Now if I’m not mistaken I know with my dash cam in my car the same thing happens when it sees led lights. So I think your light (if it is led) is interfering with the camera itself.
As what I was reading online, the Nest Camera and the led light is on the same frequency. I’d try replacing with a different LED or even fluorescent bulbs.
Thank you for bringing up the concern you're experiencing, I would love to look into this further for you. The first troubleshooting step that I'd recommend would be to restart your device. This process should keep all your settings, and reconnect it to the same Wi-Fi network. This is helpful if it ever freezes, has connection problems, or isn't working normally.
@plee thanks for posting here in the community. This happens when the refresh frequency of the light source is close to the exposure rate of the camera.
The camera tries to detect and correct this issue, so you can choose to wait for the issue to resolve. You may also try the following steps:
If the light can be dimmed, set the brightness to a different level.
If possible, test a different brand and power level of light.
Adjust the camera field of view away from the light source.
Just one quick final check in here since activity has slowed down. We'll be locking the thread in the next 24 hours, but if you still need help, I would be happy to keep it open. If there's more we can do, just let me know.
