Indooor camera not connecting

[Davee37]

I have two indoor nest cams, both were purchased quite a few years ago. When I moved house i reconnected one and all worked well, i didn't connect the second one. Now i want to connect the second camera i get the message that the camera is connected to another account. Although this model is pre google ie. registered with Nest i have no idea why i cant connect. The status light is blinking blue.

Thanks

Hi @Davee37!

Thanks for reaching out to the community. I am sorry that your indoor camera is not connecting, but no need to worry; help is here. I need to know a few things about your camera in order to provide you with a better resolution.

• What Nest camera model do you have? 
• When did the issue first occur?
• When was the camera installed?

I'll be waiting for your response; any additional details you can provide will be helpful.

Best regards,
Jeremy.

Hi jeremy

The information on the back of the cam is Nest Labs Nest Cam A0005

The issue occurred when i tried to reconnect to a new router some years ago. As it wasn't essential at the time and had a second camera that does work, i didn't bother with it, and now it would be useful to have it reinstalled, it is denying me. The camera is probably 8 years old at a guess....

Thanks

Hi @Davee37!

Thank you for your follow-up. In this case, since your Nest camera is associated with an old account, it is important to continue with a factory reset in order to erase all settings to allow you to add it to a new account. With the following link, you will find the steps to make a factory reset on your Nest camera: Restart or factory reset the Nest camera.

If you have any additional questions, let me know.

Best regards,

Jeremy.

Hi Jeremy,

 Contact the developer for more information.Thanks for the reply, I have attempted the reset after having removed the camera, however I cannot get the camera to connect to the wifi and when I try to go via the computer I get the message that the Nest Cam Setup needs to be updated. The developer of this app needs to update it to work with this version of Mac OS (11/7.10) Contact the developer for more information.

Perhaps this cam is too old to be reinvigorated?!

Thanks
