Can I not add Google Nest Security Cam (Wired) to my Nest Aware Plus subscription?

[thokit]

I bought a  Google Nest Security Cam (2nd generation, Wired) thinking it would be easy to integrate with my 3 existing Google Nest Cam Indoor (1st Generation, Wired) and my Nest Aware Plus subscription. What do I need to do in order to get 24/7 video recording and 60 days of history on all 4 cameras?

@thokit 

If your new camera is the new 2nd gen Google Nest Indoor Camera (wired) or the Google Nest Camera (Battery) plugged in with the optional power cable, it should automatically be included in your Nest Aware Plus subscription if it is installed in the same Google Nest "home/structure" on the same Google Account. However, you will have to use the Google Home app to view history for the new camera, while you will continue to use the Google Nest app or home.nest.com to view history for your three older Google Nest cameras.  That's how it works for us with both older and newer cameras.

I've had to get the Gen1's used because I don't want the 2 apps.
