    Oops, I didn't realize there are 2 versions, I meant to get the wired one apparently. With that being said, this thing is a beast! It's like 30% bigger than my Arlo doorbell. I have yet to install it but I have the same issue as I did going to Arlo, they don't make these things for legacy doorbell retrofits, so my house was built in the 80's and had a standard size hole and mounts in stucco, and I'm not comfortable drilling and mounting in stucco, these doorbells don't ever account for that. Also, a major minus for this is that the battery won't charge off the existing doorbell wiring. If the current transformer can power my Arlo why can't it feed charge to the Nest's battery? I don't need another thing around to unmount and charge periodically. I'm sure this is great for places that have no doorbell or for alternate locations, but not a great start to this product, may return for the wired version

    The nest door bell can be wired or battery powered. The battery seems to last for a few weeks if you record a lot of footage. The quality is also very good plus adding it to Google Home is pretty simple.

    Works as advertised with a smart home setup, the Smart IQ feature to tell you the names of who exactly is at the door is great, just needs a bit of tweaking with more control/options of the app.

      HiTerriM, we’re glad to have your feedback on Nest Doorbell (battery), and we hear your concern about having a longer battery life.

      Battery life depends on factors including activity, temperature, and camera settings that you select. You can extend the battery life of your camera 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 doorbell to a power outlet with the optional power adapter for continuous power and to keep the battery charged. Check 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 you find yourself in need of any help or guidance, please don’t hesitate to let us know here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest

    We purchased the nest wifi video doorbell (battery operated) because the previous owner of our house had cut out the wires for the existing doorbell. I was looking forward to the camera being on the same Google Home account as the rest of our devices in the house. Over the past year, I've learned that the video quality is poor compared to Ring. The battery life is poor (made worse by extreme heat/cold ambient temperatures) also made even worse by the fact that you have to remove the entire device to recharge (which can take up to 10+ hours to recharge). Even with ideal weather, the battery only lasts a little over a week. We have upgraded to a Ring Battery Plus camera that has an easy to remove/replace battery so we can have a backup fully charged. Also, the Ring has better image quality and a wider view angle. Skip the Nest, buy a Ring.

    Great product, have had it for almost a month now with heavy rain and at least 3-5 events per day and still with half the battery. The quality seems really good and the installation was a breeze since I don't have to wire it. Overall really happy with the purchase.

    Installation and setup was easy. Let's me know if someone is on the porch even if they don't ring the doorbell. This is handy since most delivery drivers don't knock when they leave a package It is nice to be able to go back and review activity.

    I love this thing! I was somewhat skeptical on the use of it at first, but it has been a great addition. I hardwired it so can't speak to the battery life. The picture quality is excellent, even at night (though I do have landscape lighting that helps).
