    I havent even finished installing this and I am tempted to return it. The setup through Google Home and on the website fails to inform you that you have to install the wall plate to the back of the camera before it will attempt to connect to the network. Then I find out that the provided wedge is only usable one direction meaning if you need it to angle right and mount on the left side of your door frame you have to purchase a separate mount to accomplish that. Horrible restriction for no reason other than cash grab after purchase.

    It is very glitchy and slow. I thought for the price point it would be faster and better than its competitors but I was very wrong. If you don't mind not knowing who is at your door until 30 seconds later than this is for you.

      Hey there, jayr. Sorry to hear you're running into performance issues on the Nest Doorbell (Battery). You could be running into connectivity issues causing lower quality and lack of responsiveness — here’s how to fix that:

      1. Restart your doorbell to refresh its connection.
      2. Turn off other devices connected to your Wi-Fi.
      3. Check your Wi-Fi network or router settings

    Overall highly satisfied with this item. The free 3 hours of video history was the main selling point to me (do not want to pay monthly fees), but now like the smart detections feature the best which can tell apart humans, animals, vehicles, packages, etc.

    Beautiful hardware ruined by awful Google Home app

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    After experimenting extensively with all the other major cam and doorbell brands (Arlo, Ring). I really wanted to love these new Nest products. Sadly though, the nice hardware is let down by a few bad software features, and one terrible decision. - these new cameras are managed through the Google Home app, not the Nest app. The Home app is horrible and cluttered to use. I really don't understand why Google is moving its product to use this app - importantly, this also, means you cannot view your videos, or manage these devices through a browser - only through the Home app - there is not way to set notification schedules - to get notifications when there is motion during the night, but not during the day, for example. every other product I've tried offers this feature. without it the product is mostly useless as you either get nonstop notifications, or none at all. - there is no easy way to share clips with people - you have to download them to your mobile device then either post them somewhere or share them in a message - super annoying. - this thing is surprisingly massive! check the dimensions before you purchase

    I love the nest doorbell, except that it lags a little bit sending the message. The issue is the google software, I wish google use the previous nest software and expand it. Also, the camera doesn't record constantly even though it's wirely connected.

      Hi briant, thanks for posting a review about the Nest Doorbell (Battery), and we’re sorry to learn of your poor experience with its battery life, and with excessive loading time to see video history.

      The battery life will depend on factors including activity, temperature, and doorbell/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. This link might be helpful: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/10901611

      We request for your patience as we’re working on a seamless solution. Meanwhile, we suggest having the latest version of the Google Home app that may improve camera playback controls to make it easier to play, pause, and navigate between events from the camera history view for cameras set up in the Google Home app.

      Please let us know if you need further assistance and feel free to contact us anytime here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest

      Hey there, ZachC. Thanks for giving us feedback about the Nest Doorbell (battery). We’re glad that it works well, but we’re sorry to hear your experience with the Night vision feature.

      Bright lights can delay or prevent the camera from switching to Night Vision. We suggest installing the wedge to angle your doorbell away from bright lights, or to install the doorbell in a shady spot. You should also make sure that any nearby surfaces or objects (like a wall) are out of view, since the doorbell’s infrared light can reflect off a surface.

      Let us know if more help is needed by visiting us anytime here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest

      Hi Troy, thanks for sharing the issue with our support team. We´re sorry for the disappointing experience with the short battery life of Nest Doorbell (Battery).

      Battery life will depend on factors including activity, temperature, and camera settings that you select. Users can extend the battery life of their camera by adjusting video quality, length of video clips, time between recorded events, and using activity zones to monitor specific areas. Here are some typical scenarios:
      Busy: About 1 month battery life (About 25 - 30 recorded events per day)
      Typical: About 2.5 months battery life (About 13 - 16 recorded events per day)
      Quiet: About 6 months battery life (about 2 - 5 recorded events per day)

      It's important to check the frequency of events (per day) that you get with your Nest Doorbell (Battery). If the short battery life isn´t related to the frequency of events, then we may need to have a closer look at your device and understand what may be causing it. We recommend contacting our support team for further assistance by visiting us here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest
