Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

Very easy to install, clear video. This is the third one I installed on my house and each one works great!

Video quality is clear, the wired version is crystal, app is easy to use and I like how you can change the different chimes Only thing I don’t like is that I have to buy a off brand chime to stick indoors to here someone ringing the bell, it doesn’t come with one

This is an easy to install video doorbell. The video picture is very good. A large area can be seen. I got it on sale and using Google home app is also easy to use.

Easy install and has a range of view. I've had it up for about a month and haven't seen the battery percentage drop much. My front entrance is on the side of my house so it doesn't capture or notify of cars passing on the street or people walking on the sidewalk. Just whomever is in range of my door. If you don't have a lot of visitors that helps eliminate the "whose there?" Settings for packages has worked great as well.

When i first opened the box , i was taken back from the size of this doorbell and was wondering if i will even fit. The installation process was easy, a little too easy. I got the doorbell to fix but hooking it on the backet took some time. I didn't care that it doesn't record 24/7 as long as it picked up everything which it did. I liked this doorbell so much that i bought another one for the back door.

Was on the fence between Google Nest Doorbell (battery) and Ring. Opted to try google due to already having google products (nest mini; hub). Doorbell works great for my condo. I read reviews regarding poor battery in cold temperatures. With this winter (Northern California), lows are approx 32 degrees over night. I’ve had the battery out for about 3 weeks now, and still have 92% battery left (3 months). Solid doorbell, great quality. Google home app easy to navigate. Doorbell rings come through on mobile devices and hub

The video quality is good, a bit grainy for far away content but not too bad for up close, it connects with my Google mini speaker to announce when someone rings the doorbell, easy set up/connect to WiFi. The problem is that I'm having to unmount and charge it every 2 days when it says it should last at least a month. I bought a solar panel to be plugged into the doorbell but it doesn't help charge it or keep it charged. I think my doorbell might be defective but it's past its return date so now I'm stuck with it.

Great quality. I’ve owned several different brands of outdoor cameras and every single one had extremely loud “white noise” feedback to the point that you couldn’t even understand or hear a conversation. The Google nest has little to no feedback and the camera quality is great.

Google’s doorbells are excellent. From the quality of the product to the ease of installation nothing comes close. Combined with the Google Floodlight Camera and Google Outdoor Cameras we have 100 % piece of mind. With Familiar Face Detection we know exactly who is walking up to our property before they can reach the door.

great camera quality, sound, and battery life love that it comes with an angled mount option. at first i thought i didn't need it but as we were setting up the test-view i thought wow so glad it came with it bc it was needed. wish the memory life was a little longer. you get a free trial for a month or so and after that trial ends you're at the free subscription and you can only go back 3H

Solid doorbell camera, easy to setup too if you need one that you can bring in and charge. My biggest gripe is that, for how great the camera is, it has issues notifying me when a package/delivery has arrived in the zone I created. Like you need to have the app opened to get a notification. Idk if there's not enough contrast or lighting on my doorstep, so take this with a grain of salt. Overall solid camera, similar to the other Google Nests, easy to setup & charge. Only wish I had more

Great doorbell with easy to install kit all in the box. Will need google home app to connect the device and I recommend getting some google nest hubs to act as speakers for when someone rings the door bell.

Battery lasts over 2 weeks with daily traffic of taking kids to school and deliveries. Quality is nice and field of view definitely wraps around all of my entry. Very wide. Everyone loves the special holiday ringtones and my google home devices at home respond quickly with the doorbell.

Great video doorbell!! The Doorbell’s camera is good quality and does a pretty good job at identifying when packages are dropped off. The google home app is user-friendly and intuitive.

This is the second one I've purchased. I have one for my house, and when a friend needed one, I picked up one and installed it for her. Installation can be challenging depending depending on the location you need it. For me, there was no existing doorbell, so I also purchased the solar charger for it. For my friend, it replaced her existing door bell and was able to hardwire. It also works great with her existing chime. Very happy with the product and would recommend.

It’s amazing to have to know who is at your door and when you order thing and you see wen you get it

I love it I’m a single mother And I’m more comfortable than ever I can talk thur the system very clearly

Stay away from google nest camera's as google will not honor their warranty. i've only owned this camera 2 months and while trying to dismount the doorbell camera from the mounting plate the face of the camera fell apart in my and and the ribbon wire broke. also, the batteries only got about a one month runtime, so it's kind of an important that the camera stayed together when it needs removed, so often for recharging. Why they couldn't have put a slot on the side of the camera for charging in place I have no idea

Installation was a bit tricky given the completr lack of any written instructions. They do provide a qr code which takes you to a youtube video, butnit still left a few issues unaddressed such as how best to incorporate the house wiring as an option. Also there was no provision of sny operating instructions leaving one to learn as you go.
