    Very slim, sleek, and easy to install. Picture quality is terrific. The only downside is that it doesn't link to a doorbell chime. I had to buy a google mini for the doorbell notifications (in addition to the notifications received on my phone via the google home app). Very happy overall with the purchase.

      Hi Kevinm, we greatly appreciate your feedback on Nest Doorbell (Battery). We’re glad that you’re happy overall with the purchase, but are sorry to hear that it doesn’t link to a doorbell chime. To use an indoor chime, you need to have the Nest Doorbell (battery) connected to wire terminals. The Nest Doorbell (battery) can run on battery power alone or it can be connected to your doorbell system wires for continuous charging. While the Nest doorbell can replace most wired doorbells, there are some cases where the doorbell system either doesn’t give enough power or gives too much power. You should check that your current doorbell can be replaced by the Nest doorbell. Here’s a link with a guide for wired installation: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/10732535

      You can also visit us anytime for any other questions or concerns, we have help always available here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest

    Good, but some small annoying things... It was easy to install and track activity at your door and getting alerts on your phone when someone rings the bell or delivers a package. We assumed that this would work with the Nest application, but the battery powered doorbell does not. You must use the Google Home app instead. Adding a remote chime (so you can hear when someone rings the bell) is also not straightforward. Options are more limited for the batter powered doorbell here as well. We have a lot of activity, but the battery still lasts about 8 weeks between charges

      Hi GadgetGuy, thanks for posting a review. We regret to hear about your disappointment with the new Nest Doorbell (battery).

      Our priority is giving our customers choice and making devices for every home, and we’re continuing to support the Nest App. New Nest cameras and doorbells are exclusive to the Home app because we wanted to create an integrated experience. Users with older cameras can view their camera feeds in the Google Home app alongside the new Nest Doorbell and 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. Also, using the Google Home app provides you with a lot of benefits including access to Google's trusted security platform and access to other Google tools and with seamless integration with other Google devices.

      For further assistance, you can reach out to our support team anytime. We’d be more than happy to help you here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest

    The camera is great, I am impressed at how clear it is and also how it picks up movement so quickly (it notifies us even when someone has walked by on the sidewalk). My favorite feature is that it tells me both when a package is at the door and when the package is no longer seen.

    I’ve owned many nest products and most of my first party and 3rd party smart devices are managed through the Google Home App. I’ll start by saying the doorbell works as well as you’d expect as far as connectivity goes. I use it in battery mode only. I LOVE this doorbell. It looks terrific and works extremely well. The Google Home app isn’t my favorite way to manage nest products. I agree with most people that the nest app is easier and the cameras managed there was more intuitive, but the device STILL a joy to use from where I’m sitting. Also this is the first device I didn’t need a geek squad agent to install. It was incredibly easy to install, and while playing back the event history could be a little easier it’s an excellent product as it is now. I’m hopeful software updates will improve it.

    Surpassed my expectations! I was hesitant because this is not wired it’s Bluetooth and it has really impressed me. The picture is really clear and it picks up motion from a good distance away.
