For Nest Doorbell (Wired): Locate the release pin: On the back of the wired doorbell, near the top, there is a small hole. Detach the doorbell: Use a tool (like a paperclip or the Nest Doorbell removal tool) to depress the release pin while gently pulling the doorbell away from the mount. Locate the reset button: For the 2nd generation wired doorbell, the reset button is located above the QR code on the back. Press and hold: Insert and hold the reset tool (paperclip or similar) for 10-12 seconds. Observe the lights: The status light will blink yellow, then turn solid yellow, indicating the reset is in progress. Release the button: Once the light is solid yellow, release the button. Wait for confirmation: The doorbell will chime and the light ring will start slowly pulsing blue, indicating a successful reset.

Hi, Kevin Edwards. Thanks for your question. As long as your Nest camera or doorbell is connected to Wi-Fi and the internet, it should automatically update itself. You don't need to do anything. Nest cameras and doorbells can't be updated manually.

Hey there, J Eh. The event video history of your Nest Doorbell (battery) is deleted on a rolling basis. If you’ve set your camera to record and save specific kinds of events in its video history, your camera will detect and process any important activity that it detects, but will only save footage of events that you’ve enabled to the cloud. To know more about the Nest Doorbell (battery), feel free to contact us on our Google Nest Help page here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp

J Eh, If you have a newer camera like Nest Cam (battery) or Nest Doorbell (battery), you can get up to 3 hours of event video history without a subscription. But for most older Nest camera and doorbell models, you need a Nest Aware subscription to get event video history or 24/7 video history. https://www.verizon.com/products/google-nest-doorbell-battery/ -Natasha
