After pressing the reset button, release it and then power on your Google Nest Camera. This can be done by plugging it back into the power source or by turning on the camera’s power switch.
Step 4: Set Up the Camera Again
Once your camera is powered on, you’ll need to set it up again. Open the Google Home app on your smartphone or tablet and follow the on-screen instructions to set up your Google Nest Camera. This may include connecting to your Wi-Fi network, signing in to your Google account, and naming your camera.
Step 5: Confirm the Reset
After the camera has been set up successfully, you can confirm that the reset process was successful by checking the camera’s status in the Google Home app. You should see your camera listed with its new name and all the latest settings applied.
