“Why was this device designed to only work via battery and without 24/7 recording? Seems like a HUGE step backwards from the old nest doorbell. Feels like everyone wanted a wired device so you don't have to take your actual doorbell off of the wall...”

Our 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.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You can use this as a wireless doorbell OR as a wired doorbell. It gives you both options. I bought 2, 1 is wired and one is wireless. Both were simple to set up. Also, we are just using the google devices in our home for the chime as I did not hook it up to the old doorbell chime. I have Nest aware so it can record 24/7 if you choose to set it up that way. We have it set to record events so the history is longer.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.What Neat only mentions in the fine print - wired setup *does not charge the battery* under 32 degrees F. Every winter you’ll have to remove the doorbell and charge it manually, every 1-3 months.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Wrong, this doorbell has issues in cold winter weather. I know because i have 2. Both wired but 1 won't keep the battery charged in cold winter like it is now. It just drains the battery until it shuts down and reads, Battery empty. Goggle tells me to bring it inside to warm it up. What kind of an answer is that. Looks like they have issues and needs addressing.There is no way they tested this in cold climate. Buy the older Nest Doorbell. It's works very well because Google didn't make it.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I know why. I have a old house bought nest hello, the pros couldn’t hook it up because of volt issue. So for me and my home this is perfect. But I also have Google home devices & Apple phone.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.they do have a wired version, this version is for those that do not want a wired doorbell but want a secure video doorbell camera. the Nest Doorbell (wired) is the version you want that replaces your wired doorbell.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The “battery/ wired” version of the Nest Doorbell is using a terminology that is inaccurate because wired cameras can mean wired audio/video, BUT in the case of this camera the “wires” are the door bell wires and the video is WiFi video. Additionally the claim video subscription is NOT. Because the Nest Aware App doesn’t work with the Second Generation Cameras. The Nest Support I spoke with said there was something being worked on to make the Google Hone App function like NEST Aware. But, without the functionality of Nest Aware, I’ll have to look for something else.
