Specify wifi network for Nest Cam

-Craig
Community Member

I have a new Nest Cam, how to I specify which wifi network it connects to?

I have looked here:

https://support.google.com/googlenest/thread/81501198/can-i-have-cameras-on-two-different-wifi-netwo...

But this seems to use the Nest App, as the new Nest Cam can only use the Google Home App (not the Nest App), how do I specify which wifi network the new Nest Cam will use?

Hi, -Craig.

Thanks for reaching out with your question. For devices in the Home app, they all do need to be under a single Google account. If devices are assigned to different accounts, they won't be visible within your Home app. In order to split accounts, you would need to have multiple Home accounts and you would be continually signing in and out, and they would not be able to communicate between accounts.

Hopefully that answers your question. If you need anything else, let me know.

Thanks.

Thanks for responding Jeff. The Nest App and Google Home are both using the same Google account, ie a single Google Account.

There is only one 'Google Home' in my system. The issue is I am unable to change the WiFi on the 'Nest Cam' using the 'Google Home' App, like I used to be able to do using the 'Nest App' for the other existing cameras, as per here:

This feature is missing from the Google Home App.
