    Have been using this door bell for almost 2 years and have never faced any issues. If you have google home then you get the notification. I have connected the door bell with the electric connection for infinite charging so that I dont have to take it down for charging it. If you are not planning to put it in place of your current door bell then you will have to take it down for charging every few month. You can easily add name to familiar faces and google home will announce their name whenever they will ring the bell. You can also assign zone so that you dont get notified for any movement outside the zone. Night view is also pretty decent, you are able to see clear image. However, the device performance i.e. battery consumption does get impacted with extreme cold temperature. Package identification is done by the bell. If well notify you if a package is delivered/ picked. If you have google home app then you get all notification on phone. Talking via doorbell is simple as well and this feature is handy if you are not at home.

    had ring for a couple years...the clear plastic infront of the camera started cracking from sun exposure. why they have a clear piece on top of the camera lens beats me..seeing that they are supposed to be exposed to nature 24/7.. bought the nest doorbell. its awesome..recognizes faces and google devices announces their name or it someone random is there..plus picture quality is hdr very clean and clear. .night vision/view is also superb.

    I went in to Best Buy for another doorbell but changed my mind to this one because I have the Google Homes throughout my house. I use the battery power and it is connected to my Google homes. When the doorbell rings it alerts me on the screen and on the speakers. So far love it! The only thing is the battery life to recharge but it is super easy to take off and charge. Picture quality on my phone app and the google homes is perfect. I would highly recommend.

      Hi Becca, thanks for choosing the new Google Nest Doorbell (Battery). We appreciate your feedback and we're glad to hear that you love it. However, we'd like to learn more about the short battery life you are experiencing with it.

      There are a few factors that may affect battery life including activity, temperature, and camera settings that you select. You may extend the battery life of your Nest doorbell 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 also recommend keeping a close eye and checking on 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 figure out the root cause. You may contact our support team for further assistance here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest

      Hello there Jonas, thanks for giving us feedback on Nest Doorbell (battery). It’s good to hear you find its picture quality great, and the setup and installation easy. Nest Doorbell (battery) is designed with a built-in rechargeable battery so that it's flexible to use with or without a wired power connection, which drives the device larger that other Nest doorbell versions. Also, please note that even when wired for continuous charging, it does not offer 10 days of 24/7 video history with Nest Aware Plus.To optimize battery life, it offers event video history and will detect and capture important activity at your door, so you can focus on the details that need your attention.

      Your feedback is important to us, and we’ll share this with the right team for future improvements. And if there’s anything we can be of help, you’re more than welcome to contact us anytime at: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest

    Easy install great if you already have Google products. I have been eyeing those door bell cameras an i got to say this is my fave. Pros: camera has a battery so it does not go down during power outage. Good video quality. Good a detention of people even at 20 ft cons: larger then most this this was the size of a small phone so peak a colors you really like. Video only last 3 hrs so if you get. Notification you better view it or loose it.

      Hi Hugo333, we appreciate your feedback on Nest Doorbell (battery), and we’re glad to hear it’s your fave. Nest Doorbell (battery) is designed with a built-in rechargeable battery so that it's flexible to use with or without a wired power connection. Nest Doorbell (wired) requires it to be continuously connected to power with wires, which enables it to have a smaller profile.

      Nest has long been focused on delivering quality products to our customers, and on giving our customers value for the price, including three hours of event history right out of the box for the first time ever. On-device processing also gives our customers smart alerts and Activity Zones, which historically have required a subscription. For example, Nest Cameras have person, animal, and vehicle alerts, and Nest Doorbell offers all of this plus package alerts.

      Also, there are two new camera subscriptions available for you if you want more than 3 days of events video history. With a Nest Aware subscription, you’ll get 30 days of event video history, and with Nest Aware Plus, you’ll get 60 days. Nest Doorbell (battery), even when wired for continuous charging, does not offer 10 days of 24/7 video history with Nest Aware Plus.

      You’re always welcome to visit us here if you have any questions or concerns: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest

    The video doorbell works great. The battery life could be better since I cannot hard wire it in. The weather seems to affect the battery life alot. but with saying that it does charge quickly and is easy to remove and mount. The picture is clear and when talking through it the sound is great.

    This camera gives a good wide view and can easliy be resized while viewing with a quick pinch. I like that it opens fairly quickly with the battery option , which isnt true with all cameras. Wired is the best but if that isn't an option, this fits the bill. On sale price was great too. Very easy to set up and install with google home. Google home easy very easy to use. Another great feature is, that this camera comes with everything you need to connect this with the wire if you do have one. Just make sure your transformer is giving you the right voltage. If you need one, they are readily available

    I LOVE this video. We live part-time in two locations and having this doorbell has been incredibly helpful to see what's going on. I am amazed at how much it actually sees in the camera. It's great at night as well. I have a Ring in our other house (that was left) and when it dies, I'll replace it with a Google doorbell. It's really nice to have everything in one "google home" app so you can see cameras, wifi, doorbells, thermostats, etc. all in one place.

    Pros: - Very long battery life (=>4 months, easily) - USB-C for fast charging - Google home works perfect - Consistency with notifications, face and package recognition - Mount installation easy and secure - Camera to mount installation easy, robust, and feels high quality; when pulling or twisting the camera it has no wobble and feels very sturdy - Removal from mount easy with the provided key - LED ring around doorbell button is presented nicely Cons: - Wish affordable doorbell cams existed with higher resolutions - Wish these included an indoor speaker to make the doorbell chime audible inside home

      Thanks for posting a review, JacobS! We appreciate you pointing out the things you like about the Nest Doorbell (battery) and we hear your concerns about having doorbell options with higher resolutions along with having an included speaker to work as a chime. We've taken note of your feedback for future improvements. Meanwhile, we suggest adjusting your cameras’ 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 cameras. And whichever level you pick, your camera will automatically adjust its resolution and compression according to how much bandwidth is available.

    Four feet was the recommended height to install the doorbell, but I installed it higher due to the previous doorbell. The height did not cause any problem with seeing packages or people when approaching the front door. Weather started to get cold in MA, so battery is fading faster then expected. The doorbell is bigger then I thought. My wife has an Apple phone, so I was able to share Google Home with her which gave her access to the doorbell (and smart lights).

    I love this doorbell. We just bought our house and don't have a doorbell already hardwired so the batter option is great. This one has great color options and looks so sleek and modern. I've had absolutely. no problems with it. It spots people immediately. You can save known people in familiar faces. The doorbell rings over my google nest speakers right away. I almost didn't buy this based on other reviews but I realized that what most people didn't like was not being able to use the nest app. This was no issue for me because I have many google nest products and I've only been using the google app for these. I love that I can control my speakers, thermostat, doorbell, etc. from one app. I have no problems using this app. Overall the picture from the doorbell is very clear and setting it up was so easy. I have nothing but good things to say about it and I was a bit skeptical at first based on other's reviews. If you already have a google set up then this is an obvious choice for a doorbell. I didn't need to buy speakers since I already have 2 nest speakers and a home mini. If you don't have a speaker I guess you might have to buy at least one to hear the doorbell inside unless you want to solely rely on phone notifications. I could see that being a downside for some. I love all of my google nest smart home stuff and was glad to add this to my collection!
