    The best thing about thos door bell is how ot detects packages. It also determines animals vs people. Great item to have. The talk back feature seems to not work so much but maybe its my internet since im in a bery rural area.

      Hello there, Electronicnerd! Thanks for the feedback you shared about the Nest Doorbell (battery). We're glad that you like the activity detection feature, but we’re sorry to learn that your experience with the Talk and Listen feature is less than ideal.

      We suggest trying the simple steps below that might help:
      - Check the Google Home app or Nest app permissions:
      - For Android devices: Go to the phone’s Settings > Apps > Google Home or Nest Permissions, and make sure the Microphone is enabled.
      - For iOS devices: Go to the device’s Settings > Google Home > Permission, and make sure the Microphone is enabled.
      - Test if the device’s microphone is working.
      - Open the default voice recorder app or any other app that uses your device’s microphone and test the device’s microphone on the app.
      - Check if the device is connected to a Bluetooth device that may be serving as the microphone.

      If the issue persists, please reach out to our dedicated team for additional services and assistance, here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest

    This product is an asset and I will get good use out of it. The prices on Amazon are highly competitive, I would rather look and study what I’m buying. Still I believe Best Buy should do match pricing

    the product is amazing! Installation not so much. Killed my doorbell so I had to buy a new one. It hasn't been the same since. Told me it was bc my doorbell was old, it worked perfectly before he installed it, but now not at all.

    Wasn’t going to be easy to get power to the location I needed so this works for me. Does a good job. Battery lasts several weeks easily as long as you are only checking it for people and not every movement detected.

    I love the google doorbell its way better than the skybell I had. The notifications are not annoying and it works with My other smart home devices easily. Easy to install , Id recommend checking your transmitter to make sure it doesn't need to be upgraded before installing the ringer blew but it was an easy fix. The only negative is that once you update even just your wifi password I had to factory reset my bell and start all over. Losing my history but I was able to save the videos I wanted to keep to my phone.No way to just update the password to connect

    Ever since Google tried to remove Nest from the picture, their products for the home are just terrible. Nothing works as well as the old Nest, or even the old DROPCAM that they forced me to remove and no longer would function. The 2nd gen will not connect very well to the rest of the network. You can no longer use the nest app for any new Google/Nest devices, and it keeps seeing "people" when there is no one. Never had a problem with old one before it died. I hope Apple gets into the game and starts making their own cameras, locks, and thermostats. This one I've had for a week and infuriated by it. Steer clear of the Google/Nest eco-system.
