Battery operated Camera/Nest app?

I have 3 nest IQ and a nest doorbell. Now I understand that Google is moving away from the nest app and migrating to the Home app. However I have 4 cameras, and I just added the new battery operated Camera, problem is, you can only view it in the Google home app. Which kinda sucks to quickly see what's going on in the cameras. The nest app was brilliantly simple, the Google home app, not so much.

Can these new hardware pieces be added to the nest app? Is there plans to make accessing cameras as easy?

Open home app click cameras, it's not that bad even has dark theme.

You make it sound so simple. 😆

Open the home app, then click cameras then wait got cameras to load. Then click the camera, then click history. 

Rather than.... 

Open nest app camera live view. Click camera for all history 

Also, you can't slide thought the history in the Home app. 

Hope they make the home app better
