    I’ve owned many nest products and most of my first party and 3rd party smart devices are managed through the Google Home App. I’ll start by saying the doorbell works as well as you’d expect as far as connectivity goes. I use it in battery mode only. I LOVE this doorbell. It looks terrific and works extremely well. The Google Home app isn’t my favorite way to manage nest products. I agree with most people that the nest app is easier and the cameras managed there was more intuitive, but the device STILL a joy to use from where I’m sitting. Also this is the first device I didn’t need a geek squad agent to install. It was incredibly easy to install, and while playing back the event history could be a little easier it’s an excellent product as it is now. I’m hopeful software updates will improve it.

    Good field of view, good video quality, and is great at picking up movement and was easy to set up. I prefer the Nest to Ring door bells after using them.

    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

    Buy the Wired Nest Doorbell Instead

    The doorbell works well, the camera quality is on par with most, the ability to detect animals, packages, people, etc. is wonderful. It is sleek and stylish. My ONLY major gripe is that I bought the battery version thinking it would be useful to have a battery backup in case of a power outage (which happens frequently in my neighborhood). I was so wrong. I knew going into buying this that it will need to use the battery in order to operate. While it does let you hardwire the doorbell, the wiring only charges the battery and still uses battery power to operate. But it will not charge if temps are below freezing. And if temps are low (but not freezing) it will charge very, very slowly. I figured it would be no problem because in Connecticut I dont mind having to take the doorbell off to charge it once during the Winter. But my doorbell died within the first few weeks and after I tried to charge it, the hard woring stopped working entirely and now my doorbell is idle in perpetuity. Very frustrating experience. I wish I could return this product and buy the wired version instead. Everything else about this doorbell is easy and works as advertised.

    Easy to setup, easy install. The battery seems to be lasting a few weeks, re-charge takes about 3-5 hours. my only complaints so far are 1. Even using the angled back plate the view isn't angled enough to fully see someone standing at the front door. 2. the free 3 hour video review is great during the day but useless to see what happened over night. 3. the doorbell doesn't show up in the nest app, you have to use the google home app to get to the doorbell to view the camera feed/videos. And a personal annoyance, it seems the wired ability to apply seasonal sound themes is not an option on this version of the doorbell.

    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.

    We tried some other brands but didn’t find the features we wanted. This was very easy to install and has been great. I was worried about the clarity but it was even able to let me see snow flakes when it snowed last.

    Sleek and easy to install. Works well enough and battery drains seems to be minimal. Never used other video bells so I can’t compare. Videos are decent enough.

    This Doorbell is for everyone that does not have a wired system on their house. Net made it easy for me and so easy to install. Plug and play. Only inconvenience is the charging piece. But , its expected for a battery operated device. Highly recommend
