After trying every possible troubleshooting method? It might well be time to factory reset Nest Outdoor Camera if it is not working. This erases all the current settings so that you may set it up all over again.
Initiate by holding down the reset button until the light starts blinking and changes colors. This is an indication that the device is erasing any stored data from before. When done, the camera reboots, and you may begin the new setup via the app.
This reset comes in really handy when the camera refuses to join the Wi-Fi network, doesn’t show any video, or appears not to respond to any commands. It may sound like overkill for this issue, but in reality, it might just be the fastest way to get it working.
Before performing a reset, unplug and plug in the power again, reboot your router, and check for app updates. If these usual things don’t work, then a factory reset would probably be the logical step.
Re-pair the device in the app and set motion zones and alerts again after a reset. The process would surely be a little time-consuming, but it will give you a fresh start with your camera system.
Don’t allow an inoperable camera to jeopardize your safety; that’s where resetting comes in as a stellar tool for recovery and performance restoration.
