Reviving Nest Outdoor Cam

Installed our Nest Outdoor cams about 4 years ago, internet was kinda spotty. We finally got much better internet a few months ago but in the mean time I removed the cams from the Nest App.  Overall, our Nest Cams have been sitting dormant for about 2 1/2 years. There were a few times right before our upgraded internet, I noticed both cams had a slow blinking green light...I became concerned and inquired. Was told to double check to make sure they were removed from the app. I had no camera listed on the Nest app, yet the green light would occasionally blink. The past few days, we made some changes to our WiFi and Internet and wondering how to reset these cameras with the new credentials and the existing camera QR codes, fresh start. Is this possible?

Hey JumpnJackFlash,

 

Resetting the Nest Cam Outdoor will erases all your personalized settings, deletes the entire video history, and restores the factory default settings. It won’t automatically reconnect to WI-Fi, and you’ll need to set it up again. Check out this link on how to reset it. 

 

Thanks,
