Posted .Hi OKAY, thanks for posting your feedback. We’re sorry to learn that you’re not able to connect your Nest Doorbell (Battery) with your indoor chime.
Your doorbell can’t use your home’s doorbell chime with battery-powered installation. So if you want to get notified when someone rings your doorbell when you’re home, connect a Google speaker or display and set up visitor announcements.
Your patronage and satisfaction are what drives us to keep working on improving our products and services. If you need assistance, our support team is always here to help. Feel free to contact our support team here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp
Solid purchase
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It does the job. Out new home's doorbell wasn't properly wired so this did the trick and connects to Google Assistant
I would recommend this to a friendBest Doorbell ive had
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love it, The notifications do come Faster wired. I Recommend it.
I would recommend this to a friendBuyer beware app and abilities lost with new model
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Buyer beware! This does not connect to nest app (like previous products), and forces the use of the google he app which is nowhere near as user friendly. This inability to add it to the nest app has a negative effect on your ability to add this device as a “skill” with Alexa. In order for your doorbell to ring I was told I had to purchase another google device to make the audible chime indoors. As someone with 8-10 Alexa devices already, I’m really bummed I don’t have the option to utilize my current devices.

Posted .Hi ChrisLongen, thanks for posting your feedback. It’s unfortunate to hear that the new Nest Doorbell (Battery) didn’t meet your expectations. We understand that being able to control the device using Nest App is convenient.
The new Nest Doorbell (Battery) is exclusive to the Home app because we wanted to create an integrated experience. Our long term plan is to use the Google Home app as the one place you can control all of your favorite Nest and other smart home devices, as well as Google Assistant. In the near future, we’ll allow users to set up previous Nest devices and have full control in the Home app. Users with older cameras can view their camera feeds in the Google Home app alongside the new Nest Cams. Our team is working on bringing full functionality to the Google Home app so all of your cameras can be set up and controlled in one place.
If you have further questions, you can always reach out to our support team here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp
Horrible google home app
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Installation was easy, but setting up Google home app to use the camera was a disaster and a horrid experience you cannot even share access to your family members devices without going go an even worse experience. This shoudld be a straightforward app that will oppen my front door camera but it’s not. You would have to go to multiple set ups on steps just to access your front door camera unbelievable.

Reboot Loop
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Stay clear and do your research! Just type in "Reboot Loop" you'll find many people having this issue. It'll happen right after warranty is up which is 1 year. Just please do your research! Have had all my other family members use other brands and have had them multiple years with no problems!

Very nice to have
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Wasn't sure we really needed this or if I really wanted it, but we love it!
I would recommend this to a friendDon't buy if you live in cold climate
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Easy to set up. But, don't buy if you live where it gets cold. It will not work at all below 0 deg F. It also will bother you with false detections indicating someone is seen but nothing is there just before it dies from the cold. Overall video and night vision are not as good as Ring Doorbell Pro 2. Also Ring and Wyze products don't "die" from the cold. Frankly an outdoor security device that fails due to cold is useless

Posted .Hello LarryF, thank you for posting your feedback on Nest Doorbell (battery). We're sorry to learn that your experience didn't meet your expectations when it comes to the working temperatures of the device. At temperatures below freezing, the lithium-ion battery in your Nest Doorbell won’t be able to charge. Many devices, including popular models of doorbell, cameras and cell phones, use lithium-ion batteries for their high power and long life, but these batteries are also affected by temperatures below freezing.The batteries in your Nest Doorbell (battery) has the minimum operating temperature of -4°F (-20°C) and a minimum charging temperature of 32°F (0°C).

Can't even set up. Instructions are useless.
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Can't even connect this to anything. Google home says you have to set this up in the Nest app and the nest app says you have to set it up in Google home. Instructions are garbage. Otherwise, this item is massive. I don't know why anyone needs a doorbell this big. Really disappointed and returning this item.

