@Jack12

According to the Google Nest Help page for camera lights, a slow blinking yellow light means "The power adapter plugged into your camera has incorrect wattage."

Hi Jack12,

Thanks for posting here in the community and I understand what you mean when you say that your Nest camera has a blinking yellow slowly. Bear in mind that some third-party power adapters might not be compatible with your camera. Your camera needs a 7.5 W USB-A power cable to stay powered and work properly. Hit this link for more information. If you have other questions and concerns, feel free to let me know.

I appreciate the help, MplsCustomer.

Best,
Emerson

@EmersonB

The power cable on the new Nest Cam Indoor should be a 7.5 W USB-A power cable, as you say, so why is this customer getting a slow blinking yellow light?
