Subscription Expired & Can’t Renew?

KimaMV

I have Google Nest cameras & they record but every month I get a notice that my “trial” is expiring so I pay a fee to renew. Now it’s not renewing & is only recording an a few hours at a time & not saving any history. Can’t find any link or info to sign up for an ongoing subscription- help?!

It's been 3 years since we went from the 30-day trial to a paid subscription, but maybe this link will help.  If you have more than one Google Nest "home/structure", make sure you buy the subscription for the "home/structure" containing all your cameras.

Hi everyone,

 

@KimaMV thanks for posting here in the community. How's it going with your Nest Aware subscription? Were you able to renew it? Don't forget to apply the subscription to your same home structure in your Nest app or Google Home app and with your same email address.

 

Keep us posted.

 

I appreciate your help, MplsCustomer.

 

Regards,
Emerson

Hi - I got great customer support on the phone and we saw that the cameras were registered under one account but the subscription was being paid for on another. So we removed the cameras from the app with the old address. 

THE NEW PROBLEM now is there are no QR codes or setup #s on either of my cameras & I don’t have the original boxes, so I have no idea how to add my cameras back to the app so they’re currently only functioning as floodlights. 😞

@KimaMV 

If you did not save the sticker with the QR code in your Quick Start Guide as noted in the install video, you should still be able to find the 6-character Setup Code on the bottom of your floodlight camera and as described in the install video:

They did show those #s to me but they’re SO SMALL I had to take a pic to expand. Is this the #? When I put it in the app it says it’s the wrong code.

@KimaMV 

It's 6-characters (numbers and letters) and it's probably under your cable connection.  The clip from the install video exaggerates its size.

Yea I think I’m in over my head at this point. May need professional help. 😓

So I paid $200 to have OnTech come out - the codes are under the casing that I didn’t have the tool for so basically I paid all that $ to have him take that off, find the code abs re-add the cameras to my app. I was appreciative of his help but that was a lot of $ for something that could have been explained remotely. Happy to have my cameras back online tho!

anyone set up schedules for their outside flood lights? For some reason I can’t figure it out.

Hi - as I said before, OnTech did come out (for a hefty fee) and help me get the QR code - cameras are working fine now so I guess I'm all set. Hopefully won't have to do that ever again! Thanks.
