The 2nd gen Google Nest camera and doorbells released starting in Sept. 2021 can only be installed in the Google Home app, and NOT in the Google Nest app.

As a result, we've been using both apps since we bought a battery camera in Sept. 2021. We can see our 1st gen cameras and doorbells in the Google Home app, but full functionality still remains in the Google Nest app.

Google Nest says they are adding 1st gen Nest app functionality to the beta "Public Preview" version of the  Google Home app (https://www.googlenestcommunity.com/t5/Blog/Public-Preview-updates-Expanded-support-for-Nest-Doorbel...), but they still don't include these and other Nest app functions:

I have several Nest 1st. Gen. I don't want to buy several google cameras to accommodate the google platform. I want an outdoor wired camera that will work on the Nest platform.

Well, Google Nest quit selling 1st gen Google Nest Cameras and doorbells 3 years ago (except I think that they still sell the 1st gen Google Nest Hello Doorbell in the UK because the 2nd gen Google Nest Doorbell is still not available there).

You could try looking online for someone who is selling 1st gen Google Nest outdoor cameras (most likely used).
