Live video won’t play on nest doorbell battery

Rich_clarkson99

Hi. 

I have just installed my nest doorbell battery however I can’t get the live feed to work. 
video history and doorbell rings successfully capture video, but whenever I try to watch live or set activity zones the video won’t load with error 

“Live video unavailable. The camera may be unreachable or saving battery “

the camera is about 3 feet from my router and battery at 100%

does anyone have any advice to get it working?

 Thanks

Hi, I'm having the exact same issue. Google Doorbell (battery) on a Google Wi-fi Mesh. Ring works, history too but not live video. Also, when the doorbell rings live audio doesn't work (as in to send auto messages or speak to person).

Exact same probleem here. Is there already a solution? I’m using the google home app on an iPhone 11.

Hey folks,

 

Restarting and factory resetting your Google Nest camera or doorbell will have different results:

 

Restart: Keeps all your settings, and it should reconnect to the same Wi-Fi network. This is helpful if it ever becomes frozen, has trouble reconnecting to the internet, or isn't working normally.

 

Factory reset: Erases all your settings and options, and restores its factory default settings. It will not automatically reconnect to Wi-Fi and you'll need to set it up again.

 

You can find this information, plus additional information on this process here. Please let me know if you have further questions.

Best Regards,

Brad.
