I LOVE YOU!!!!! OMG IT WORKED! I have literally read sooo many different tips about this problem and nothing worked. I factory reset (12 seconds till yellow light) my camera; turned airplane mode on and off; made sure I was plugging in the camera ONLY when instructed to; uninstalled and reinstalled the Google Home App. NOTHING worked. I was using my Nest Thermostat as the "assisting device" which worked for my other 3 cameras, but it would not work for this one. So, I took one of my other cameras, plugged it in and used IT as the assisting device and it finally connected! My 4th camera must have been lonely and just wanted to be by his friend. THANK YOU for the great tip!

Best tip ever that the order of the camera set up is important. I had to reset my cameras to factory default but the memory of which camera had been installed first was still programmed in somehow. Once I reset & added the cameras back into google home in the order they were originally installed/set up, everything worked perfect! Number the cameras & QR codes so future issues aren't such a pain in the butt!

These things SUCK. I have 5 Google/Nest cams going all the way back to a drop cam pro. Get ready to have to seriously troubleshoot these EVERY TIME you lose power, or change your wifi password, or touch your network (like upgrading your modem). I currently have 3/5 not working all because I rebooted my modem! Google keeps telling me “your wifi router isn’t connected to the internet”. Ridiculous… I have 37 devices actively connected - all of which never hiccuped when I rebooted - only Nest Cams!

This worked properly just the way you said. Wish I had watched your video before I spent three fruitless hours with the senior tech staff at GoogleNest Support. What is wrong with those people? Don't they have access to youtube? I sent Google support an email reply with the link to your video and a summary of the steps. Hopefully, this will allow them to assist their customers better. Thanks again

I have 10 of the gen 1 nest cameras and love them. I bought 1 of these new ones tonight. It wouldn't connect for crap. My solution was different than yours. I tried it 10 times and kept getting a message saying can't connect reset camera. Well after 10 times I threw it across the room and cracked it up. Back to home depot to return it tomorrow

5 seconds is a soft reset. It will keep your network settings. 10 seconds is a factory reset, it will bring the device back to the state it was when you bought it

To anyone struggling with this to no avail, you might want to connect to 2g network instead of 5g. I went through a lot of frustration and unnecessary troubleshooting steps all of which did not work. As soon as I connected to my 2G net work it connected in a split second and worked as smooth as butter. 😅🙄

You don't need 2 charge cables to connect the 2 cameras per box. This is what I did: after trying to add them separately, I deleted my google home app and reinstall it, then I make sure the cameras were reset by pushing the reset button in the back and making sure the light was white, after connecting it the light will change to blue, then you add one camera at the time to your account but once you get to the QR code scanning, I skipped it and manually added the code at the bottom of the camera and once I added the first one and try the same with the second one I had no issues using the same charge cable. But I think the issue is when using the QR Code scanning...well good luck!

This video is false. I install these cameras every single day for a living working for an alarm installation company. You only need one charging cable. Powering up one camera at a time is only to have power while the camera is being installed. Once the camera powers up, click on add new device in the google home app. Choose outdoor camera from list and when prompted, scan qr code and follow on screen prompts. People's biggest mistake when installing these is not selecting the correct email address when setting up their home.

My friend Robert Hard, what your saying is partially true and partially false. Yes for the most part everything should work just like you said but you have to admit that google is working out a lot of “bugs”. This video is not saying that every single camera is defective and I’m 100% sure that you can’t say that every single camera is not defective. I’m glad it’s working for at least one of the 20k people that have viewed this video that are seeking help.
