    Excellent camera. We switched from a different video doorbell and this is so much better. The clarity and sharpness are awesome. Cool feature that it remembers the faces and posts by name when they show up at the doorstep.

    What I like most about this product compared to its competitors are two things: first, it's awesome to have the flexibility of wiring it or using battery. Due to this, you can install this doorbell even in places that don't already have one without needing to run wires. Secondly, it records in portrait orientation with a 3:4 aspect ratio, meaning that it is more well-suited for a front door than a 16:9 camera. The only reason I can't give this product 5 stars is because the Google Home app could really use some improvement. The way the Nest app presents information is more intuitive. I find the Google Home app to be oversimplified and buggy. Also, I am not able to fully migrate my home from the Nest app to the Google Home app, because the Google Home app does not support the Nest protect smoke alarm, meaning that I have to use two different apps for my "Nest" devices. It's truly frustrating. They need to either make all devices work in the Google Home app or make all devices work in the Nest app. Right now, there are devices like this doorbell which only work in the Google Home app, and there are devices like the Nest Protect which only work in the Nest app. It's ridiculous, feels half baked, and frustrates long-time Nest loyalists. Google, please fix this ASAP!

    We originally tried the Arlo doorbell. We returned that in favor of this and it was the right decision. The video and audio is high quality and very little delay. If you have the google home app already it's a no brainer.

    This camera is great! This is my first smart doorbell and i have to say i love how easy it is to use. I also like the look of it more than say a Ring doorbell personally. As someone who uses google products, this is a must have for me. I am considering another camera for the back door.

    The battery operated version of Nest Doorbell was a perfect alternative to the wired version. We were awfully surprised by the length of each charge. The first charge lasted more than a week. Camera and audio quality are excellent.

    Exactly what I was looking for. Only frustrating thing is that it does not have (or I can not find) a setting so that familiar faces don't set off notifications. Ideally I would like to know when there is someone I don't know - I don't need to know every time the dog gets taken out.

    Excellent product, but too bad about the battery life on this. As in, if you turn off most alarms, it will not last very long. So it defeats the purpose of having a camera.

      Hello Eleazar, thanks for the feedback you shared about the Nest Doorbell (battery), and we’re sorry to learn that the battery life is less than ideal for you. You can extend the battery life of your doorbell by adjusting video quality, length of video clips, time between recorded events, and using activity zones to monitor specific areas. That way, you don’t have to charge the battery more often than you should. You may also consider connecting your camera to a power outlet with the included or optional power adapter for continuous power and to keep the battery charged. Please note that the power adapter included is not weatherproof and not intended for outdoor use, and you can use a compatible weatherproof cable (sold separately).

      If you need help with any concerns about the Nest doorbell, you’ll find us always available here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest
