Hi everyone, I have a lot of cameras in my house but it's all weird so I wanna add some cameras fast without the need to cut up and so on!! so I decided to add 2 Google Nest cameras, now since I have a lot of cameras and all with hikvision so I was trying to connect the Google Nest cameras to hikvision NVR but it should only display the live feet on the main screen that I have in my kitchen since hikvision offers the feature of adding IP cameras by adding there IP (of course needs to be on the same WI-FI) so I tried getting the URL to access the live feed from the camera using all google API's, so I made an API on cloud.google.com and made sure that the APIS is for smart device management API, then I created an account on console.nest.google.com (witch cost $5) and I connect it to the API, and tried to run a script that should retrieve the camera URL, now the main issue is that I can't get the product ID (meaning the camera ID) on console.nest.google.com but in the home app (google Home) I can see the camera + the protected ID, the issue is that I get getting an error when trying this saying that the prodeic ID isn't good,
I am almost sure that the issue is that the camera isn't linked to the console.nest.google.com and the main problem is that there is no way to register a camera or link a camera there, but the funniest part is that I am using the same Gmail account for both the console.nest.google.com and the google home app and on the google home app I can see all my devices but on console.nest.google.com I can't see any of my devices,
now if anyone can help me in any matter like getting my nest camera on hikvision only for the live feed, I would be really great full!

I'm pretty sure Google cut off all connections of the cameras to other systems a few years back for security reasons. You can open a support ticket and and ask this question to an actual Google tech person here at this link:

Then why is there nest console site still open? And why do they charge $5 to sign up if it's closed already?

Good question, I don't know. Maybe try opening a support ticket and speaking to an actual google tech person. Here is the link. Once you answer the questions you will be given the chance to chat or phone call.
