Nest camera without wifi

Can a nest camera be installed in a home that does not have wifi.?  Can it feed off the house next door that already has an account.  Trying to monitor  a dementia patient but house does not have wifi.  My house next door has nest and wifi(5G)?  Help please for options

Google Nest's cameras need good access to Wi-Fi. If you already have Google Nest cameras installed at your home, you could either add it to your Google Nest "home/structure", or you could add it to a new, separate Google Nest "home/structure" on your account (though that would require a separate Nest Aware subscription, if you need that).

anks..But the wifi is in the house next door which has nest..I want to put an additional camera in the house next door and need to know if it will feed off my wifi?

A Google Nest "home/structure" is not a physical home; it's a construct or group in the Google Nest app and/or the Google Home app.  If your physical home has Wi-Fi, and if that Wi-Fi is strong enough to provide a good quality signal inside your neighbor's physical home, then you could do one of the two things I suggested.
