Cannot Reconnect After Charging

iClick — Sat, 01 Oct 2022 21:11:12 GMT

I had my outdoor battery camera setup and working fine. It needed a recharging but after the recharge it would not connect. I deleted it from the app and tried to re-enter it but I feel like I'm going around in circles now. I need help to get this working again.

That is great news. If possible can you fill in a few details about what they had you do to fix it? Or was it something that had to do at their end. Also, Please click the ACCEPT AS SOLUTION button so this can get closed out.

Hey EmptyNester,

Absolutely, I appreciate you asking. When pairing the Nest Camera (battery) to the Google Home app, the first thing users should check is the status light of the camera. When the light is either solid white or green chances are it won’t pair to their home WiFi network because it still has the old WiFi settings in it. Performing a factory reset is needed to wipe out its old WiFi settings. After the reset, the light pulses blue, it means the camera is ready to be connected to the app.

Have a look at this guide: Set up and connect Nest camera.

I hope that helps.

Best,
