    Overall this is a great video doorbell with amazing night video. It sends a msg to your phone app but it would be great if you had the choice to have a video popup notification also? My doorbell just went through its 2nd winter and the battery is holding a charge for about a week now which is disappointing. recommend buying 2+ year extended warranty from BB to fix this issue. sadly I did not so I am stuck charging it weekly and it most likely will not hold any charge soon at this rate. Other than that, this product is amazingly good for the price.

      Hello there, kathy. Thanks for sharing your feedback, and we appreciate that you like the Nest Doorbell (battery). We hear your concerns about having video popup notifications, and about its battery life during extreme cold weather.

      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. The battery can start to charge slowly once its temperature rises past 32°F (0°C). It will charge faster when it warms up.

      We understand that having video popup notifications can be ideal for your needs, and we’d be happy to share this with the right team for future improvements. For any other questions or concerns, simply visit us here and we’ll gladly help: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest

    We already had the Google Mesh Wifi set up at home and this was very easy to add to the ecosystem. The video is very clear and we were able to have it use our existing old-school doorbell which was a nice feature. It has already aided in finding lost packages and deterring crime within 3 weeks of purchase. Pairing smart devices requires downloading the manufacturer's app in addition to the Google Home app but the devices are working seamlessly through the Google Home app and through voice commands. I also appreciate that it provides better data security over Ring. The only thing that is a downside is that your MUST have the Google Home app and cannot access the features/setup through a regular computer interface.

    Very slim, sleek, and easy to install. Picture quality is terrific. The only downside is that it doesn't link to a doorbell chime. I had to buy a google mini for the doorbell notifications (in addition to the notifications received on my phone via the google home app). Very happy overall with the purchase.

      Hi Kevinm, we greatly appreciate your feedback on Nest Doorbell (Battery). We’re glad that you’re happy overall with the purchase, but are sorry to hear that it doesn’t link to a doorbell chime. To use an indoor chime, you need to have the Nest Doorbell (battery) connected to wire terminals. The Nest Doorbell (battery) can run on battery power alone or it can be connected to your doorbell system wires for continuous charging. While the Nest doorbell can replace most wired doorbells, there are some cases where the doorbell system either doesn’t give enough power or gives too much power. You should check that your current doorbell can be replaced by the Nest doorbell. Here’s a link with a guide for wired installation: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/10732535

      You can also visit us anytime for any other questions or concerns, we have help always available here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest

    Good, but some small annoying things... It was easy to install and track activity at your door and getting alerts on your phone when someone rings the bell or delivers a package. We assumed that this would work with the Nest application, but the battery powered doorbell does not. You must use the Google Home app instead. Adding a remote chime (so you can hear when someone rings the bell) is also not straightforward. Options are more limited for the batter powered doorbell here as well. We have a lot of activity, but the battery still lasts about 8 weeks between charges

    The battery life is less than 2 weeks and it’s a 5 hr charge time. I feel like I’m constantly charging the doorbell. The picture quality is good and the google home app is easy to use. I would get the wired one instead of the battery one if I could return it!

      Hello there, Golfmommy. Thank you for sharing your concern about your Nest Doorbell (battery). We're sorry to hear that your experience with the device didn't meet your expectations.

      The Google Nest Doorbell (battery) is designed to run on batteries without the need for frequent recharging. You can also choose to connect it to your doorbell system's wires, which will use low voltage to gradually charge the battery (with certain limitations). Check this link for more details: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/10899820

      If you think that the battery life is significantly lower than expected, we can help you check for other reasons why it’s behaving differently. Please contact us anytime here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest
