    This was an easy installation and setup in the app. The camera has great clarity and covers a large area.

    So close to five stars. I have the wired doorbell, and it is totally a 5 star device. The reason tthe battery operated version is ranked lower, is because of how quickly the battery depletes compared to my previous Ring doorbell. Otherwise it is a solid device with good software.

      Hey there, mturbanek! Thanks for the feedback, and we’re glad you like the Nest Doorbell (battery). We’re sorry to hear your experience with the battery life is below your expectations.

      The battery life depends on factors including activity, temperature, and camera settings that you select. You can extend the battery life by adjusting video quality, length of video clips, time between recorded events, and using activity zones to monitor specific areas. Visit this link for more details: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/10901611

      Here are some typical scenarios.
      Busy: About 1.5 months battery life (about 20 - 25 recorded events per day)
      Typical: About 3 months battery life (about 9 - 12 recorded events per day)
      Quiet: About 7 months battery life (about 2 - 4 recorded events per day)

      If the battery life is significantly lower than expected, please contact us anytime and we’d be happy to help: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest

    Excellent picture and sound quality. Helped to identify teenage pranksters in the neighborhood. Without subscription, video is only kept for three hours. There is a dip in quality with night vision mode. Battery lasts 3-4 months with maximum quality.

    Looks and Works Well... But NOT on the Nest App!!!

    BE CARFUL!!! If you intend to add this device to your existing Nest App, IT WILL NOT WORK!!! The door bell works well, installs easily and the vidieo & notification functions are good. However, It will only operate on the Google Home app and will NOT integrate in the existing Nest app. The online forums seem to indicate that Google isn't interested in makin that happen at all. I was seriously dissappointed in having to use two separate apps for my Nest products, but if you are ok using the Google Home app going forward, this device works as advertised.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    I have stuck with nest products for years, just moved and got this new doorbell. Buyer should note that battery does not let you have 24/7 recording like the wired ones do.

    Rather than spend $300 to repair my original doorbell wiring, this Google Nest was the perfect replacement. It is very good at sensing activity at the front door, and I can view the activity from my phone, which is helpful when someone isn't home. I'm not that technically savvy, and very happy that it's easy to use.

    been waiting for a battery operated door bell to work with our smart home stuff. our first one had an issue where the battery would not last longer than a week. documentation said it should last 1-3 months. after swapping it out at best buy which was super easy . the new one show a battery life of 3 months left and it been on for over a month alone now.

    Purchased as a replacement for my Ring camera that had died. I'm full invested in Google's ecosystem so it made sense. Love the integration into Google Home. Only thing I would improve is a replaceable battery.

    This is my second time owning this product. I would of gave it a 5 star, but the first one I own, died on me after a year and a half. Was reat bummed with that and hope this one stays strong. If it does, I would recommend this product to anyone.
