Google nest Cam has green light not blue light on set up

Mattpaper1983 — Fri, 07 Apr 2023 14:52:27 GMT

I’m trying to set up my nest cam (2nd gen) again after changing my Wi-Fi password. I’ve also deleted the cam from the Google home app. I also scanned the qr code via the app. On turning on the nest cam the light blinks white and then turns green not blue and the app states something is wrong and I can’t continue. I’ve tried turning the cam on and off at the power source. Can anyone suggest a fix?

@Mattpaper1983

Did you also do a factory reset (not just a restart) by pressing the reset button for at least 12 seconds to clear the previous Wi-Fi settings? That's supposed to happen automatically when you remove the camera from the Google Home app, but maybe that didn't happen for some reason.

I can’t find a reset button on the nest cam (2nd gen). On set up I was also unable to connect to Wi-Fi so I tried to use Bluetooth. I read that factory reset on Google nest cam can only be done through Wi-Fi on the app(if I’m not mistaken). Ive deleted the cam though from the app.

@Mattpaper1983

There IS a reset button. You may have to move the camera head around:

"Locate the reset hole on the bottom of the camera head. It’s between the power cord and the camera neck."

I’m happy to be mistaken. Thank you for your help. Did what you suggested and light is now blue.

Hello JT, Thank you for your reply and everyone else’s comments and help. My nest cam is working now. I’m sorry for not getting back sooner to confirm that my nest cam is now working. I have another concern though that i’d like some help with please. After I did a factory reset I was unable to setup the nest cam through the app using only Wi-Fi. I could only connect it if I also had Bluetooth turned on in my iPhone. Could you help with that please?

Hi Mattpaper1983,

You're welcome! We’re glad to know that your camera is already working. The Bluetooth must be on to set up your camera. Without it, it wouldn’t be successful.

I hope that answers your question.

Thanks,
