Nest cam, will not connect to network

Juliasusanne

I got a Nest cam as a Christmas present and connected the camera to my mother-in-law's nettwork. When I got home, I wanted to set up the camera at home. I deleted the camera in the Home app (stupid) and wanted to add the device again. The problem is that the app does not find the device. The camera is not connected to the same network as my phone. In the app, it says that the camera must be connected to the same network as the mobile phone, but it dosent say how. Can someone help me?

The camera will now be trying to connect to your mother-in-law's Wifi network. 

The first thing you need to do is factory reset the camera:
Restart or factory reset Nest camera or doorbell - Google Nest Help

Once it's reset, you'll be able to set it up with your Wifi network and add it to your app:
Set up and connect Nest camera - Google Nest Help
