Great! Works good lots of notifications records a lot get lots of motion

This is my first video doorbell and my only nest product currently. So far the device has been working great for me and consistently giving me alerts, usually within 3-5 seconds of the event. Being able to setup the device without wires was great for my use case. The initial set up was overall easy tho I did have some issues with the first try where it disconnected during an update and prevented me from completing setup, so I had to factory reset and start from scratch. The device itself was larger than I had expected, likely due to the battery in it, but the quality is great and video is clear.

Video quality is excellent but battery quality is not. I’ve had this doorbell for almost 2 years now and 7 months in I had to receive a replacement due to battery lasting only a couple days with no package, person, motion alerts. I tried to charge the battery at least 3 times but each time it lasted a couple days before receiving an alert to recharge. I’m now on the phone with Google support as this battery issue is happening again 1 year later. I live in the Midwest so I’m going to assume the battery life is associated with hot temperatures outside. I will be looking into a different doorbell and trashing this one.

Overall, I like the doorbell. It does have a few issues recognizing my face and my husband's. Part of that could be the angle that it sits at. It comes with a door wedge, but it's not enough for this location. I don't fault the doorbell for that. I'll probably end up 3D printing a larger wedge. I can check in anytime, anywhere, even if my husband is viewing it live too. That's a major reason I went with Nest over Blink. I have 2 Nest Hubs and when the doorbell rings, the video shows up on both of my TVs and both hubs... or at least it's supposed to. It works well for the hubs, but it's not working on the TVs. It disturbs my video, but then shows a broken camera symbol. Otherwise, I really like the doorbell. It gives me peace of mind when I'm away from home. I like being able to check in from anywhere, even if it's already being live viewed. The chime that comes through my nest devices is nice and soft and can be changed as easily. Also, my dogs haven't caught on yet. They absolutely will not shut up if a normal doorbell is rung (even on TV) or when someone knocks. It's so nice to have the doorbell announcement, check that my delivery driver is gone, and then calmly walk to the door without chaos. The 2 way talk is great, especially compared to other cameras I've used. The good definitely outweighs the bad for me. My issues may not be issues at all for other people. I highly recommend this doorbell.

Great option for our house since the walls are brick inside and out. Video is good, connection is good over fiber. Bettery life is pretty decent. We get about 4 weeks out of ours depending on how many visitors we get. Only issue is the first one we purchased only lasted 2 years. Yes it's outside but it is under a covered porch. I would expect a bit mroe life.

I was reluctant to have a door camera but it has proven itself useful every day since it was installed. Camera and sound quality are mush better than I expected.

Decent option but leaves us wanting more. We replaced an old Nest doorbell that had stopped working. I wanted the wired version but the store only had the battery option in stock. Biggest frustration is the historical recordings. We already pay Google for 5 days of history but that doesn’t apply to this product. Why?! We only get past 3 hours of history with this, pretty disappointing.

So far so good. The video quality is good, the notification speed is good, but the battery life is questionable. There are settings to help w/ battery longevity but so far Ive only managed to get 3 weeks before I have to recharge. That is a far cry from what is promoted. Now I do live on a street w/ a lot of foot traffic so that certainly contributed to the hit on the battery. I’ve adjusted my zones and will see how that improves the battery. This is a new product from Google so I’m sure software updates will be sent out possibly to help w/ the batter. TBD.

Exactly what I wanted, however the battery life is shorter than expected. Interfaces very well with Google Home. I can see the door area remotely using smartphone App. Automatically saves the past three hours of events. You can also externally save the events. Installation is easy, but you need extra hardware to really secure it on the door frame.

I recently purchased the Nest Doorbell for security reasons. My wife and I love in the country and it's nice to be able to see who, if anyone, walks by our cars, our shed, or comes to the door. I went with the Nest above others after doing some research and finding that it actually has a rolling 3 hour record time for free. Others, you have to pay for a subscription to be able to save any footage. It's very sensitive on it's pick up and will tell you if a person has been at your door and even if that person is carrying a package. It sends a notification directly to your phone, with a short video clip of the person. One of the best parts, it's easy to setup and install. I recommend the Nest over others like it, for it's price and features.

The device is great. Stylish and robust, it's a good design. A couple of things I didn't like: The viewing angle is limited, with the vertical view being greater than the horizontal view. Here, the Ring doorbell wins, it’s has a longer range. I would have preferred the device to be operated from the Nest app, as the Google home app is very cluttered. The battery lasted me about a month. Recharging it took over 3 hours. The other problem is that the notifications on the Apple Watch does not work as it should. It tries to show a picture, but you don't see anything, in contrast with the Nest or Ring notifications. In conclusion, I liked the doorbell because it is easy to install, does not need wires and does its job. I don't like the app, but I'm hopeful that Google will fix those issues in the future.

Yep. Everything I expected! Bought on sale (whoot) and recording is free for a set expiration time without a subscription. Works great!

Great doorbell and we love all the google stuff however Nest\google is now wanting over $20 a month to keep your data for longer than 24 hrs. Will be changing to Roku for cheaper and with night vision

I purchased this for my parents, and it has been fantastic for them. The camera is wonderful, and they get to see the full image of the person at the doorbell and not the fisheye looking image.

It was basically the doorbell I was looking for. I tried another brand but it was so slow notifying me they were gone before I got connected. I also don’t want a monthly fee so I have 3 hours from when an event occurs to save the video. Not ideal but but better than a monthly fee. Would have been 5 stars except for that. It works with my existing chime indoors and notifies me on my google speakers in the house when the doorbell is activated. Video is good too

Overall, the Google Nest Wi-Fi Video Doorbell is a solid product with great video quality and reliable alerts. However, when charging, be careful—the lens is prone to scratches and smudges, which can reduce visibility. A gentle touch is definitely needed! The main downside is that the Google Home app feels sluggish at times, causing delays in notifications or video playback. Once everything is up and running, it works well, but the app experience could definitely use some optimization. Still, it's a good choice if you’re looking for a sleek, battery-operated doorbell.

It was very easy to install. We love the notifications. Currently is battery operated only wanted to attach the chime originally installed in the house but haven’t successful. I was able to set up notifications through our phones and the Amazon echo show. In general we are satisfied with this product.

This camera has fantastic quality, as to all of the Google cameras that we have experienced. This has massively easy installation, what I consider to be quite a good battery life, a wide range of view, excellent video quality, and great features. Everyone that I have shown this camera too compliments the quality of the footage and how clear it is and the wide range of view. Plus it integrates seamlessly with all of our other Google home devices which we love.

Compared to our last doorcam this was much higher in quality. My only biggest complaint is that it requires itself to be wired in to make use of door chimes. You can circumvent this by using a nest hub and having the assistant chime for you, but it'd still be nice to just have a general chime option.

Doorbell Cam was easy to install. It works with the google home app, which is easy to install as well if you don't have it already. The camera is good quality and clear images. Sight area is pretty wide & does have some adjustment capability. Overall, great product for the price.
