Have just moved into a new house that has nest security cameras. How can we activate them?

We have just moved into a house that has Nest security cameras wired in. The cameras are high on a wall so difficult to access. Is it possible to use them without climbing up ladders to get Access Numbers?

No I'm afraid. If not already reset, you'll need to physically factory reset them:
Restart or factory reset Nest camera or doorbell - Google Nest Help

Once ready, setup requires the QR code or setup code physically printed on the back of the camera:
Set up and connect Nest camera - Google Nest Help

For Nest Cam (battery), Nest Cam (wired), and Nest Cam with floodlight the QR code will have been located on a sticker on the front of the Nest camera lens. If you don't have that, the setup code is still physically printed on the back of the camera.
