My favorite doorbell doorcam. High quality video with high quality video and sleek design. The design alone sold me! I love that it recognizes faces and alerts me when they are seen. The package feature is another great one that alerts when packages are seen and when the taken from frame. All in all a great competitor

I didn't know what to expect with this. All I knew, was that I wanted to feel safe. This product exceeded my expectations and more! The clarity of recorded video, the responsiveness of notifications, and the ease of set up are my favorites parts of the product. If you are on the fence, don't be! This is a great product and I recommend this product to anyone who is searching for a niche product such as this.

The Nest doorbell camera has been amazing. I love that when someone rings the doorbell - it sounds on my Google Home and/or on my phone. (Bonus that my dogs no longer lose their minds when the doorbell rings).
The video and sound quality are great, and the camera was extremely easy to mount. The Google Home app is extremely easy to set up with a new camera, and I'm a huge fan of the interface.

Great camera, easy to use! 24/7 footage up to 30 days history. Only issues I have is currently I cannot add to nest app only through google home, I understand that is due to Google buying nest. Just cant eait for google to finish updating app to allow more features.

Installation was a breeze but every installation may be different. My installation was a wired one but you may use the battery setup. I kept the default settings on the app and the clarity of the camera is fantastic.
If you are looking for a doorbell this is the one.

Aside from the security benefits of this product, my main reason for getting it was to alert me of package arrivals. I enjoy the customizable notifications I am able to receive. I can chose for the Google Home App to alert me whenever it detects people, packages, or pets which decreases the number of alerts I get on my phone. The video quality is great, but perhaps not the best. Installation was quick and painless, it took me about 10 minutes to completely setup and install on my front door.

Perfect Doorbell

The Google Nest Doorbell Battery is a quality product and obviously works great with Google Home. The camera is perfect during both, day and night. Though 'Battery' is part of its name, it can wired using your existing doorbell wires, which is what I did. It comes with three hours of recording time during a 24 hour period, which is enough for most people. The setup is amazingly simple and is easily installed by anyone even with no DIY skills. I recommend this item.

Great device, works well once installed. Has a battery life detector, will alert you about any motion on the doorbell. Has definitely streamlined my delivery and made me feel at ease about packages being dropped off in front of my house. AI is not the smartest and you need to subscribe to see history past 3 months. Sound quality is good, a little bit overblown lighting-wise due to the sun. But otherwise very good. Was not able to connect to previous google home, (so it lives in its own home) but that has not been an issue. I did end up drilling next to the door to install.

Great Wireless Doorbell

I had been searching for a video doorbell for quite some time and had been running into problems in that I have a front porch and wanted to put the doorbell on the outside, but there was not existing wiring to go to the front porch door from inside the house. Adding wiring for just this purpose would have been extremely costly. This wireless doorbell solved the problem. Very easy to setup and use. Also the mounting on the outside of the door was very simple and I was shocked at how long the battery lasts and the quality of the video. Highly recommended!

Solid Choice for Google Home/Nest Ecosystem

Great video quality (if set to highest settings), both day and night. Integrates seamlessly into the Google Home app. Battery life is pretty impressive (2 weeks on "out of the box" charge on high quality settings)
Pros:
- No wiring (unless you want it connected to an existing doorbell speaker)
- Easy setup
- Great video quality, nighttime video is impressive
- "Nest Aware" service has some neat features ($5/mo)
- Facial recognition is impressive (needs the Nest Aware service to work)
- Recognizes package delivery (also thinks you're removing delivery packages if you leave with anything in your hands)
- 2 Way talk works as advertised. Mic can hear people across the street!
Cons:
- Outside of Google Home App on your phone, you'll need a Chromecast to stream doorbell video to a TV, unless its an AndroidTV
- Facial recognition is easily defeated by wearing a hat or hood, even when looking at the Nest directly
- No option to hardwire power (I knew this going in)
- Field of view could be wider (its a "portrait" style, which seems counterintuitive for monitoring a yard/porch/driveway), but is good for phone viewing (seems to be the intention here)
Overall, I'm happy with it, but those who aren't in the Google Home ecosystem should probably consider other cams, as a lot of its best features only work seamlessly with Google/Android displays/tablets/speakers.

Have been using this door bell for almost 2 years and have never faced any issues. If you have google home then you get the notification. I have connected the door bell with the electric connection for infinite charging so that I dont have to take it down for charging it. If you are not planning to put it in place of your current door bell then you will have to take it down for charging every few month.
You can easily add name to familiar faces and google home will announce their name whenever they will ring the bell.
You can also assign zone so that you dont get notified for any movement outside the zone.
Night view is also pretty decent, you are able to see clear image. However, the device performance i.e. battery consumption does get impacted with extreme cold temperature.
Package identification is done by the bell. If well notify you if a package is delivered/ picked.
If you have google home app then you get all notification on phone.
Talking via doorbell is simple as well and this feature is handy if you are not at home.

I went in to Best Buy for another doorbell but changed my mind to this one because I have the Google Homes throughout my house. I use the battery power and it is connected to my Google homes. When the doorbell rings it alerts me on the screen and on the speakers. So far love it! The only thing is the battery life to recharge but it is super easy to take off and charge. Picture quality on my phone app and the google homes is perfect. I would highly recommend.
Hi Becca, thanks for choosing the new Google Nest Doorbell (Battery). We appreciate your feedback and we're glad to hear that you love it. However, we'd like to learn more about the short battery life you are experiencing with it.
There are a few factors that may affect battery life including activity, temperature, and camera settings that you select. You may extend the battery life of your Nest doorbell 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 also recommend keeping a close eye and checking on 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 figure out the root cause.

I like that it can use both battery and wired. New sleek look. I didn’t see any camera improvements. Can’t use in the Nest app when using battery.

Excellent product, quality, and super clear image. It notifies you of package delivery or people passing by, and the doorbell shows an image of a person at the entrance. Highly recommended.

The picture quality is great. Installation and setup was easy. Item is a little bulky. And the battery version can only be used with the lesser nest care option

Brand response from Nest Support

Hello there Jonas, thanks for giving us feedback on Nest Doorbell (battery). It’s good to hear you find its picture quality great, and the setup and installation easy. Nest Doorbell (battery) is designed with a built-in rechargeable battery so that it's flexible to use with or without a wired power connection, which drives the device larger that other Nest doorbell versions. Also, please note that even when wired for continuous charging, it does not offer 10 days of 24/7 video history with Nest Aware Plus.To optimize battery life, it offers event video history and will detect and capture important activity at your door, so you can focus on the details that need your attention.
Your feedback is important to us, and we’ll share this with the right team for future improvements. And if there’s anything we can be of help, you’re more than welcome to contact us anytime at: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp
