In our large house there are two WiFi networks connected to one internet service. There are five cameras connected to one network and I wish to add another to the second network. I cannot get this camera to pair and would appreciate help

Your cameras have to be in the same Wi-Fi network as your Google Nest "home/structure". You cannot have two Wi-Fi networks in the same Google Nest "home/structure". You would need to set up a second "home/structure" for the camera on the second Wi-Fi network if you want it to be in a separate Wi-Fi network, and you would not be able to see all of your cameras at the same time.

If you set up a second Google Nest "home/structure", you would need a second Nest Aware subscription for that "home".

We use two wired access points to provide Wi-Fi access throughout our home.

Thanks for that, thought as much! So either extend Wi-Fi or move the camera into range or I guess pick up another google home
