large house and outbuilding camera issues

[boldandfree1027]

I have a large house with a shop and a pool, inside my house I have a MESH wi-fi setup. I have multiple cameras in both the house, shop, and pool. I have the $150 home aware subscription for this house. I cannot add my shop camera and my pool camera (different wifi) to my house as they want to default to the home wifi?? What gives!?!? Should I switch to WYZE cam plus which offered unlimited cameras and unlimited different wifi routers on the same account for $100 yearly??

Google Nest does not clearly document this, but a Nest Aware subscription applies to all of the cameras and doorbells in the same Google Nest "home/structure", and all of the devices in that "home/structure" need to be on the same Wi-Fi network. I've seen a couple of posts from other customers claiming there can be more than one Wi-Fi network in the same "home/structure", but I don't know how that could work.

My house has a connected garage, the WiFi signal is pretty poor so I have a different router in the garage with a different ssid.  WYZE doesn't have this limitation. Its $99 a year no matter how many Wi-Fi s and cameras.  That's what I'm switching towards.

Yes,  MplsCustomer is correct on how it works.  Since you have a MESH setup can  you get one more node so that the same WIFI network reaches those cameras?
