"Try moving closer to your Nest Cam" - Unable to install Nest Cam

I love Google Nest Cams. This would always be my favourite for security cameras for the home. However, I recently moved from the UK to Canada. The ones I used in the UK came with me to Canada. And, since last week, I am in the new place of accomodation. And I tried many times to install my Nest Cams.  I keep getting a message that says "Try moving closer to the Nest Cam." Please see the screenshot.

 What can I do to solve this problem? I have two of these devices. NestCam Google won't work.jpg

Hi there!

 

Thanks for posting here in the community. I appreciate you choosing our products, especially the Nest Cam (indoor, wired) devices. I understand how inconvenient it is that since moving from the UK to Canada, last week you've been trying to install your two cameras many times and are seeing a "Try moving closer to your Nest Cam" error. I'm happy to help!

To better understand the situation, I'd like to ask a few questions:

  • What's the status LED light on your cameras?
  • How far are the cameras from the router?
  • Can the cameras find other Wi-Fi networks?
  • What Wi-Fi frequency band do you try to connect to (2.4 GHz or 5 GHz)?

In the meantime, let's check a few tips:

Keep me posted.

 

Regards,

Melany
