Nest Camera Streaming - Baby

JasonKnight
Community Member

Hey all, using a 2nd gen Nest Indoor Camera to stream to our 1st gen Nest Hub and the stream times out multiple times throughout the night. 

Very frustrating. Verified that both devices on same network, Router reset, all that jazz.

 

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi JasonKnight,

 

Thanks for reaching out.

 

Could you please clarify if you are referring to streaming to your Google Nest Hub? If so, do you have a Nest Aware subscription?

 

I'd love to know more so we can start some steps that might resolve this. Keep me posted.

Hi Jason,

 

Thanks for responding. 

 

I believe you already migrated your Nest account, is that right? If so, let's make sure that all the steps here are done:

 

Note: If you’ve set up a Nest camera or doorbell, it should already be added to the Google Home app. If you can’t find it in the app, force close the app and open it again. If you still can’t find the camera, follow the steps below.

  1. Open the Google Home app Google Home app.
  2. Verify that the Google Account shown is the one linked to your speaker or display. To switch accounts, tap another account or Add another account.
  3. Verify that the home listed is the one you want to pair your security camera to. To switch between homes, click the triangle to the right of the home name.
  4. At the top left, tap Add Set up device plus Works with Google.
  5. Choose your camera manufacturer from the list to finish the setup process.

Let me know if this works for you.

 

Best,

Princess

Yes, confirmed that the Nest Hub is connected to my account and all nNest cameras are accessible from the Google Home app.

Hi Jason,

 

Thanks for responding.

 

When you try these commands, what happened?

 

OK Google,

  • Show [camera name]"
  • "What’s on [camera name]?"
  • "[Camera name] on [Nest display name]"
  • "Play [camera name] on [Nest display name]"
  • "Show [camera name] on [Nest display name]"

Let's make sure that the Nest devices and speaker are in the same Wi-Fi network and also within a good range from each other.

 

Best,

Princess
