According to your post, you have a Google Nest Outdoor Camera with the Google Nest app. This camera does not have a factory reset button; you can only do a factory reset by removing it from the Google Nest app while still connected to your old Wi-Fi network (https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/9252162?hl=en&sjid=3640628821169526684-NC#zippy=%2Cnest-cam-indoor-and-outdoor) and then reinstalling it.
On some older 1st gen cameras, you can go into the Google Nest app while still on your old Wi-Fi network and update the Wi-Fi setting for the camera (https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/9223711?hl=en&sjid=3640628821169526684-NC#zippy=%2Cuse-...).
If you were not able to do that, then you may need to wait up to 60 days for your Nest Aware subscription to expire (https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/9249728).
Since it's not easy to update Wi-Fi settings for Google Nest's cameras and doorbells, their first recommendation is to set the network name (SSID) and password on your new Wi-Fi router/modem to the same values used on your old router/modem (https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/9223711).
