Frequently Asked Questions

You can not directly upload your camera image from your Nest camera to AmbientWeather.net, but you can reference a static URL from your Nest account.

• Go to your Nest account and login using a web browser: https://home.nest.com/ from your computer. You cannot change your privacy settings from your phone or tablet.
• Select the camera that you want to share and click on Settings settings icon for Nest  in the top right corner of your browser window. Note: If you don’t see the Settings icon, increase the size of your web browser window to reveal it.
• Tap Camera Sharing . You will need to scroll down the page a bit.
• You  now  have  two  options:  Share  with  password  or  Share  publicly.  Choose Share  publicly:  This  lets  anyone  with t he  link  view  your  camera’s  stream.  No  password is  needed.  Tap Agree & Share
  
• SHARE THIS LINK will be provided by Nest. It looks something like this:
  
  https://video.nest.com/live/W0vWkESnqZ
  
  This is NOT the share link you will use with AmbientWeather.net.
• Open a new browser window, and Copy and Paste this share link (do not use the example link above – your link will look different).
• Right click on the video and select Inspect Element

• Look for a line that looks like this
  
  “background-image: url(https://nexusapi-us1.camera.home.nest.com/get_image?uuid=62e9db0…&width=540&public=iXXXXXXXX);
  Note: Please remove any “amp” in the code as this will cause issues.
