    This doorbell couldn’t capture all events. I have both this doorbell and another wyze v3 facing the front of my house. The cheap 35 dollar Wyze cam v3 can capture all the people walking by but this 150 dollor doorbell miss half of those events. Considering its price, it should work better than this. Very disappointed at this product.

    I’m really not sure what google was thinking. I really like the design and size but other than that i am not impressed… i own 4 of the 1st gen nest doorbells and have been very pleased with the durability, quality, and features, but this is a major downgrade. I would not recommend this product, at all.

    The life of the battery would only last about 18 hours is supposed to last a whole year. They said because I had a high traffic area. Well, what's the point of having a battery-powered camara that only lasted 18 hours. Not worth the money folks.

      Hi Murphy, thanks for sharing your feedback on Nest Doorbell (battery), and we’re sorry to hear that your experience with its battery life is less than ideal.

      The battery life will depend on factors including activity, temperature, and doorbell settings that you select, and 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

      Here are some typical scenarios for the Nest Doorbell (battery):
      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 can also check for other reasons why the battery only lasts for 18 hours, and if you haven’t yet, please contact us anytime here for further isolation and troubleshooting: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest

    This has to be one of the worst systems out there for customer support. My system crashed and I got a few of the 20 Google items i purchased for my house and there is ZERO support for this system. ZERO. Nothing they have on line follows all the way through and they tell you to call my internet supplier. There is nothing wrong with my internet. The problem is the MESH network. I have one hooked direct to my gateway works as do my four screens but I cannot get anything else to hook up I would have given support a negative star. BEWARE

      Hi BallerStatus, thanks for posting your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that you’re having connectivity issues with Nest Doorbell (Battery).

      Your camera or doorbell might disconnect when it’s slightly out of range of your Wi-Fi. It can also disconnect due to wireless interference from large furniture and appliances, walls and floors, and other electronics. If possible, move your Wi-Fi router closer to your doorbell, and move objects near your doorbell or router that might cause wireless interference.

      If the issue persists, we’d like the opportunity to talk and investigate what’s causing the issue. Feel free to contact our support team here:  https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp madebygoogle

    The release latch that allows the doorbell to connect to the mounting bracket broke making the doorbell useless shortly after the warranty expired. It's clearly a design flaw to be use such a flimsy plastic part for something that needs to be manipulated so frequently.

      Hello there, thanks for taking the time to let us know of your issues with the Nest Doorbell (battery), and we're sorry to learn of your poor experience with its performance.

      Nest doorbell issues can be related to several factors. We’d be able to identify the underlying issues better if we can get more details about this. Meanwhile, if you're experiencing a spotty connection or weak signal, we recommend checking your Wi-Fi network to see if your bandwidth is congested. This may happen if you have too many devices connected on the same bandwidth or if your network package is not enough to handle the data traffic on the network. Removing other connected devices to your Wi-Fi may relieve network congestion. If your doorbell is mounted too far from your Wi-Fi router, you may need to extend your Wi-Fi network’s range using an extender, boosters or additional Wi-Fi access points. Try restarting your router to reset your internet connection. You should also restart any Wi-Fi range extenders or repeaters that you have. If these didn’t help, you may need to restart or reset your Nest doorbell following the steps here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/9252162

      If the issues persist, it would be best to get in touch with our specialists for further assistance here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest

      Hi mingo, 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
