Can you configure the hours that the camera is on? I’d only want this to be active at night and not on during the daytime. Recording daytime events would just drain the battery and not be useful for me. null

No. But with the Home app, you can manually turn your camera on or off anytime so that you’re always in control of when it streams and records video. Please see this link for more details: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/9247651

Our team is working on bringing full functionality to the Google Home app so you can have full control in the Home app.

Nope, the camera is quite lacking in features around specific on/off times, or even notification schedules. I'd say it's badly lacking in this regard, compared to competitor products

Yes you can. I currently have my indoor camera set to turn on at midnight and stay on until 7am. The same would work for these cameras. You just use your Google Home App or Nest app to set that up. Pretty simple to do and you'll love it.
