Significant Improvement in HomeKit Quality for First-Generation Nest Cameras with Starling Home Hub 14.2

Starling Home Hub is the perfect device for people who love Google cameras but want to take advantage of HomeKit. I've been using it since early 2020 and it's constantly improving. The latest 14.2 firmware update brings another nice update for Google Camera users, including improved quality for the first generation of Nest cameras. If you have a Nest Cam IQ, Nest Cam IQ Outdoor, Nest Hello / Nest Doorbell (1st generation, wired), or Google Nest Hub Max, the 14.2 firmware update for the Starling Home Hub will bring significant improvements to video quality by doubling of the frame rate doubles the resolution compared to HomeKit. You also have an increased maximum stream limit for these cameras from 1 to 10, which improves your experience when using the Grid View on Apple TV to view multiple cameras at once. The firmware updates also significantly improve stream loading time for all first-generation cameras, including Nest Cam Indoor and Nest Cam Outdoor, making starting a live view in HomeKit much faster. Finally, 14.2 offers improved audio quality for all camera models, including the second generation 2021+ models of Google Cameras. Firmware 14.2 also supports the first generation of Nest Cam Indoor and Nest Cam Outdoor cameras ported to the Google Home Public Preview app, including support for HomeKit Secure Video. Why Starling Home Hub? If you are not yet familiar with the Starling Home Hub: it is a tool to connect all your Google Nest products to HomeKit. For the cameras in particular, you can enjoy the best of both worlds: Google's wide variety of cameras (I love the Flood cams) and use them within HomeKit for automations while saving recordings in HomeKit Secure Video. You can also get full access to view your cameras on your Apple TV. It works great with Apple TV and HomeKit's doorbell functionality. I use the Google Nest Doorbell with it, and I love it. The Starling Home Hub costs a one-time purchase of $99 and is easy to set up and configure with the Starling app.
