What problem is this?  On our iPhones cellular data is always turned on, and our Google Nest Hello Doorbells are always online.

Our doorbell camera was working fine for a while, but recently our camera kept going offline. When trying to reconnect I get an error message that some indicated to turn off Cellular Data on my T-Mobile iPhone- that and a camera reset allows me to connect again.

Hi folks,

 

I appreciate your assistance, MplsCustomer.

 

mniz, I'm sorry to know that and I can understand the importance of being connected to your Nest camera at all times. I want to know if you tried to turn off your cellular data and leave your WiFi connection on? Please try turning off your cellular data to see if it works.

 

Let me know how it goes.

 

Thanks,

JT

I turned Cellular data off, did a factory reset of the doorbell camera, deleted the camera from the app and started from the beginning to scan and add it again. It is good for a couple of days and then goes offline again. Maybe the unit is defective.

Hi mniz

 

Thanks for trying. I can understand the importance of your camera being connected at all times. Let's dig deeper into this — a few questions:

 

  1. How far is the camera from the router?
  2. What's the LED color of the camera?
  3. What Wi-Fi frequency band do you try to connect to (2.4 GHz or 5 GHz)?
  4. Do other devices experience slow internet speeds?
  5. Are there devices or appliances (such as baby monitors, microwaves, cordless phones, etc.) near the camera?

Looking forward to your response.

 

Thanks,

JT

Remember that the camera worked fine for a month or so and it works intermittently now.  

My WIFI is wired in my office and 12 feet from the front door. has 2,4G. Lite is always blue and the chime works. There are no other wireless devices nearby except my lap top which has always been the case. My internet speed is in the 200-300 range and we don't experience this issue with any other device. If our internet is interrupted, all our devices connect as soon as service is restored. So none of these issues seem relevant. After going through this multiple times, my sense is that there is defect in the camera.

Privacy and Security
WPA, WPA2 (TKIP, AES) - (preferred)

Preferred Band

Let me know how it goes.

 

Best,

Hi there,

 

How's it going with your Nest Hello doorbell? Were you able to contact your service provider?

There was nothing wrong with the WI-FI setup.  I have purchased a new Nest Hello and was able to connect on the first try. This clearly proves that the device is defective and I ask that Google honor its warranty.
