How to Set Up Outdoor Camera without QR Code

jamarchist — Fri, 31 Dec 2021 18:33:18 GMT

I recently purchased a house. The previous owners left a Nest Outdoor Camera. Unfortunately, they *also* painted over the QR Code and the six digit code. I removed the paint with acetone, but this also removed the print of the codes. Is there some way to recover this information from the device itself (via USB perhaps) or to set it up without the code?

I was able to plug the camera into a PC and run the setup program (for Windows in my case), which allowed me to connect the camera to my WiFi and add my device to the Nest app.
