    Does the job nicely. No major complaints. It does trip alert on every car coming by our shared driveway. I tied the doorbell press to announcement on our Google mini speakers, which give the 'Somebody is at the door' announcement broad coverage in our multi-floor house, in addition to an alert on our phones. I need to get into the habit of regular recharging, rather than waiting for the battery to go dead. Dead battery - no doorbell.

    Good quality camera. My Google Home tells me when someone rings the doorbell. BUT!!! I get absolutely no notifications on my phone when I'm away, which is when I need to know. I've looked through all the "helps" and I believe turned on all notifications in my Google Home and Nest Apps. So very frustrated that this feature will not work

      Hi BevBebereia, thank you for posting your review here. It's unfortunate to hear that you're experiencing some issues with your Nest Doorbell (battery) when it comes to sending you notifications when you're away. We suggest checking If you removed your Nest Doorbell from your Nest home and added it back. If this is the case, then you need to set up that camera’s alerts again. If you've done this step already, please make sure that your phone is signed into the app for the push notification to work. If the issue still persists, then we recommend that you reach out to our support team and let us help you with finding a better resolution. Please contact us on our Google Help page here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest

    High quality build. Excellent video quality. Super easy install and setup with Google Home App. Real-time notifications are instant and no lag like with older Nest one. Some complain there's no 24/7 live recording, but I question one needs that. Google announced a 24/7 one coming early next year, but honestly I don't think most people will need that. You just need to capture when an event occurs. The app allows you to set activity zones and what type of activity you want to capture like people, animals, vehicles, etc. Not sure people realize the amount of data and bandwidth used when you have 24/7 recording. In comparison to other cameras like the older Nest one, and ring, this one to me is better all around.

    I love this battery doorbell. For one, I love that it doesn’t record 24/7…yes I’m the oddball who sees that s as a benefit. I actually prefer this because of the amount of bandwidth that 24 hour recording and uploading to the cloud takes. At one point I had 4 Nest flood light cams and the Nest wired doorbell version. Long story short, between my old WiFi based smart lights (Lifx) and the security cameras, my WiFi literally slowed to a snail’s pace. So I ended up getting rid of everything-including the wired doorbell and switched to this one. I switched to new smart lighting (you know the expensive one that requires a hub and uses the Zigbee protocol?). Just like the wired version-it has been very reliable-and I get very few false alarms. I use the Starling hub and can seamlessly access the doorbell using HomeKit with a few limitations. Maybe one day it’ll be Matter certified . So now between my HomePods and my google hubs, my doorbell rings all over the house! I replaced my security cameras with another brand that requires a home base, but has a built in solar panel. My only drawback with Google nest doorbells are that they still uses WiFi, but I’m getting blazing speeds since trashing a lot of old WiFi hogs in my house.

    Nice quality doorbell camera, has a pretty wide range. The battery life on my first run was only about 12 days, so that will require some maintenance/upkeep. But worth it!

      Hi Brian, we're glad to hear that you liked the quality of Nest Doorbell (Battery). We're sorry to hear that you are experiencing a short battery life.

      For Nest Doorbell (Battery), battery life will depend on factors including activity, temperature, and camera settings that you select. You can extend the battery life 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 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 device and understand what may be causing it. You may contact our support team for further assistance by visiting us here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest

    Good pic quality, even at night. I changed my night settings to normal instead of night vision and turn on the porch lite. Quality is really better than expected. Speaker could be louder, but still, it’s decent quality. Interfaces with Google Home app and works fine, but sometimes it’s a little slow to connect. Don’t let that deter you. Detection is good and consistent. I hardwired mine to the doorbell and everything worked from the start. It keeps a history of recorded events rolling back 3 hours. You pay for a subscription to get more if you want. I’m pleased with the purchase. It did everything expected and I would recommend it.
