I'm New to battery operated outdoor Google camera , purchased yesterday. Do I need the Nest app or can I just use Home app?

 

I have not subscribed , but it looks like that I may need to , as I'm unable to record or download video any advice please as to what I should do , or am I doing something wrong ...

I'm using Pixel phone and a Chromebook ..

The battery cameras require the Google Home app. For video history, you will need to subscribe to Nest Aware if you want to see video from previous days.

Following on from my query , I have deleted the Nest app and I'm justing using Home app, and discovered that I can download video from there ...and I'm hoping that once downloaded it will not be deleted?
