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.
*Some features, including mobile notifications, remote control, video streaming, and video recording, require working internet and Wi-Fi.

Q: QuestionIs it waterproof?(6 answers)
A: Answer"Water resistant." Rain/Snow is not a problem, however, this would not be a suitable doorbell if you live in a pineapple under the sea.Answered by BenisJ
- A: AnswerOur priority is giving our customers choice and making devices for every home. The new Nest Doorbell can be powered with wires delivering 8 - 24 V AC, and at least 10 VA, 50/60Hz, for continuous charging. It also has a local storage fallback that allows it to record videos for up to one hour during an internet outage and also for battery-powered cameras and doorbells, during a power outage. supports both Nest Aware subscriptions. With a Nest Aware subscription, you’ll get 30 days of event video history. With Nest Aware Plus, you’ll get 60 days. Nest Doorbell (battery), even when wired for continuous charging, does not offer 10 days of 24/7 video history with Nest Aware Plus.

Q: QuestionWhere can I buy a replacement battery? How much does the replacement battery cost?(5 answers)
A: AnswerThe internal battery is not replaceable by the customer. You have to remove the whole doorbell from the mounting bracket using the supplied metal "key", bring it inside and plug it in to recharge it... about every 2-3 months.Answered by gadgeTT
Q: QuestionHow long will it last on battery power alone?(6 answers)
A: AnswerLike any battery device that depends on its frequency of use as well as temperature. Batteries tend to not last as long when its very cold outside. Typically around a month for average use is a statement in the literature however it says you may see a longer or shorter time between charges based on you use. We wired this one to an old transformer powered mechanical doorbell in the house so it has constant power. But another brand we had that was battery only lasted about 4-5 months between charges due to low use.Answered by PapawJeff
- A: AnswerYes! It should! If you have the Google Hub, it will show a short video clip. ☺

Doorbell
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.

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.

Love it
i switched from ring because i prefer google nest over alexa and I love the familiar face feature because my nest can annouce whos at the door. The battery lasts long enough for me to charge it every 4 weeks. Great for apartments, you can buy a screw free mount anywhere.
