    I have this doorbell wired to my existing doorbell wiring, and it has been decent so far. I like that Google does not require a subscription to Nest Aware to use the product, but without the subscription there are some limitations. The recordings are only available for 3 hours, so if you miss it within that window, you won't have access to the footage. Overall, have no issues.

      Hi Dashcam, thanks for sharing your feedback with us, and we’re sorry to hear that your Nest Doorbell (Battery) drains a little quickly.

      Your Nest doorbell could be detecting a lot of activities, as the battery life will depend on factors including activity, temperature, and doorbell settings that you select. 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. This link might be helpful: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/10901611

      Also, if you have to charge the battery more often than you should, you may consider connecting your doorbell to a power outlet with the included or optional power adapter. Please note that the power adapter included with the Nest Doorbell (battery) is not weatherproof and not intended for outdoor use. You can also connect your Nest doorbell to the doorbell system wires if you have one. Connecting to continuous power will keep the battery charged.

      We may be able to check for other reasons why the battery drains quickly, so we can find a way to help improve your experience. You may contact us anytime here for further isolation and troubleshooting: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest

    The battery version is better than the wired version. When you compare it’s ability to reconnect when power goes out or Wi-Fi has to be reset. They both work the same when they do work this one’s less maintenance.

    I prefer this version to the last. The resolution works better. Overall aesthetic is much more contemporary and appealing. I do wish there were more options for mounting at angles both horizontal and vertical. I prefer to have it wired and this requires it be partly on door trim using spacers and/or aftermarket mounts makes it look cheap.

    Love it so far. You do need to mesh this with a nest or other system for a chime. Greta alternative if you don't have a wired unit. Excellent picture quality

    The picture and sound were great on the device. The notifications was poor on device. It missed several notifications and also had long delays in sending the notifications. The cool down period was not good. I went back to ring and very satisfied.

      Hi Nina, thanks for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We're sorry to hear about your disappointment with the battery life for Nest Doorbell (Battery).

      The battery life for Nest Doorbell (Battery) will depend 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. 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)

      We suggest 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 device and understand what may be causing it.
