Camera won’t connect

teresarhew — Tue, 09 May 2023 12:02:44 GMT

I reset my Google hub to a new device. I connected one outdoor camera with no issue. I’ve tried to connect my second camera…. Which was previously connected and worked, and it will not connect. I’ve re-booted my hub, reset my router, moved closer to the router (few feet away) and nothing works. I also cannot set up the camera on my hub display. This worked yesterday but was listed under a different “home”. I’m changing it due to a divorce and moving. Please help.

Best wishes in your transition. I'm not sure what you mean by "reset my Google hub to a new device". If you are changing to a new router/modem or changing to a new Google Nest "home/structure", the general process is to remove your devices from the Google Nest app or Google Home app while on the old Wi-Fi and do a factory reset.

I did a factory reset on the device. After the reset, I had two battery cameras to connect. I connected one without any issues. I cannot get the second camera to connect. It goes through the process and says something went wrong, try again. I have rebooted my hub, my router and neither worked. My internet is working great. Any thoughts or suggestions?

Perhaps you should consider contacting Support (https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp).

I'm not following what has happened in your case. If you did a factory reset on your Google Hub and reinstalled it in the same Google Nest "home/structure", you shouldn't have had to do anything at all to your battery cameras.
