Troubleshooting Guide
After it stops functioning, turn your Nest security camera back on to guard your house. Here are a few typical issues and their speedy solutions.
Why is my Nest security camera not connecting to Wi-Fi?
If the camera cannot connect to the Nest app because of a malfunctioning Wi-Fi network or wireless interference, a spinning blue circle will appear in the app. Move your camera as close as you can to the wireless router. If this doesn’t resolve the issue, perform a factory reset.
Assuming the issue still exists after resetting the camera, if your camera is still covered by warranty you may need to get in touch with Google Nest support for a replacement.
How does the Nest indoor security camera Reset?
Since older Nest cameras (Nest Cam Indoor, Nest Cam Outdoor, and Dropcam) lack physical reset buttons, you can only reset them by deleting them from your Nest account in the Nest app.
On these models, there are reset buttons:
Hello video doorbell from Nest (back of unit)
Indoor Nest Camera IQ (back of unit)
Outer Nest Cam IQ (front of unit)
Use a paperclip to press the reset button until the light ring begins spinning blue while keeping the camera powered. Disconnect the app’s camera.
How do I know when my security camera is not recording?
Although Nest Cams are constantly looking for activity, it can be difficult to identify when they are actually recording because it varies on the model and subscription package. However, if the green LED on the camera is flashing, you can know whether someone is viewing the live feed of a Nest Cam.
Review
A microphone and a status LED are located on the front of the Nest indoor security camera. A speaker and a hardwired, 10-foot USB power line are located around the rear. The camera uses HDR (High Dynamic Range) technology to give increased colors and contrast while recording 1080p video at 30 frames per second. It boasts a 16:9 aspect ratio, a 6X digital zoom, a 135-degree (diagonal) field of view, and two infrared LEDs for night vision. You may connect the camera to your home network using either the 2.4GHz or 5GHz band thanks to the built-in dual-band Wi-Fi radio. Overall it is best and good to use the camera for your smart home. Go for it.
