Add new cameras and doorbell

[Alexey]

Hey Guys, I want to update you how I add a few new cameras. Month ago I bought 4 outdoor battery cameras and got big issue to set them up. I set up 1st camera but cannot set second one. Finally I deleted 1st camera install second, deleted second install 3rd, then deleted 3rd and install last one. Then I was able to add all my 4 Nest cameras back. Now I added one doorbell and 3 more cameras. Doorbell installation was no problem same as another two cameras, just added them. last camera gives same problem. I realized that last camera I installed has green light and not blue one how it should be. I had to remove camera from house, reset it via button on the back side (hold 5 seconds). Then Blue light came out so I was able to set up last one. This time it took me much less time than first time. I have 3 more cameras to install in near future, let's see what happens.
