Nest Camera Support

If you find that your smart camera is not recording, you are not alone. One of the most common queries among users actually is, “Why is my Google Camera not recording?” The culprit behind this is often the outdated firmware they have or some connection issues.

One of the first points to troubleshoot is updating the Nest camera firmware. Firmware updates usually contain bug fixes and performance improvement features that rectify recording problems. To check for updates, head to your settings within your Nest app and ensure your camera is connected to a stable Wi-Fi network.

If this does not help, Factory Reset Nest Outdoor Camera. A reset usually wipes out the internal glitches and restores the default settings that may have been corrupted. This is especially true and tested if the camera was working, but all of a sudden stopped recording.

External storage settings should also be considered. If you are using your cloud storage, make sure that your subscription is active and that you have enough free space. Check activity zones as well. In many instances, cameras are configured to record only in designated zones.

Finally, be sure to enable motion detection settings. If your camera is not set to detect motion or sound, it will not trigger recording.

By taking these actions, you’re bound to solve the problem of your Google camera not recording, thus restoring your normal peace of mind with your smart home security.
