How to setup Nest battery camera without the QR code

[james53]

Hello

I have managed to misplace the QR code for the camera and am trying to setup using the Setup Code on the device. I have followed the advice in this post (e.g. reset the camera) but I keep getting a 'Wrong setup code' error. I have triple checked the code and am certain it is correct, but it just doesn't work. I have tried multiple times with the same result.

Can anybody suggest anything else?

Cheers!
