Do this first.

Turn on Nest Cam IQ indoors.

Start by turning on your camera inside your home to get it set up before you take it outside. Plug the end of the power cable with the gray ring into the base of your camera. It will click into place.

Plug the other end into the power adapter. Then plug the adapter into an indoor power outlet close to your Wi-Fi router. Your Nest Cam IQ will turn o,n and its light ring will turn blue.

Connect it to the a.pp

If you’re new to Nest:

• Get the Nest app from the App Store® or Google Play®.
• Open the app and tap “Sign up” to create an account.
• Then tap Add.

If you already have a Nest Account:

• Tap the Settings icon in the top-right corner of the app home screen.
• Then tap “Add product”.

The app will guide you through a few steps. You’ll scan the camera’s QR code, name your camera, and connect it to your Wi-Fi network.

Test your camera’s video streaming outside.

Keep your camera plugged into an outlet and take it outside. Hold it where you’d like to mount it and check to make sure it’s streaming video to the Nest app.

If you don’t see video, the Wi-Fi may not be strong enough there – you’ll need to find a different spot or move your Wi-Fi router.
→ See location tips on the next page.

Plan the cable path

Before you mount your camera, measure the cable along the route where you’ll be installing it. You can disconnect your camera from the cable to make it easier to measure.

If there’s an existing opening, you may be able to run the cable through it to the outside. If not, you can use a ½” bit to drill a hole for the cable. Make sure you know where all the in-wall pipes and electrical wires are before drilling.

Choose a good spot.

Consider the view

Nest Cam IQ has a wide 130-degree field of view and a fully articulating hinge, so you can mount it almost anywhere you want and point it in any direction. Typically, you should install it where it can look over a large area of your property: over the garage or patio, or your back, side, or front doors. You can also use the Nest app to zoom and enhance the view to get it exactly how you want.

Install it just above head height.t

7 to 10 feet above the ground, tilted downward, is best — this is high enough to let you see people’s faces and talk to them with the camera’s speaker and microphone.

Look for a nearby indoor outlet. et

Nest Cam IQ has a 25-foot (7.5 m) outdoor-rated power cable that is designed to be easily routed through or along a wall to an indoor power outlet. Look for an outlet that’s close to where you want to install your camera.

Keep it in range of your router

Make sure to pick a place within range of your network. Thick or insulated walls can greatly reduce Wi-Fi signal strength even if your router is close by. So you should test streaming video with the app before you mount your camera.

Mount your camera.

Install the wall plate.

Use a 3/32″ drill bit to drill pilot holes for the screws.

If the wall is made of a hard material like brick or stucco, you may need to use the included wall anchors to hold the screws. Use a 7/32″ bit for the anchors.

Spread caulk around the edge of the wall plate before installing it to seal it. Leave a small open space at the bottom for water to drain out.

• If you’re installing the camera directly over the cable hole (see illustration), mount the wall plate over the hole and route the cable through the center hole.
• If you’re running the cable along the wall before it goes inside, mount the wall plate where you want and route the cable through the notch in the wall plate.

Attach the camera

• Plug the end of the power cable that has the gray rubber ring into the base of your camera. It will click into place.
• Then push the camera base into the wall plate until it clicks into place.
• Your Nest Cam will turn on and reconnect to Wi-Fi.
• Check your camera’s video feed with the Nest app and adjust the camera angle if needed.

Install the cable

Secure the cable using as many of the included cable clips as you need. For a clean-looking installation, try to route the cable along a ledge or corner. You can also paint the cable and the clips to match your home. Do not paint the camera.
