Customer Ratings & Reviews

I've been using this doorbell for at least 4 months now and the doorbell itself is a great device. The camera is clear during the day and night. Push notifications to my phone and several google minis throughout the house are fast and lag free. I love viewing my camera when someone rings it. I docked one star because the doorbell requires connection to Nest servers to broadcast any video and the service has been down several times since owning it.

The clarity is great and the video playback is so easy to use.

I have had both Ring and Arlo doorbells. I finally decided to spend the extra money and upgrade to the Nest doorbell because of the integration with my other Google/Nest products, especially the hubs. Despite having a whole Google ecosystem already (Nest thermostat, hubs, speakers, mesh wifi) the setup process for the doorbell was very frustrating. The Nest app insisted on making the doorbell try to create a "Nest network" with my thermostat but kept erroring out at that step, with no option to skip it. The doorbell setup finally completed after I removed my thermostat from the app, but now I have to set the thermostat up again. I was surprised to learn that I had to install a part on the wired chime inside my house, but like that I can now turn the chime off (no more dog barking at the doorbell) and rely on my Nest Hubs to announce that someone is at the door. The video quality is great and I like that the camera is "always on". I look forward to the Nest app being merged with the Google Home app so I can do everything in one place, but now that the installation headache is over I'm happy with this product.

Much better picture than ring. Very far view. Catches every movement and every sound

A solid piece of equipment and works well. The set up through Google Home/Nest was super easy (once you work through the Nest stuff). Only draw back has to do with the plate to put it on the wall... we ended up doing two trips to Home Depot to get a blank plate to make it work right. Our house is older (84) and the door bell plate was not industry standard.

We’ve had the nest cameras for several years, and adding the doorbell camera was just an added bonus. It really widens up what we can see at the front of the house. The picture is better than “the other brand” that some of my friends have!

Great quality picture and easy instructions for install

I love this doorbell-camera. It is very clear and , I dare say, smart! I don't have an existing wired doorbell, but found a great Nest tutorial on YouTube for setting it up using a regular plug. I use the Google Nest Home hub Max, the chime and announcement is excellent! I love the way they interact with each other.

I am very pleased with the quality of the picture and sound from this video doorbell. I can see who is at my door much better than by looking through the peep hole. The field of vision is much better also. Install was done by the Geek Squad very quickly and efficiently. I was fortunate not to have to buy a chime and transformer to go with it.

Love it, was easy to self install. Has a great picture.

Easy install and set up, very clear picture. Happy with purchase...

Very good product overall. Easy to set up if you can follow basic wiring diagrams. Opted for the 5 day recording service. Very helpful if you have kids coming home from school. Downside is I can’t buy anything fun because my spouse will see the UPS/FedEx guy deliver now LOL

The doorbell was very easy to install and works great with a great picture. I would give it a 5-star review except for two problems. First, after setting it up, my inside chime didn't work. Turns out there are two settings in the app that influence this. One turns it on or off. The other sets the chime duration. I had to deal with both as turning on the inside chime did nothing. After changing the duration, I finally heard the indoor chime - though I am still fine tuning as it definitely doesn't work as it did before. The second issue is the "wedge" that comes in the box does very little to change the angle of the doorbell. In my case, I really wanted to angle it substantially more. Given where my doorbell is located, without angling even more, it would be possible for someone to get to the doorbell unseen (it is on a side wall right next to the front wall - in the corner). This could all be fixed with having a slightly larger wedge. Hopefully, a third party might make one soon. Other than these two issues (which won't be a problem for some) the doorbell works well and the picture is great.

Easy installation and crystal clear picture. Would recommend

Love this doorbell! My husband installed it for us over the weekend and it's perfect. We were out and someone came to the door and we were able to talk through to them that we'd be home in just a minute. Voice on both ends is completely clear and the video works great too.

So far we like the nest doorbell. Picture quality is good. App is easy to see and talk with people.

I've had one on my front door since they were first released and finally bought a second for the back door - I should have done it sooner. They work exactly how I'd like them to, and they make monitoring my house when I'm not around very easy. Pair them with some indoor cameras and you have an awesome security system!

Love the NEST doorbell. A Ring owner for years, but this response to motion is much better. Couldn't get the angle I wanted but with a little shopping found an aftermarket angle bracket to get it just right.

Love the nest, love that it does face recognition. Great picture quality and very clear.

Easily installed and quality viewing for increased home security.
