Nest floodlight camera - lights not working

Hi! 
We had the floodlight camera installed yesterday. Right away I was able to connect the camera to the app. But the light I believe said offline (or something similar) and I was not able to turn it on in the app or with motion. At the same time the camera would constantly go to idle and the battery percentage was at 42%. A while later when I checked again it was at 39%. I decided to remove the camera from the app to reconnect it. Of course now I can’t get the app to recognize the device at all. When I push the reset button on the camera nothing happens. No little white indicator light or anything. Is it possible that it was working on back up battery before and that it is not getting power? Would the lights work even if the device was not connected to an app? Thank you!

Hey there,

 

I am terribly sorry to hear that you're having this issue! I would love to assist you with this issue. If you are having issues with your Nest Cam or Nest Doorbell, I would suggest that you first start by restarting it. 

 

Restart: Keeps all your settings, and it should reconnect to the same Wi-Fi network. This is helpful if it ever becomes frozen, has trouble reconnecting to the internet, or isn't working normally.

 

Best regards,

Brad

Hi! 

Thank you so much for your help. It ended up being an error on the electrician's part. The camera/light was not connected to the power. Once the battery ran out it was dead. He came back out and fixed it the next day and now we are good to go! Thank you again.
