    Easy installation, came with everything you'd need (except the drill of course). Works great as well, camera is clear with a good microphone/speaker.

    Solid Video Doorbell with Flexible Power Options

    The Google Nest Doorbell is a solid pick for anyone in the Google ecosystem. I really liked that even though it says batter operated, it offers both battery and wired options—I went with wired so I don’t have to deal with recharging. Setup was quick and seamless, integrating smoothly with my existing Nest devices. Video quality is clear, notifications are reliable, and it just works. If you're in the Nest ecosystem, it's an easy recommendation.

    I purchased the google nest doorbell because my sister has one and she gave me good reviews. My opinion this is best camera doorbell I have ever purchased. I love the fact I can pop it off when the battery is low and charge it instead of having to purchase new batteries that’s a big win for me. The video is very clear and the color is good. I recommend the google nest doorbell to all my family and friends. Actually two of them has already purchased one. Thanks Google hands down on these cameras

    I ordered the wireless camera because I didn't have a doorbell previously. Install was a breeze, and set up on my phone was quick. On the Google home app you get to customize the alerts you want to receive. The unit can be removed with a special key to charge with a usb-c charger (only the cable is provided) for about 4 hours. The two complaints I have are battery life, but that can be remedied by turning off some alerts. The second would be the newest video alert is not available until later, not all the times but it happens. Overall I'm pleased with the product.

      Hey there, Oscarv956. We appreciate your feedback on Nest Doorbell (battery). We're glad that the setup and installation went easy for you. We hear your concerns about the battery life along with the video alerts.

      Aside from turning off some alerts, you can extend the battery life by adjusting the settings like video quality, length of video clips, time between recorded events, and using activity zones to monitor specific areas. Check this link for tips on how to save the battery: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/10901611

      Also, you may need to check for any range issue or wireless interference that can affect the overall performance of your doorbell. Sometimes the device may pass the connection test during setup, but will struggle to stay connected if it’s just a bit too far away from your router. You may also check for objects such as mirrors and refrigerators between the doorbell and your router as these items could block the connection. Check this link for more details: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/9276282

    Very easy to install and use. It comes with clear instructions and there are also videos showing you how to follow the steps, which was very helpful in my case. I bought the battery model but ended up being able to connect to the electricity with no issues with the same device. My only recommendation would be to make the wedge adjustable because I would have liked it to be a little bit more turned towards the front (I had to install it on a side wall, trying to cover the holes where the old doorbell was)

    Terrible battery life

    Love the design. I have a brick house and I didn’t want to have to drill into the brick, so this fit perfectly on the wooden door frame. The video quality itself is good, however the battery life is terrible. I had to set it to conserve battery life, but the motion is triggered a lot less than when it’s in balanced battery mode. So much that it cuts off anybody walking up to my front door and you can’t even see their face. Totally worthless since I have to charge it at least once a week.

    It is battery version, so the chime option and function is limited to google speaker and hub(s), good if you have either or both. Battery life is shorter than expect when camera is operated. Overall, it is a good thing to get along with your all other smart products. If google has a smart chime that can partner with this door bell, that would make the experience complete.

    This review is for the battery-operated product. I purchased this item for its simplicity and partly because I also have a Google Nest outdoor camera so I can have the same subscription for all my cameras. I really like this product as the installation/setup guide is very intuitive. As soon as you scan the barcode for the setup process, it will guide you throughout the process. The video and recorded events are very clear, and the sound quality is just right. Pretty much similar to the outdoor cameras except that as an event happens, it automatically keeps track in the history so you really need to do a lot of video scrubbing. One of the big discovery I found with this is the facial recognition is very good. My wife went out with a sweater hoodie as it was cold and still recognized her face in the history. The battery charge seem to hold well. I was under the impression I will have to recharge frequently since I keep on viewing the history but I found out that it is holding out well. One suggestion I would recommend is that if you also have other Google/Nest cameras to switch to Nest Aware plus as it's a big benefit and you can save more money from the subscription.

    Good for what I need, since retiring my hard-wire system is problematic. I will say that, although it’s not required unreasonably often, having to remove it to charge it is a bit of a pain. I also live in Minnesota. Now that the cold weather season has begun I’m getting warning on my app that it may be adversely impacting its ability to hold a charge. We’ll see as winter really sets in. Last negative- it’s really BIG! On the plus side, it seems to work fine.

      Hello there, Scott. We’re glad to hear that the Nest Doorbell (battery) meets your needs. We hear your concerns about having to recharge it more often than you should along with its battery behavior during extreme cold weather, and with the size of the device.

      Nest Doorbell (battery) is designed with a built-in rechargeable battery that drives the size of the product, so that it's flexible to use with or without a wired power connection. Also, at temperatures between -4°F (-20°C) and 32°F (0°C), the battery can still power your device, but it won’t charge. It may drain more quickly than usual. At temperatures close to -4°F (-20°C), your battery may have less than half the life that it has in warm weather. The doorbell will continue to work, but the battery will drain because it can’t be charged. You need to bring it inside to a warm place, preferably at room temperature so the battery can start to charge slowly once its temperature rises past 32°F (0°C). It will charge faster when it warms up.

      For other support concerns that require immediate attention, simply let us know and we’d be happy to help you, here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest

    The camera and zone settings work well for tracking visitors and packages while living in a city, but the battery life is awful. Our apartment did not have doorbell wiring so we opted for the battery-powered version. It dies VERY quickly, normally every 2-3 days, but in the extreme heat or cold it can last for as little as a few hours. If you live in a city, hire a contractor to run the proper wiring, otherwise you'll be charging your doorbell more than you use it.

      Hey there, Sarah. We’re sorry to hear you’re having to charge the Nest Doorbell (Battery) so often. The battery life will depend on factors including activity, temperature, and selected camera settings. On average here’s how long the battery will last on a single charge:

      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)

      Here’s a few tips to conserve battery:
      1. Optimize its video quality.
      2. Shorten the length of time for which events are recorded.
      3. Take longer to begin recording between events.

    I admit I was alittle hesitant about the 2 month battery life, but at the rate is going it's going to be maybe 3 months before a recharge! Quality is amazing, identifying individuals and packages is spot on and very quick to alert me! Install was tricky at first but figure it out and you can make it work almost anywhere!
