    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!

    Great doorbell camera with caveats

    I was in need of a door camera and I went with this one because I knew it would integrate with my other Google products. My biggest gripe about it is having to use the Google Home app to set everything up and there's not a ton of features. You need the nest plus subscription to review videos more than 3 hours old, otherwise they just go away. I haven't had experience with other ring doorbells but I can say that this was great for my use case.

      Hey there, DeannaM. Thanks for leaving feedback on the Nest Doorbell (battery). We’re glad that you like its integration with your home display in addition to its video and sound quality. We’re sorry to hear that its performance is less than ideal, and we hear your concern about having a wider field of view.

      Event detection depends on the camera settings that you select. You can choose which events your camera or doorbell can detect and record (people, motion, package, etc.). From there, you (and each member of your home) can decide which of those events to get notifications for. If an event is turned off, you won’t get notifications for that kind of activity. You can also change the settings like adjusting video quality, wake-up sensitivity, length of video clips, time between recorded events, and using activity zones to monitor specific areas.

      We understand that having a wider camera view can be ideal for you. However, unlike some other video doorbells, Nest Doorbell (battery) has a 145° diagonal field of view at 3:4 aspect ratio. It is intended so you can see people from head to toe, and packages left on the ground.

      You’re always welcome to visit us here if additional support is needed: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
