Nest Cameras / Doorbell Issue

[BigTimmy]

Hi all,

I have recently bought a NEST doorbell camera. It's set up near my router however when someone comes to the door it takes a while (about 2 minutes) to alert me and this obviously can result in the person leaving by the time I get the alert.

Any advice on to make it instant?

Buy a MX5.

Failing that try asking the mods to move this to the correct sub forum (Homes, Gardens and DIY)

How are any other devices you have when operated around the nest camera. I.e if your phone has poor WiFi connection (this can be checked using an app) then the best probably does too.

If your phone is good then it appears to be an issue with your Nest (I can’t advise on nest as I don’t have one personally) my friends is pretty much instant.


Also it might be worth checking what channel your router is on and if it’s a busy channel in your area. Maybe another WiFi router is using the same channel causing interference and slowing it down. 2 minutes is clearly far too long. Are there any sensitivity settings for the camera.

I have the blink xt security camera system and you can adjust the sensitivity of the camera. Can you alter the sensitivity of the nest