Posted .Hi there, thanks for sharing your feedback. It's unfortunate to hear about the difficult experience you´re having in setting up your Nest Doorbell (Battery), and we apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you.
The battery accounted for the bigger size of Nest Doorbell (Battery). While the smaller Nest Hello Doorbell didn't require a battery component since it was connected to a power wire.
We understand that setting up new gadgets can be confusing at times. However, Nest Doorbell is designed to work exclusively with the Google Home app. And, if you need further, our dedicated team of support specialists would be happy to walk you through the set up.

Easy to install and elegant hardware. Curtailed by
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a nice looking doorbell. It was easy to install and the video capture seems okay with lots of options to customize to your preferences. However the google app for iOS feels convoluted. No Apple TV support. Feels like a beta release. Hopefully there will be broader support and the app gets streamlined. Otherwise will probably get rid of.

Way to many short comings, Get NEST HELLO instead.
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I see a lot of positive reviews here but I'm guessing this might be the first doorbell cam people have purchased. If they knew what using the competition was like they would not be so positive on this. The original NEST HELLO door bell is still available and I would suggesting getting that one WAY over this one. Here are the main reasons: * Does not work with far better NEST APP. Instead you have to use the far inferior GOOGLE HOME APP. * Does not record 24/7 (with subscription) like the NEST HELLO product * Clips the start of almost every recording causing the user to miss important information. Most competitor Doorbell cams have about a 3 second pre-record. * Google says the NEST App features will be coming to the GOOGLE HOME app sometime in 2022. Well, went in 2022? Do you want to wait what could be a year for these features? I know I don't.

Posted .Hi MartyGadget, we appreciate your feedback. We´re sorry to hear about your disappointment with some of the features for your Nest Cam (Battery) and the Google Home app.
We understand that you have enjoyed using the Nest app with your Nest cameras. However, our priority with this launch was building a complete experience for our new cameras and doorbell in the Google Home app. We wanted to make the Google Home app as the one place you can control all your favorite Nest and other smart home devices with the Google Assistant. Here are some benefits you can get by using the Google Home app with your Nest Doorbell (Battery):
- Automatic security protections, such as Suspicious activity detection, 2-Step Verification and Security Checkup.
- Your Google Nest devices and services will work together. For example, if you have a Nest Cam and a Nest Hub, just say, ""Hey Google, show me the backyard camera” to cast your camera stream to your display without any additional setup.
- One account to sign in to both the Nest and Google Home apps.
- Your homes, and home members will be aligned across the Nest and Google Home apps.
You may have the option to set up your Nest cameras to the Google Home app. Check out this link for more information: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/9893532
If you are interested in 24/7 continuous video history, consider one of our wired Nest cameras or Nest Doorbell (Wired).

Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Terrible product!!! Can’t wait to return it. GOOGLE LAUNCHED TO SOON. Filled with issues and bugs, battery life versus what they say, software issues, Nest integration issues…big disappointment.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from Nest Support
Posted .Hi there, thanks for bringing this issue to our attention. We're sorry to hear about the frustrating experience with software bugs and battery issues you are having with your Nest Doorbell (Battery).
Nest Doorbell (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)
We recommend checking 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'd also like to check on the glitchy issues you are experiencing with Nest Doorbell (Battery). We recommend contacting our support team for further assistance by visiting us here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp

Posted .Hi Samm, thanks for sharing your feedback. We're sorry to hear about your disappointment with the changes we made for accessing the video history for Nest Doorbell (Battery), and with the Google Home app.
We understand that you have enjoyed using both the browser on your computer and the Nest app, to view your video feed on Nest cameras. However, our priority with this launch was building a complete experience for our new cameras and doorbell in the Google Home app. We wanted to make the Google Home app as the one place you can control all your favorite Nest and other smart home devices with the Google Assistant.

Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you're considering a doorbell purchase, I'd recommend steering clear of the Google doorbell.
