I am shocked that I spend hours online and could not find a answer to a simple question.

Hi, thank you for reading my question. What I want to know is very simple. I just want to know, when either the google doorbell or Nest camera detects a motion (person or other movement), my NEST HUB can display the view on the camera immediately without me asking it to do so.  I only sees people introducing how the nest hub can announce when someone rings the doorbell, but isn't someone standing at my door without ringing the doorbell more suspecious and needed to be notified immediately?  Thank you for noticing this lack of information all over the internet.

The Nest Hub can only display cameras when the doorbell is rung or if you ask it to show the camera to you. It can't show the camera when there is motion seen by your camera.

Simple answer: No, it cannot.
Events do appear (motion, people, etc.) as a notification on your phone, and you can click on that and it immediately goes to the live view. I find this better, especially if I am not at home.
