NestCam with floodlight records but doesnt live stream anymore

NestCam95337 — Wed, 14 May 2025 07:50:15 GMT

I have numerous Nestcams including 2 with floodlights that have worked flawlessly until recently. One of my floodlight cameras quit streating live video recently, though it does show recordings. I have rebooted routers, reset power several times and checked all connections... yet the problems persist. I was hoping to not reset the camera as I dont want to lose all the video clips on it.

Any suggestions for correcting this would be greatly appreciated.

Thankyou,

Similar issue for me, except it was all of my Google Max Displays that were not live streaming on the google home web. All were streaming fine on android app.

Weird thing is, in the google home (for web), I turned off the the flood light camera, refreshed the page, and then 2 of 3 of my google max displays started live streaming again. Even after turning the floor light camera back on, the 2 max displays continue to live stream. Can't get the third google max display to kick in though, even after rebooting. Same thing after clearing cookies, and using different browser.

Since I couldnt wait on a solution, I made the decision to remove reset and add the camera back to my home account. I did lose my video for last 60 days but works like a charm again. Would be nice to have a solution in the future that doesnt involve a factory reset

Resetting and removing/adding back the camera seems like a lot of work. Hopefully it's a permanent fix.

Today I'm back to none of my 3 google max displays will live stream on the google home website. And the trick I used yesterday turning another camera off and back on, doesn't work today. But all cameras still live streaming on the google home android app.

Geeze.... Just took a peak again, and all cameras, including the 3 misbehaving google max displays, are now all livestreaming again on the google home website (home.google.com).

Weird, like you the video history was working fine, just not the live stream.

Hopefully they stay working 🙂
