What Does Not Belong Here
If your product falls into a different classification, ensure you use the correct category to avoid feed errors. Do not place items in this category if they are primarily intended for photography, videography, or general digital image capture. Specifically, products belonging to the following neighbouring categories must be categorized separately: Digital Cameras, Film Cameras, Video Cameras, Webcams, Disposable Cameras, or Trail Cameras. Borescopes are also excluded from this category.
Feed Implementation
You can populate the google_product_category attribute using either the numeric ID 362 or the full path: Cameras & Optics > Cameras > Surveillance Cameras. While this attribute is optional and Google may attempt to auto-assign a category, providing the specific ID ensures your products are classified accurately. Remember that product_type is a separate, merchant-defined field and cannot replace the required Google product taxonomy value for optimized ad delivery.
