Moving to a new house with your Nest Camera with new wifi

I recently moved and it took me about an hour and a half to figure out how to move my two nest cameras (with battery) to my new apartment. 

Here were the steps I took, and I'm not sure which one solved the issue but here it goes:

I took the cameras off of the magnetic wall hangers (probably doesn't matter)

I reset my phone and reset the google home app and cleared all the data I could from the app, including removing the devices from the previous location.

I set up a new location but did not connect it to the wifi, I have cleared the memory of the wifi networks. 

I did a hard reset on both devices: I pressed the reset button until I heard a chime. This takes many, many seconds. 

The light turns BLUE on the cameras when they are ready to pair. 

I tried turning wifi, my bluetooth and airplane mode on and off. 

Finally, I paired the devices, keeping my phone and the cameras plugged in and close together. 

Something about all these things finally made it work. I think it was the hard reset, with the chime.
