    very satisfied by this product so far. the battery life is long enough (around 3-4 weeks after full recharge); the image and sound quality is good and the sensor is good enough to catch any movement in the view area. the compatibility with the google home system is great, same for the setup. recommended.

    Something needs to be done about the mounting

    There is a delay between someone pushing the button and a notification coming in through Google speakers. Which would not be that big of a deal, but it is impossibly painful to mount., which you have to do every couple of weeks, when the device needs to be re-charged. I phoned the doorbell for a couple of months, had to charge four times. Finally, it dismounted and broke.

    I had been searching for the right doorbell that can distinguish between strangers and familiar faces, and this one can. In addition, it can even alert you of a package and alerts you again once the package is gone. I seemed easy to be removed/stolen, hopefully won't happen to me.

    I don't seem to have battery drain issues like others on here. It will tell you the charge percentage and an estimated time til recharge. One of the things I don't like is that the light around the button and the green light activates everytime motion is detected. You cannot turn this off.

    Good effort but could be executed better. For the size you would think the battery on this would last forever. We were lucky we got 3 weeks out of it. Not sure what settings people used to get months and months, maybe only record when the door bell is pressed but we like to monitor packages so the battery drains so fast. We ended up hardwiring it and so far it's a huge improvement though for some reason the battery still drains. I would get the hardwired version if I had to do it again.

      Hi Rick, thanks for the feedback you shared about the Nest Doorbell (battery), and we’re sorry to hear that your experience with the battery life has been less than ideal. 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. Check this link for more details: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/10901611

      Meanwhile, we’d like to find out why the battery still drains when hardwired.

    Was looking for a way to see who is at the front door, without a need to touch the electric wires and existing doorbell. The new Google Nest wireless doorbell truly exceeded expectations. It announces who is at the door, recognizes delivery people with packages, also detects familiar faces, etc.

    When it works, it's fine. Not happy about the subscription service; that's a hidden cost you don't realize you need. Holds a charge, okay, but not great. I only got it because everything else is Google brand in my house.

    I had the older Nest doorbell, when this one came out, I purchased it immediately because i love the sleek modern clean look and the color matches my house. A security camera door bell is a must these days and having one from google is the best especially if you have the nest display and nest app.
