I have Nest cameras in three homes. All different WIFI.
I have doorbell cameras and outdoor cameras in all homes.
A month ago I migrated all three locations to google home from Nest.
Cameras in all locations frequently go offline. Sometimes they come back on their own. I have cameras offline in each location now, permanently. Ie. I pulled the camera down, reset it and can't get it back on my network. It's dead.
Something changed to the software on the cameras. They either require more power or more bandwidth than before.
One of the locations has Gig ethernet with a WIFI location near the cameras. Camera still goes offline.
Either this get resolved with a software fix to save the cameras that aren't permanently dead or this will cost me thousands per location.
