How To Reset It
Here are a few steps that you can take to help you reset your device:
You will need to use the equipment included in the pack which should be a spoon shaped object which has a loop at the top. This will allow you to remove the device from the wall. You can also use anything in your home that is flat to do this but you will need to do this carefully because you could end up damaging the doorbell.
You will then need to find the reset pin which should be located below the USB area.
You will need to press this button for between 5-10 seconds and the status light should turn white if restarting. However, if you are resetting the device you will need to hold the button in slightly longer for 12 seconds and you should hear a beep when done.

Why Do You Need To Reset The System?
You may need to reset your Nest doorbell if you are having bad problems with connection and the whole system working together.
By resetting the system you are making it like the product you first bought again with no prior information.
All data will be reset and erased when you factory reset your device, so you will need to set it all up again from the beginning if you are looking to do this.
What Do You Also Need To Check?
It is also very important to check that it is not your own wifi system that is the issue with poor connection.
You will be able to tell by using your other devices and checking whether they are working ok on the internet in comparison to the Nest doorbell.
It is also really important to check the power in your router. Sometimes it might just need a system reboot where you simply just turn it off and wait for a short period of time and turn it back on.
You may also want to unplug and cords attached to the router. This type of reboots can take from 1-5 minutes.
You may want to also reboot your doorbell if your network connection is running ok.

Hi, my name is David Jones. My wife and I didn’t have any security protection added to our home, even while we went on holiday abroad. Low and behold - our house was broken into and over $3,000 of belongings were stolen.
Did we have house insurance, you might be asking. No, we did not. So that $3,000 was gone within an instant, and we were left trying to rebuild our once safe space.
I have started Security Camera System Pro to help you find the best information out there on how to get your home protected in the quickest amount of time possible. I hope that I can help you in some way to avoid anyone from going through the same thing that we did.
