      Hey there, KdaFonzarelli. Thanks for letting us know about your experience with the Nest Doorbell (battery). We're glad you find the video quality to be cool. It's definitely a great feature for keeping an eye on your doorstep. Battery life can be a factor with wire-free video doorbells. The good news is that the Google Home app offers ways to optimize battery use, such as adjusting motion detection settings. However, if you'd prefer not to worry about charging, then the wired Nest Doorbell might be a better fit for your needs. It provides continuous power and eliminates the need to manage battery life. If you have more questions and concerns, we recommend reaching out to our dedicated team of specialists on the Google Help Center here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest

    Tried to give it a chance, installed yesterday and was replacing an old ring pro. Video quality on the nest is amazing but downfalls include not picking up any motion and the app. Unless there is someone immediately at your door, it won’t pick up cars, animals or any other movement. Even if I’m pulling into my driveway or leaving, even with the zones set and notifications turned on, the camera won’t pick up any motion in the history and won’t notify. Also the doorbell sets up in the google home app and not the nest app, where I have other camera’s, thermostat and protects, so that’s definitely a bust . Will be returning today and ordering the new ring pro 2.

    Much more attractive than the Ring doorbells. Somewhat difficult to snap into place on the mounting bracket. Have been using it for about a month and has dropped camera streaming connection quite a few times, so not the greatest reliability so far. Hopefully that will improve.

      Hi cougar9397, thanks for appreciating the design of our Nest Doorbell (Battery). We do apologize for the difficult experience in snapping it into place with the mounting bracket, and the connectivity drops.

      You may try out some suggested troubleshooting steps below:
      - Check your Nest Nest Doorbell (Battery)’s distance from the router or access point.
      - Restart your Nest Doorbell (Battery). Locate the reset button on the back of the camera. Press and hold for 5 seconds. Your camera will restart, and the status light will be steady, solid white.
      - Restart your router.
      - Check for interference. Almost every network is subject to wireless interference which can cause problems when connecting your camera to the Google Home app. Check for any wireless interference that may be caused by thick walls and floors, competing Wi-Fi networks, from other electronics in your home.
      - Check for possible congestion. Removing some of your devices that's connected to your network may help relieve some bandwidth space.

      If you will allow us, we'd like to work with you on improving your experience. You may reach out to our support team here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest

    Not my favorite. Battery needs to be charged every few days. Cuts off video. Has 3 minute max. My neighbor got in his car then drove away. It shows him get in the car after that there is no video. Very inconsistent.

      Hi Angela, thanks for your feedback on Nest Doorbell (Battery). We apologize for any inconvenience you may be having with having to recharge it every few days.

      The battery life for Nest Doorbell (Battery) 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)

      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 device and understand what may be causing it.

      We recommend contacting our support team for further assistance by visiting us here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest
