    No issues whatsoever on setting up/recording. Easy to use, connection to the wifi was no problem. Only problem which is known is just the battery, but it last me around two weeks which is no issue for me since it charges pretty quick.

    Smh. I have multiple Nest IQ outdoor cams as well as the first gen outdoor cams. I love those cams and the Nest App. I also have Arlo cams which are good but I prefer Nest cams because of the continuous recording and the Nest App. I also have multiple Nest smoke detectors and Nest Protect with sensors all over. A great setup. Now, I bought this doorbell knowing it wouldn't record 24/7. Fine. However, the fact that it doesn't work with the Nest app, and that you have to use Google Home, is really irritating. Google home is terrible in comparison. It's an ugly app, layout is terrible and it doesn't allow you to anything wi the your older Nest products except for live view. You still control all the older cams with the Nest App. On a basic level they could have at least integrated Google Home with the older devices so it is fully functional. It is obnoxious that they did this. That said, The doorbell quality is good... Really good and it looks great. However, not have 24/7 video recording is problematic because it misses events. I've had deliveries that didn't get recorded with sensitivity set to high. I may return for the older one but he old one is missing the smart features. I feel like everything with Nest/Google is half done. One one hand it looks great, hardware is great but app, firmware and everything else is a mess. Thought I found the perfect setup with all my Nest devices but they've fragmented their own products like two different security cam companies. Ugh.

    Surpassed my expectations! I was hesitant because this is not wired it’s Bluetooth and it has really impressed me. The picture is really clear and it picks up motion from a good distance away.

      Hello MusicLover, thanks for sharing your feedback with us, and we’re glad that you find the picture quality of the Nest Doorbell (battery) awesome. We’re sorry to hear that the battery life has not exceeded your expectations.

      If you’ve connected your Nest Doorbell (battery) to your existing doorbell wiring, the wires don’t directly power the doorbell. Instead, the battery is trickle charged by the power that comes through the wires, and the doorbell runs off the battery charge. At temperatures between -4°F (-20°C) and 32°F (0°C), the doorbell can continue to work, but the battery will drain because it can’t be charged. If the battery drains completely, the doorbell will shut down, and you’ll need to bring it inside to be charged. So if the temperature is below 32°F (0°C) and the battery is low, bring it inside to a warm place, preferably at room temperature. The battery can start to charge slowly once its temperature rises past 32°F (0°C). It will charge faster when it warms up.

      Your feedback counts as we’re always on the lookout for opportunities to improve our products and services. And if you run into any other concerns around the features or performance of the doorbell, contact us anytime here so we can help:: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest

    My one complaint about the battery version is you can't record 24/7 like the hardwire version can, even if you hardwire the battery version. Otherwise, its an excellent doorbell cam. Clear video, response time in the app is great, and the wifi outage/local recording feature is perfect.

    This doorbell by google is my favorite google nest product. The video and sound quality is super clear. Making two way conversations a breeze. You can use this for surveillance so it adds a whole new layer. It even recognizes faces, if you pay for the premium service. This doorbell is top tier and light years better than the Ring we replaced with this.

    I bought the battery version so that if I want to remove it, it's not too difficult and won't have to mess with wiring. Plus, if it ever stopped working I still have my normal doorbell. Anyways, aside from that, I love being notified of when my packages arrive at my door. You can set it to where it only covers your porch area. I say that because it CAN see out to the street. So far it's given me peace of mind and added security knowing I can see what's going on outside my front door without actually going up to the door. With my house there's an annoying side window where folks could peek in if they wanted. Now with this doorbell I don't have to worry about that. The google home app works well with this. Overall it's pretty straightforward and to the point. I chose this over the blink/ring products from amazon because those just seem cheaply made with poor quality control. These google products are well-made and google ensures they are made to standard.

    Good video doorbell

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    This is a good video doorbell. But missing out on features. I live in IL and it does not have face detection available since IL passed a law to prohibit this feature. You also pretty much need to subscribe. The free version is 3 hrs span. So if something happens at night while you are a sleep, you won't be able to know what happen if it happened over 3 hrs ago. Also, wished it had 24/7 recordings like prior. The good things is the sensor is really good. My other family member has the Ring but many times it doesn't sense motion when standing in their porch. The nest can detect is animal, person, or package. And if package left the camera's view.
