    Easy installation. Camera has a wide view of the porch so you can easily see a large section of the space in front of the camera. Integration with existing google products allow a “doorbell” to be heard .

    This has been an answer to our prayers for a great smart doorbell. Not having any electrical run to the door but this was super easy to install and paired great with everything else Google. Highly recommend.

    Super difficult to install and I'm pretty handy. I ended up paying $100 to have it installed. It was installed wired up. Despite that fact, the battery drained after a week. The little tool to "just pop it off" the bracket doesn't do anything. I watched a number of YouTube videos on how to get that thing off the side of my house. Nada. You can't take it off. Hence you can't charge it either. Nor can you take it off the wall without basting it out of the stucco. Thank God the installation was warrantied, but now I have an other appointment to wait for, so they can come and fix it. I just want them to take it off so I can return this piece of crap. There are many cheaper options out there, don 't waste your money! I thought this system was top of the line and easy to use. Yeah, not so much. I've had two different systems beforehand and this is by far the worst.

      Hi GlobeTrotter, we truly appreciate your feedback on Nest Doorbell (Battery), and it’s unfortunate to learn of your difficult experience with the installation, and with removing it from the wall to charge it despite being wired.

      To remove the doorbell from the base, aside from using the release tool included in the box, you can also use a flathead screwdriver into the hole at the top of the doorbell, then pull the doorbell up and away from the wall.

      We understand that you want to take it off so you can return it. But if you're willing to give us a chance to investigate why the battery drained despite having it wired, visit us anytime at the following link and we’ll do our best to help improve your experience: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest

    This product worked as we had hoped it would. Works exactly as I had hoped. We need to charge it about once a month or so but it full charges in a few hours and isn’t a problem.

      Hey there, KarenG. Thanks for the feedback. We’re glad that you find the Nest Doorbell (battery) good, but we’re sorry to hear that its mounting bracket is below your preference.

      The Nest Doorbell (battery) comes with a wedge you can use to adjust the doorbell's camera angle if it's located in a corner, and it can angle your doorbell horizontally up to 20°. To get the camera view you want, you have to adjust the doorbell’s position by hand. Use the Home app to check the camera’s view so you can adjust the position from the mounting plate or wedge if you need to. To use the wedge for a better camera view, make sure to install the wedge then position the baseplate plate over the wedge with the G positioned upright and use the wedge screws to secure it in place. Then attach the doorbell to the baseplate, align the circle at the bottom of the doorbell to the hole at the bottom of the baseplate, and push the doorbell in then down until you feel it click into place.

      For other concerns about the mounting bracket, please visit us at the following link so we can learn how to help improve your experience: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest

    Video quality is pretty good, and easy to set up. The bad is the battery would need recharged every couple days. Then after a couple weeks it just completely stopped working all together.

      Hi there, thanks for sharing a review to let us know of your experience with using the Nest Doorbell (Battery), and we’re sorry to hear that it completely stopped working altogether after a couple of weeks. You may consider connecting your doorbell to a power outlet with the included or optional power adapter. 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.

      Our dedicated team can help and guide you with further isolation and troubleshooting. Please contact us anytime here and we’ll definitely do our best to provide a better experience for you: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest

      Hey there, drip. Thanks for posting your feedback. We’re glad that your Nest Doorbell (Battery) works as expected, and we hear your concern about its video quality.

      You can try adjusting your doorbell’s video quality that can improve the resolution. The higher the video quality setting you choose, the sharper and more detailed your footage can be, but it also uses more of your internet bandwidth. This setting lets you choose the maximum video quality for your doorbell. And whichever level you pick, your doorbell will automatically adjust its resolution and compression according to how much bandwidth is available. Check this link to learn more: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/9218596

      We’d be happy to share your feedback with the right team for future improvements. In the meantime, please feel free to let us know if you need further assistance by visiting us here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest

    If you have sun that shines directly on this doorbell, it will shut off when it gets too hot. It's better than the other black doorbell. If the doorbell is connected to a powered chime then this doorbell doesn't require to be removed and charged.

      Hi there! Thank you for sharing your experience with the Nest Doorbell Battery. We appreciate your feedback, both on the positive aspects and the challenges you've encountered. The Nest Doorbell is designed to be weatherproof and can withstand temperatures ranging from -4°F to 122°F. However, if the doorbell is exposed to direct sunlight for an extended period of time, it may overheat and shut down temporarily. This is a normal safety feature to prevent the doorbell from becoming damaged. If you ever encounter further issues or if there's anything specific, please feel free to reach out to our dedicated team of specialists here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest
