I want my nest camera to say "you are being recorded

I created a new automation when a person is detected to tell me on  my hub that it detected a person. But I also want the Camera to say you are being recorded. Here is what I have so far.

metadata:
name: Detect Person on the Porch
description: Make an announcement when somebody is detected in the front Porch
automations:
# “starters” and “actions” are required; “conditions” are optional.
# Use Ctrl + Space to see autocomplete suggestions.

# ---- STARTERS ---- #
# Starters describe events that will start the automation.
# To add more than one starter, duplicate the "- type" section under "starters".
# If you add multiple starter events, any one of them happening will start the automation.
starters:
- type: device.event.PersonDetection # A person has been detected by the camera.
device: Porch - Porch

actions:
- type: assistant.command.Broadcast
message: Somebody on the Porch
devices: Office Hub - Office

You can add another "-type" under "actions".

What kind of camera have you ?  It can speak ?

I don't know if it's possible to use "command.Broadcast" with a camera...

I have one of the newer Nest Cameras. I can speak.

Well I do not know if it can really speak on its own. I can dictate into the Google Home app and it will broadcast over the camera. And maybe that is where my limitation is.

Indoor cams have Google Assistant.  : https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/9325189?hl=fr&sjid=17626717714074948941-EU

But outdoor no...

So I think it's not possible to broadcast.

What outdoor camera Google Assistant?
