nest camera compatibility with surface pro

[LittleCreek]

I have a new outdoor cam.   We set it up on my wife's ipad and we see it fine on her device.  However, I have a surface pro and am unable to view the camera.  I downloaded Bluestacks but cannot find google home on it  Is there a fix for this problem?

Unfortunately, Google Nest chose not to make its new cameras and doorbells work with the existing home.nest.com website, but only in the Google Home app.

Some customers have posted here installing and using BlueStacks and then downloading an Android version of the Google Home app on their PC or Mac. I haven't done it and can't offer any advice on it, but here is BlueStack's page on the subject: https://www.bluestacks.com/apps/lifestyle/google-home-on-pc.html

I did find an app (NOX) that does allow me to access the camera.  It is slow but does an adequate job.  You do have to load the 9th version for the app to work.   Thanks
