How do I remotely restart a camera?

Raydoc — Wed, 19 Oct 2022 16:25:41 GMT

I have an original Nest outdoor camera at my parents house, far from me. It has disconnected. They tell me it has power and a pulsing blue light. The wifi is up at their house. Can I reset this and reconnect remotely? I have a photo of the QR code and numbers on the bottom of the camera. They are 7 hours away.

@Raydoc

When we have a power outage, one or two of our Google Nest Outdoor Cameras go offline, and we have to unplug them for a minute and then plug them back in to get them to come back online. Other customers in this forum have reported the same thing.

If this doesn't work, I don't know whether you can go to the "home" for your parents' house in your Google Nest app and reinstall the camera, using the 6-character Setup Code, since you'll be on a different Wi-Fi network when you do so.

Hey folks,

Raydoc, were you able to try restarting your camera by unplugging them for a minute? About setting it up, your phone needs to be nearby the camera and connected to the same Wi-Fi network.

Check out this link for additional help.

I appreciate the help, MplsCustomer.

Thanks,

Archie
