Easy to use, clear video. I had it installed on the side of my townhouse garage so that I could tell when packages are delivered and trash is picked up. Uses an included tool to remove it from its frame for recharging using a USB-C cable. App is simple to use. Goes along with other google Home devices I use. The design is simple and straightforward. Battery usage depends on how much you want it to record. Lets you pick what you want it to make a recording of: people, animals, vehicles (or a combination of these). Announces a bell ring through a google assistant in the home. It's bigger and heavier than I thought it would be from the photos. That's not an issue, but I expected something smaller and less noticeable. A small discreet circle around the buzzer at the bottom lights up when it's recording. I'm not sure my neighbors appreciate the fact that my doorbell lights up and records them every time they walk by with their dog.

NOTE FOR APPLE USERS: Google's Nest products don't integrate with Apple HomeKit well. For example, with this Nest Doorbell, you don't be able to see images/videos/streaming from the camera using your MacOS/iOS/iPadOS HOME app. You're forced to use Google's native Home app, which is honestly one extra, unnecessary step. That being said, the camera works perfectly well for its intended purpose. I use it inside an apartment complex to keep an eye out for packages while I travel for work/personal trips. Installation is pretty self explanatory. The item comes with a rubber wedge that you can install prior to mounting the doorbell to give it an angle. Installation is a breeze and I'd recommend having a Google Account ready to go through the process. Battery life purely depends on how often it's being used. Mine goes off multiple times a day for packages and neighbors passing by my door but I can still get a solid 3-4 months (estimate) out of it before having to recharge the device. Camera is equipped a wide-angle (vertical) lens. Picture quality is highly dependent on lighting. Because mine is set in a building hallway with clinically bright lighting, the image quality looks great. Locations with lots of shade (awning/porch cover/poor lighting) may cause some image quality degradation. The AI is smart enough to recognize if it's a person, animal, person with a package, etc. A LOT of features are locked behind the Google subscription paywall. Specifically all-day recording. The standard system can do Live Video streams whenever you like. The video RECORDINGS, on the other hand, are short clips that last for however long the moving object is there. If it doesn't sense anything, nothing is recorded. Full history video recordings of clips only go back 24 hours. The subscription will allow for significantly more (you're paying for server space and access to the videos, essentially). Honestly, I have more gripes about the SOFTWARE more than the HARDWARE. The ONLY issue I have with the hardware is that the way to unmount the camera to bring it in for charging is a thin metal "key." It's quite literally a flat metal piece so anyone can just plop the camera off your mount if they had something like a metal nail file on hand.

I had the nest door bell wired version and it would not connect to the hub. I returned it for a wireless and it works perfecto. I appears that I have to charge it in 2 months but I’m not complaining. It does the job. Night vision is clear and I have no complaints.
