How to install Google Nest doorbell battery without QR code

[Jacquijent]

I have used my Google nest doorbell, cam battery for sometime with little trouble but I recently installed a Google mesh Wi-Fi and want to move the doorbell battery to connect to that new network. Unfortunately I seem to have lost the QR code so how can I do this?? I also haven’t found out how to factory reset. The Google nest doorbell battery to factory settings..

We don't have the battery doorbell, but there should be a 6-character alphanumeric Setup Code printed either above or below the QR code on your doorbell. When installing, you should be able to select "Continue without scanning" in order to get the option to enter the Setup Code. (We've written down the Setup Codes for all of our cameras and doorbells so that we have them in the event a reinstall is needed.)

You can find restart and factory reset instructions here:

As a side note I wish going forward Google would adopt how other security cams are doing this.  Rather than having a QR code on the device or the box that inevitably gets lost,  the Apps puts up a QR code on the phone and you point the security camera at the QR code and the app is able to figure it out from there.

I had the same issue. What worked for me to maintain the original Nest front door ring cam:

Set up the new network with the identical SSD (network name), AND the identical password to my original network.

Doing the above, I did not have to redo the Nest set up.
