Hi mwlk,
Thanks for reaching out to the Community. I understand that you want to get the Nest Aware subscription and you want to check third party devices (cameras) that will work with Google,
While using a VPN to mask your location might seem like a solution, there are several factors why it is not recommendable to proceed this way:
- Geo-Restrictions: Google services, including Nest Aware, often have geo-restrictions in place.
- Payment Methods: Your payment method might be linked to your location, and using a VPN could interfere with the payment process.
- Account Verification: Google might require additional verification steps, such as phone number verification, which could be difficult to complete with a VPN.
- Long-Term Issues: Even if you manage to purchase Nest Aware using a VPN, you might encounter problems with subscription management, customer support, and potential account restrictions in the future. Please check the following article to Learn about devices & services available in your region and to know more about the Google Store Sales Terms.
Regarding the third party cameras that you want to use with the Google Home app to show live feed, please check the following resources: Stream your security camera using your Google Nest display and Security and awareness devices. In addition, you can use this guide to Connect third-party smart home devices in the Google Home app.
Let me know if you need further assistance.
Regards,
Mario
