Nest Outdoor wired Camera

[TomTaylor2022]

Hi,

I have a nest camera outside the front of my house and my neighbour has complained about it.   

I have spoken to the local council and police and I am not breaking any rules in my local area.

The funny bit about it all is that the camera is turned on so the green light is on but I dont have it connected to any device or wifi router in my house.   

I want to know if it is still recording or does it require a device to have the information sent to.

I dont have a subscription to Nest I do have a login but turned it off not long after i got it as I was looking for a camera that I could store information locally and just never replaced it.

It is more of a deterance as my mother inlaw parks her car out the front of the property and their have been instance in the area of car breakins.

I want to let me neighbour know that their is no issue and that it isnt connected but want the information to back it up.

Please help

If the green LED light on your Google Nest Outdoor Camera is solid green, then it is connected to your Wi-Fi network and it is streaming video (https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/9268073?hl=en#zippy=%2Cgoogle-nest-cam-indoor-and-outdo...).

If you do NOT have a Nest Aware or Nest Aware Plus subscription, then Google Nest is only capturing "3 hours of photo snapshots of activity" (https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/9681538). I believe that means photo snapshots of activity during the most recent 3 hours that can be viewed in the Google Nest app. (We have a Nest Aware Plus subscription, so I can't verify that.)

If the green LED light on your Google Nest Outdoor Camera is pulsing green, then someone in your Google Nest "home" is watching the camera's live stream.

Hello TomTaylor2022,
 

I understand the trouble that you have right now. The Nest Camera should be set up first to the Nest App or Google Home App to work. It can be set up with or without the Nest Aware subscription. When the Nest camera has a solid green light, it means everything is working normally. And yes, it requires a device to have the information sent to.

Let me know if you have any questions.
 

Best,

Emerson
