I lost my QR CODE for the webcam. Recently i change my internet provider and had to setup the Nest Cam to my Google Home App/Nest App

 

i tried so many ways from entering the 6 digit code to connecting Nest Cam to my Macbook. Nothing is working for me.

 

Any kind souls please help me with this issue

1. There is a 6 digit/letter code written underneath your nest cam (battery). Write that down

 

2. use a tooth pick to press the mini button behind the cam. Hold this for 15 - 20 seconds until you see an orange light and some funny noises coming out from the cam

 

3. download the google home app and click the top left ‘add a device’

 

4. Instead of scan QR CODE, hit the ‘no QR CODE’ use the 6 digit/letter pin instead.

 

5. try this a few times because the product just suck and it took me 3-5 tries on each nest cam to make it work 

 

6. The battery life is really short, i turned off every special function like mic and all but it only last less than a week. So make sure to put it somewhere low so u can keep charging the batteries

I don't believe you can do anything without the QR code. I think the intent was that no one can use it if stolen. Unfortunately I think you have an expensive paperweight now.

I also know from experience if you have a nest subscription that it can't be transferred and there is no way to get a refund.
