How do I add my new camera to my nest app?

I just purchased a new Nest Indoor wired camera. How do I get it on my Nest app with my other two cameras?

Ok follow along it’s confusing. There are nest cameras prior to the google acquisition. Then there are google nest cameras. From your description you have the google nest camera, which only works with the google home app. If I haven’t confused you yet, download the google home app to enable your camera

Hi AngieS,

As @S3bryan has already said, the newest Google Nest cameras are only available using the Google Home app. You will be able to see your old Nest cameras and the new one all together there but not the new camera on the Nest app.

Linked below is the Google Nest help center instructions for setting it up.

Is there a way I can set this up on my computer? I do not have access to a phone while at work.

Hi again,

Unfortunately no not currently but Google has already said it plans on adding a computer web view sometime this year.

Hey folks,

Thank you for your feedback on this issue, I fully understand the frustrations of not having your new Nest Cams in the Nest App or available on https://bit.ly/3HtBgJC web app. I can imagine having to use two different apps at the moment is quite daunting, and could lead to frustration.

Best Regards,

Brad.

Don’t get your hopes up that Google is listening to customers requests. The latest updates just rolled out.. birthday wishes and tiktok. Show us where on here on online where the demand is for that. No where. It’s what google wants to market not what users ask for. Web integration of your cameras?? Figure another year, maybe
