I have 3 cams set up in my home. I have bought 3 cams for my mums home.
- if I set up her own google email account, am I able to add these cameras into my google nest app so I can view my home and hers?
- otherwise, is it possible to set up her 3 cameras under my google email account even though her 3 cameras are set up over her internet connection?

Hi everyone,
@H8899E thanks for reaching out. It's good to know that you wanted to have the most convenient way to have access to your Nest Cameras. For starters, Nest Cameras can only be connected to one email address. If you wanted to share it with your other home member, just send them an invite. Hit the links that MplsCustomer has shared above for the steps.
Give these steps a try:
Looking forward to your response.
I appreciate the help, Rubes and MplsCustomer.
Regards,
Emerson

For the first question, the answer is no. The new cameras (assuming you bought cams that were released in 2021 and later) no longer support the Nest app. Only the (not very good) Google Home app. So keep that in mind.
For the second question, it doesn’t matter where the cameras are located or getting their internet connection. You can set them up under your email with no issue but just keep in mind the app compatibility.

You would also need to set up a separate Google Nest "home/structure" for you mum's house, with a separate Nest Aware subscription (if you want a Nest Aware subscription).
