The Nest Doorbell is the battery-powered video doorbell that works with any home. See what’s happening at your door from anywhere and get intelligent alerts about important activity, like when there’s a person, package, animal, or vehicle.* And because there are no wires, you can install it yourself. Nest Doorbell requires the Google Home app and a Google Account – it’s not compatible with the Nest app or the home.nest.com site.
- Control with the Google Home app.: View live HD video, replay video recordings, talk to visitors, and more – all from the Google Home app. The Nest Doorbell (battery) requires a free Google Account and is not compatible with the Nest app or the Nest site.
- Everything works together.: The Nest Doorbell works with other Nest products. Hear announcements on Nest Mini when someone is at the door. And Nest Hub will show you who’s there when someone rings the bell.
- Go back in time.: If you miss a notification, go back over the last 3 hours with free event video history. If you want more, add Nest Aware Plus for up to 60 days of event video history.** The Nest Doorbell (battery) does not record 24/7 video history, even with the optional wired installation.
- Get alerts that matter to you.: The Nest Doorbell lets you see what’s happening at your door and answer it from anywhere. It knows the difference between a person, package, vehicle, and animal, and alerts you when there’s activity, so there’s no guessing.*
- Install it yourself.: Wire-free means installation is painless. You can put it at the vantage point that works best for your door.
- See clearly in any light.: See key details in all kinds of light. HDR helps with bright, high-contrast sunlight, and night vision gives you a clear image even in low light and darkness.
- Designed for any door.: The Nest Doorbell is battery powered and wire-free, so it works with any door, whether you live in a house or an apartment. You can install it yourself. And it comes in a range of colors to make any doorstep more stylish.
- Wi-Fi problems? Not a problem.: If your Wi-Fi goes down or there’s a power outage, the Nest Doorbell will automatically record important events for up to one hour in its local memory.
- Choose the areas that matter most.: Activity Zones let you define specific areas and get notified when something happens there. So you only get alerted about things that are important to you.
- See who’s there, even when you're not.: A taller field of view and HDR let you see people clearly from head to toe, and packages on the ground. If you miss something, 3 hours of free event video history lets you go back and see what happened with the Google Home app.
- Talk to who’s there, from anywhere.: Talk and listen to visitors through the built-in speaker and microphone. Tell someone you’ll be right there, or let a delivery person know where to leave the package.*
- Protects your privacy.: The Nest Doorbell uses encrypted video, two-step verification, and enhanced security through your Google Account to help protect your privacy. And a green LED light lets you know when the camera is processing or streaming video.
- Battery life: Battery life will depend on factors including activity, temperature, and camera settings that you select. You can extend the battery life of your camera by adjusting video quality, length of video clips, time between recorded events, and using activity zones to monitor specific areas.

Does what it's intended to do. Simple to use
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.

Sufficient camera with some flaws.
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.
