Nest cameras remote reset solution after losing power?

Anyone know of a way to remotely reset indoor and outdoor wired Nest cameras after losing power? Won't be there for a few weeks to reset in person so if we can't reset remotely, are they useless until we return? There has to be a way to remotely reset, please advise.

Thank you.

Hi Skyler209, 

Unfortunately, it is not possible to reset remotely. Once reset, the cameras will need to be turned on physically as they do not remember the wifi, so you can not find them close to the wifi if you are not present.

 

Sorry about that.

Thank you.....had hoped for a better solution, appreciate your response.

Hi there, 

 

I apologize for my late response and thank you for all of your patience while waiting for a reply. I can definitely understand how frustrating your situation must be, but I wanted to make sure that your issue was addressed. I am afraid that @IgnaTur98 is correct, there is no such remote restart option available. It is all done physically on the device. I apologize if this is an inconvenience, but it is the way the cameras are built. 

 

Please let me know if you need further assistance. 

Best Regards, 

Brad.
