Hotspot inquiry

Hi, this is concerning two wired second generation cameras. Where can set up be done  and how can stream be continuous without the source connection hotspot, ie an iPhone and it's mobile data near the devices at all time?

Hello @Nestuser0306 

 

Thanks for reaching out to our Nest Community. Welcome! I'm here to help you with the connection on your Google Camera.


To answer your concern, basically you can connect this camera in the setup process to the network created by your mobile hotspot; however, this is not entirely recommended since this type of signal may present failures in the connection or fluidity of the device.

To find the information about the setup process for our cameras, you can enter on this page: Set up and connect Nest camera.

 

Feel free to keep us posting if you have more questions. We're here to find a solution for you.

Best Regards,

 

Douglas.

Thank you for the follow up. Must the camera be connected through the device that has the source connection from which the hotspot is?

Hello @Nestuser0306 

 

Thanks for your reply. 

 

To answer your questions, these cameras need to have the WiFi connection stable to work. So the camera must be connected through the device with the hotspot active. 

 

I hope this information works with your situation; in case you have more questions, let me know. 

 

Best Regards,

 

Douglas.
