During a Reddit AMA, Google addressed a major user concern for Nest camera owners: support for older Nest cameras in the Google Home app. While the Nest app seems to be phased out, Google is actively bringing Nest cameras over to the Home app. This effort includes the Nest Cam Indoor and Outdoor, with Nest Cam IQ and Nest Hello Video Doorbell planned for future integration.
