Google Nest Cam Outdoor or Indoor, Battery - 2nd Generation w/ Wasserstein Solar Panel

[VenomXts]

Am I able to have the nest camera record 24x7 if I have the Wasserstein Solar Panel connected and in a good location for sun during the day?

I want to be able to have the camera give me a past "live" feed with nest aware subscription like I get from my other nest wired cameras. 

Trying to understand this before I do a full install them and am seeing conflicting stories.

Google Nest says this here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/11830989:

"If you’ve connected your Nest Cam (battery) to the Wasserstein Solar Panel, the panel doesn’t directly power the camera. Instead, the battery is trickle charged by the panel, and the camera runs off the battery charge."

And here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/9681538 they say:

"The Nest Cam (battery) must be connected to a power source to have 24/7 video history. If your camera is battery powered, it will only have event video history, even if you have a Nest Aware Plus subscription."

In addition, some customers in this forum have reported that, while they cannot RECORD 24/7 while connected to the solar panel, their battery camera connected to a solar panel seems to be "Live" 24/7 and is therefore running down the battery. They've asked for clarification from Google Nest, but so far I haven't seen such clarification.
