    I was very excited when we first got this but after a couple months I was very disappointed in it. The charge that first lasted a month or more now is lucky to get 7 days. The network connection and loading of history is painfully slow compared to my other cameras and the sling loaded peg that helps hold it in place on the door mount is already stuck in so it no longer locks in place. We have a covered porch so it is not really exposed directly to the elements but still it gets worse every week.

      Hi there TechnoCatt, thanks for choosing Google Nest products. We´re sorry to hear about your disappointment with Nest Doorbell (Battery) after only using it for a couple of months.

      It is important to check 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.
      Nest doorbell battery life will depend on factors including activity, temperature, and camera settings that you select. Users can extend the battery life of their 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)

      Slow streaming of the video feed from Nest Doorbell (Battery) and connectivity issues are sometimes related to a possible congestion or weak signal from 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. If you verify the presence of congestion, contacting your Internet service provider to check your bandwidth and upgrade it if needed is highly recommended.

      We'd also like to check on the peg issue you are having. We'd be happy to work with you and see how we can help you best. You may contact our support team for further assistance by visiting us here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest

    On week 3 now, at around 75-80%. Showing 6 weeks of battery left. Seems to work well. I do note a slight connecting delay when someone rings the doorbell. Make sure you have a strong 5ghz connection nearby. Besides that, note that this does NOT work on your NEST APP. YOU MUST USE Google Home which is a bummer.

    Honestly, i would get the wired version of the doorbell. The battery version is slow and the camera isnt continuously recording. It feels like a giant waste of money.

      Hi there, SSzymanski. Thanks for sharing your insights with us. We're sorry to hear that you're experiencing these issues with your Nest Doorbell (Battery).

      If you're experiencing delays between your camera’s live video stream and what’s happening in real-time, we recommend trying some steps below that may be helpful with the issue:
      - If you have a lot of open apps on your phone, they can slow down its overall performance. Try closing some apps, including the Home app, and then re-open only the app you need to view your video.
      - If the delay is 10 seconds or more and it happens after you’ve been watching a video for a long time, go back to the app’s home screen and tap on your camera again to refresh the connection.
      - Try quitting the Home app and opening it again. If that doesn’t work, you can try restarting your phone or device you’re watching with.
      - Your camera’s video can also be delayed by a slow network connection. Try checking for possible sources of wireless interference.
      - Other devices in your home may be using a lot of bandwidth. You can temporarily stop a device’s bandwidth use manually by quitting an app or program, disconnecting it from Wi-Fi or ethernet, or by turning it off.
      - The video can be delayed if your camera, phone, tablet or computer is connected to a Wi-Fi extender, which adds extra relay time to any device that’s using it. In this case, connect your camera directly to your Wi-Fi router to help reduce the delay.

      To optimize the battery life of your Nest doorbell, it offers event video history and will detect and capture important activity at your door, so you can focus on the details that need your attention. If you are interested in 24/7 continuous video history, consider one of our wired Nest cameras or Nest Doorbell (wired).

      If you need further help with your Nest Doorbell (Battery), you may reach out to our support team via this help link: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest
