Connecting Your Google Nest Cam to Wi-Fi

Connecting Your Google Nest Cam to Wi-Fi

Let's walk through how to connect your Google Nest Cam to Wi-Fi! 



To connect your Google Nest Cam to Wi-Fi, follow these simple steps. Make sure you have your smartphone handy, as you will need to use it to set up the camera.

Let's get started!

Step 1: Download the App
First, you need to download the Google Home app on your smartphone. This app is essential for setting up your Nest Cam.
  1. For iPhone users, go to the App Store.
  2. For Android users, go to the Google Play Store.
Once you find the app, tap Download and wait for it to install.



Step 2: Open the App and Sign In
After the app is installed, open it. If you already have a Google account, sign in using your email and password. If you don’t have an account, you can create one directly in the app.

Step 3: Prepare Your Nest Cam
Before we continue, ensure your Nest Cam is plugged into a power source. You should see a light indicator on the camera. Wait until the light turns a steady blue or green, which means it’s ready for setup.


Step 4: Add Your Camera
  1. Once you’ve opened the Nest app, you'll want to tap the “+” button to add a new device.
    This little "+" button will help you add your camera.
  2. Select "Set up device."
  3. Look for your Nest Cam in the list of devices. If you don't see it, tap "Have something already set up?" and search for "Nest."


Step 5: Scan the QR Code
Now, this step might sound fancy, but it’s really easy! Your Nest Cam has a QR code on the back (it looks like a small square filled with black-and-white dots). Simply point your phone’s camera at the QR code to scan it.
If you don't have a QR code (which is sometimes on the camera), tap on "Continue without scanning." You will need to enter the 6-digit setup code found on the camera itself, usually near the charging port.


Step 6: Choose Your Wi-Fi
Next, the app will ask you to choose your Wi-Fi network from a list. Tap BOATER WIFI and enter wireless for the password.
**If you have your own custom Wi-Fi name, please use the password to that instead! 


Step 7: Wait for the Connection
Once you’ve entered the correct Wi-Fi details, the app will connect your camera. This might take a few minutes, so be patient. If everything goes smoothly, you'll see a confirmation that your camera is now connected to Wi-Fi!

Once done, you can access your camera's live feed and adjust any settings you wish.

Troubleshooting Tips
If you encounter any issues during the setup, here are a few things to check:
  1. Ensure your smartphone is connected to the same Wi-Fi network you want your Nest Cam to connect to.
  2. Make sure your camera is within range of the Wi-Fi.
  3. Restart your camera by unplugging it for 30 seconds and plugging it back in.
By following these steps, you should be able to connect your Google Nest Cam to Wi-Fi successfully! If you have any questions or need further assistance, feel free to ask.
