Transfer ownership of Household with cameras

[Macjimbo]

I have 3 Nest cameras and a Nest doorbell, originally in a Nest account and migrated to Google Home. 3 other family members have access to the household. 

I need to transfer ownership of the household to one of the other family members, and I can’t see any way of doing it without factory resetting each device and adding them all to a new account. This is hard because the cameras are all mounted at roof level and there’s no easy way of getting physical access to them. 

All other family members are admins but I am the owner. I want one of those admins to become the owner of the household, and remove myself. 

Can this be done?

Thank you.

Hi @Macjimbo 

There is no way to do that unfortunately. To "transfer ownership" of a device, you need to factory reset it and then set it up with the new owner's account.

Restart or factory reset Nest camera or doorbell - Google Nest Help

What I would recommend is taking a photo of the QR code on the camera or noting down the setup code so you have those saved if you need to use them again in the future.
