Can it be local non internet wifi? For around house null

No, it has to talk to the Nest servers.

No, It works by connecting to nest servers, what you are looking for is a local IP camera with a local sever or DVR. Usually you can find these on amazon or at costco occasionally

You must have internet service for camera to be active. It will not work on a closed LAN network with out getting out to Internet first.

The camera doesn't support any configuration whereby it isn't streaming video to Google. You don't ever really connect directly to the camera.

Unfortunately no. NestCams require access to the Internet to work. They are not an on-site camera and NVR system. All recording goes to the cloud servers and your access to the recorded video is in the cloud.

Each Camera needs to be linked to the NEST Account and App by linking or paring the device via USB to the Computer. Well thought out proprietary model and revenue protection.

Yes, the security camera can be used without WiFi.
