatically. We'd rather leave it out than guess.
