Once I get to the set up point where it is supposed to populate the last four of the serial number, nothing ever pops up. Tried setting up with multiple phones and computers and have the same issue. Any help??

These are the two screens I get stuck at when trying on the nest app and google home app

Hello, Thanks for posting the screenshots.
So when you click the SHOW ME HOW option on the first screen shot does it help with anything?
As for the 2nd screen shot here is what I think is going on: For some reason NEST products like to 'chat' with each other during set up as a way of passing on the WIFI information for your setup (why they do it this way I don't know). So if you have another nest product in your house (like thermostat or Smoke detector or other camera). However this all works over Bluetooth. Make sure Bluetooth is enabled on your phone and then move the phone and the new camera to within something like 6-10 feet of the already existing device. This way the process should be able to proceed. I have run into this before and by doing this it always seems to work. In the case of the Nest Smoke Detector I seem to remember it says to hit the button on the smoke detector ONCE to wake it up as Smoke detectors don't stay connected to WIFI all the time (by design).
Let me know if this helps and/or works.
