How can I setup nest camera notification schedules?

Hello,

I've recently purchased 4 nest battery and 2 nest indoor cams.  I'm trying to setup the notifications on a schedule so I don't get spammed during the day as my kids and dog are doing their thing, but I do want to receive notification between 10pm and 6am.  I can do this in the nest app with my doorbell, but these new cameras don't want to work with the nest app only the Google home app.

Google Nest decided that its new cameras and doorbells released starting in Sept. 2021 would work ONLY in the Google Home app and NOT in the Google Nest app or on the home.nest.com website. Unfortunately, the option to turn a camera on and off on a schedule is an option that is only available in the Google Nest app and on the home.nest.com website.

Wow, I feel duped. Why call it a nest cam if it doesn't work with nest.  I hope I can still return them.  I tried arlo wasn't happy with that, the software has a lot of features, but the cameras weren't that reliable, that's why I bought all of the nest cams, i was expecting the same quality and functionality of the nest doorbell and app.
