      Hi jloonz, thanks for sharing your insights with us. We´re glad to hear that you had an easy time setting up Nest Doorbell (Battery). We do apologize for the connection loss from your Wi-Fi network.

      We recommend checking for possible congestion in your Wi-Fi network. Removing some of your connected devices can help free up some bandwidth space. You may then check to see if you will still experience the same connectivity issue. You may also check for possible sources of interference such as the thick walls and appliances in your home. Once you verify the presence of congestion, we recommend contacting your Internet service provider to check your connection and upgrade it if needed.

      We can help you better with your support needs, if you can reach out to our support team using this link: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest

      Hi Magic, thanks for reaching out to our support page. We're sorry to hear about any confusion you may have encountered with the battery information for your Nest Doorbell (Battery).

      Nest Doorbell (Battery) is a battery-powered video doorbell that will require charging once the battery is low. Battery life will depend on factors including activity, temperature and selected camera settings. 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. Here are some typical scenarios:
      - Busy – About 1 month of battery life (about 25–30 recorded events per day)
      - Typical – About 2.5 months of battery life (about 13–16 recorded events per day)
      - Quiet – About 6 months of battery life (about 2–5 recorded events per day)

      However, if you wish to have a wired version of Nest Doorbell (Battery), we recommend checking the Nest Doorbell (Wired) model here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/9259110

      Here are some recommended steps to help you with the live stream, delayed notifications and intermittent live video feeds issues:
      - Nest cameras typically require between 0.8 Mbps to 4.0 Mbps per device to upload properly, depending on the video quality setting you selected. You may also check for possible congestion in your Wi-Fi network. Removing some of your connected devices can help free up some bandwidth space. You may then check to see if you will still experience the same connectivity issue. Should you verify congestion, we recommend contacting your Internet service provider to test and check your connection, and possibly upgrade it if needed.
      - You may also check for possible sources of interference such as the thick walls and appliances in your home.

      If the issue persists, we'd be happy to check the issue further with you. Please feel free to contact our support team using this link: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest

    Despite having strong wifi no more than 15 feet away through a wood wall, I get an error more times than not when trying to connect to the live feed. It will also often loose connection for hours at a time despite the signal being strong. Randomly, notifications are very delayed, and it takes even longer for the video of events in the app history to show up even after the notification, sometimes. Battery life also estimates about 3 WEEKS, not months, with very little activity (one event per day) and under nominal conditions. The only thing that seems to consistently work is the doorbell button itself. Not at all worth the price. Maybe at $50.

      Hi Donnie, thanks for sharing your experience. We’re sorry to hear that you’re having multiple issues with your Nest Doorbell (Battery).

      For connectivity issues, you may try checking the following:
      - Check the location and distance of the Nest Doorbell (Battery). Make sure the device is within the range of your router.
      - Check for possible sources of interference such as microwave ovens, refrigerator or other devices in your home that may weaken Wi-Fi signals.
      - If you have a dual band router, try setting up Nest Doorbell (Battery) on either the 2.4GHz or 5GHz bands and see which band is more stable.
      - Outdated phone and Google Home app.

      For the battery, it 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. Here are some typical scenarios:
      - Busy - About 1 month battery life (about 25 - 30 recorded events per day)
      - Typical - About 2.5 months battery life (about 13 - 16 recorded events per day)
      - Quiet - About 6 months battery life (about 2 - 5 recorded events per day)

      If you´re willing to try, we recommend checking the frequency of events (per day) that you get with your Nest Doorbell (Battery). If the short battery life isn´t related to the frequency of events, then we may need to have a closer look at your Nest Doorbell (Battery) and understand what may be causing it. You may contact our support team for further assistance here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest

    Though the google home app leaves much to be desired I had a generally positive experience with this doorbell for 12 months. About 2 weeks after the warranty expired, the unit randomly disconnected in the middle of the day and completely bricked with no power. Google says its an internal hardware issue and refuses to address the issue further as it is recently out of warranty by a couple weeks. They also refuse to acknowledge if any updates were recently sent that might have caused an issue. They further claimed they have no records of other such issues but a quick google search will tell you that is not accurate. Overall, not worth the money for barely a year of service. Also, remember when your doorbell breaks to cancel your Nest Aware subscription because they'll keep charging you even if you have nothing to use it on.

      Hi RobertB, thanks for your insights on Nest Doorbell (Battery). It really is unfortunate to hear that it stopped working right after the warranty expired. We can only imagine how inconvenient this may have been for you. If you're willing, we may need to have a much closer look at the issue you are having with Nest Doorbell (Battery). This will help us in identifying the root cause and give us a better idea on how we can help you best.
