9. Factory reset your camera>

  

If your camera still doesn’t come back online after following the above steps, 

factory reset your 

camera

. 

Important:

 If you have a Nest Aware subscription, make sure to 

save any clips

 before 

performing a factory reset. 

Your camera is offline and doesn’t appear to reconnect>

  

1. Check that your camera is plugged in and getting power>

  

You’ll get an alert and an email if your camera is without power for more than 10 minutes, but 
you may not get an alert if power is cutting out intermittently for less than 10 minutes. Try 
plugging your camera into a different outlet if possible and see if it comes back online. 

2. Check if your camera feels really warm or cold>

  

If it’s really hot or cold (below or above your camera’s 

operating temperatures

), your camera 

may turn off Wi-Fi to help protect itself. 

 

If your outdoor or indoor camera feels unusually warm, unplug your camera and let it cool 
down. Plug it back in and see if it comes back online.  

Note: 

If your indoor camera is getting too warm, make sure it’s not in direct sunlight, above a 

fireplace, around a vent, or near another heat source. If it is, you might need to move it to another 
location to resolve the issue. 

3. Move your camera>

  

If your offline camera isn’t permanently mounted, moving it a little bit can make a big 
difference. Your camera may be slightly out of range and can become disconnected due to 
wireless interference from large furniture and appliances, walls and floors, and other electronics. 

 

Try moving it a foot or two away from its original location, wait a few minutes, and check your 
camera’s live stream in the app.
