Plug it into the outlet you want to use and wait for the green light to turn on. Nest Cam will reconnect to your Wi-Fi network automatically. This may take a minute or two.
But not too high. We find 7 to 10 feet above the ground, tilted downward, is best – close enough to see someone’s face and talk with them through the camera. Check the video in the Nest app to make sure Nest Cam is seeing what you want to see. Is a post, plant or porch light blocking the view? It might throw off exposure, focus or Night Vision. If you start noticing glare, adjust the camera so the horizon is out of frame. Make sure to pick a place within range of your network.
10 Tip: If the camera wall plate sticks to the mounting magnet, you can use a screwdriver to help pry them apart. Got a magnetic surface nearby? The mounting magnet may be all you need. Just put it where you’d like the camera to be and move on to the next step. Mount the adapter wall plate with the flat side flush to the wall. When that’s done, snap the power adapter into place. We recommend installing the weatherproof adapter at least 18 inches above the ground in case of flooding or deep snow.
