These are Google Nest's instructions for restarting and factory resetting cameras and doorbells. For a factory reset, use the second set of instructions:

The camera has a button on the back. Hold that down for 5 seconds to just reset it, hold it down for 10 to factory reset it. Factory reset will require you to re add the whole thing to your home app

Hey there,


Thank you for bringing up the concern you're experiencing, I would love to look into this further for you. The first troubleshooting step that I'd recommend would be to restart your device. This process should keep all your settings, and reconnect it to the same Wi-Fi network. This is helpful if it ever freezes, has connection problems, or isn't working normally.


Best regards,
Brad
