Limited access to some members of a houshold

[Onlyfoolsgaming]

So let me fully understand where Google are at with this system....I have just recently bough several nest cameras....doorbell...2 X floodlight cams....4 indoor cameras.....pretty hefty bill for all that. Now....just so I am fully aware of the situation...can someone confirm that I, as the home owner and manager of the Google home, cannot limit access to these cameras to the people invites to join my Google household? So my 3 teenage kids have full access to all of the smart home including cameras? So nobody sees an issue with this? I have a camera in my bedroom for home security. I live in a bungalow. So mum and dad.....have a camera.....in their bedroom......that they cannot limit access too....from their children? You see where this is going right? Quite an unbelievable ommision....unless no one in the states is intimate with their wives? Am I mistaken? Please tell me I have missed something?

Hello folks,

@Onlyfoolsgaming, thanks for reaching out here in the Community. We hear you and we understand the security and privacy of the situation that you shared; however, we don't have any news to share about applying this feature to the Nest app or Google Home app. We're always looking for ways to improve and we'll take it as feedback. I'd suggest you send yours with our Send Feedback form to let the Google Engineering team know about your concern. While they won't respond directly back to you, this is the best way to let them know about this. 

@songlu, you may do this by creating a new home structure in your app and adding your new Nest Camera there.

Regards,

Emerson

I absolutely see the absurdity of this lack of feature. I have very similar situation. I want the security of all my cameras (which include private personal areas), but would like to share only certain cameras (public areas).

By reading Google's response, they don't seem anywhere near to having this feature available.
