Nest Outdoor Camera stopped working

Rapkoch

My Nest Outdoor camera stopped working after being absolutely fine. There appears to be no power to the camera (no blue light and no red light). I have tried the cable and power supply from another working camera with no success. I know the wifi works as several other devices are working just fine. I believe this is within two years of purchase. How do I reset it or turn it in for a new one?

I would like help with this problem. I searched for this issue. I have 4 different Nest Cams.  They all lost connection on the 17th, after noon and only two of them ever came back on. The two non functioning cams won’t turn on when unplugged and plugged back in. There is no light on the front to show they are on.  What gives?

Yes. I had to buy a new one but would like to get this one working.

Did you experience a power outage? Anything where the cameras may have lost power?

 

Best regards,

Brad.

No. I did not lose power (I also have battery backup) and the router or modem was not turned off. My nest cam and other nest devices (therm, lock, smoke/CO2) periodically lose connection with WiFi network.  I also have a mesh router network; covers whole house. I unplugged both cameras for a day and nothing happens when I turn them back on.

We have a large property, house, shed, barn, horses, on 20 acres.  We have 14 cameras.  All working fine, no problems.  Then, one camera just stopped.  It was on direct power, but the battery "ran out".  We tested that power cord with another camera, the cord is functioning. We have brought it in the house to charge it.  It will not charge.  No lights come on when plugged in.  Nothing.

How long have you had the camera? Is it old?  Is this part of plan obsolescence and the fail at 18+ months?

So that’s it, huh? Google support team ask questions that are the equivalent of the installation guide and there is nothing else they can do? Why did we pay more for the brand if the products don’t last?

Hey folks.

 

I see that this issue has progressed further. It sounds like you may have a malfunctioning camera. I would reach out to support to process a replacement if you are within your warranty date.
