||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Coming from a Ring doorbell. I decided to try this out because I'm exploring the google eco-system. Quick notifications. Nice UI. I like the vertical camera vs horizontal. It's an easy recommendation.

Posted .Hi Nabs, thanks for sharing your insights with us. We're sorry to hear that the Google Home app didn't meet your expectations.
We wanted to make the Google Home app the one place where you can control all your favorite Nest devices and other smart home devices with the Google Assistant. Here are some benefits you can get by using the Google Home app with your Nest Cam (Battery):
- Automatic security protections such as Suspicious activity detection, 2-Step Verification and Security Checkup.
- Your Google Nest devices and services will work together. For example, if you have a Nest Cam and a Nest Hub, just say, ""Hey Google, show me the backyard camera” to cast your camera stream to your display without any additional setup.
- One account to sign into both the Nest and Google Home apps.
- Your homes and home members will be aligned across the Nest and Google Home apps.
If you´re willing to try, you may set up your Nest cameras to the Google Home app. Here´s a guide that you can follow to set up your Nest cameras on the Google Home app: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/9893532
We may need to have a closer look at the issue you are having with your posts on our Community channel, and see how we can provide you a better experience. Please reach out to our support team here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp

Posted .Hi Stang, we're sorry to hear about the short battery life, and that you didn't like the Google Home app for your Nest Doorbell (Battery).
We wanted to make the Google Home app as the one place where you can control all your favorite Nest devices and other smart home devices with the Google Assistant. Here are some benefits you can get by using the Google Home app with your Nest Cam (Indoor, Wired):
- Automatic security protections such as Suspicious activity detection, 2-Step Verification and Security Checkup.
- Your Google Nest devices and services will work together. For example, if you have a Nest Cam and a Nest Hub, just say, """"Hey Google, show me the backyard camera” to cast your camera stream to your display without any additional setup.

Battery life will depend on factors including activity, temperature, and camera settings that you select. Users can extend the battery life of their camera 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)
You may want to check 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.

DO NOT BUY. SAVE YOUR MONEY AND LEAVE THE NEST ECO
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Save your money on this. If you can, get the older model that connects to the wired terminals and uses the Nest App. This only uses the google home app despite the name. The camera takes forever to actually connect when you open through the google home app. To speed it up, you need to go to history then back to live, otherwise it will just sit there. It also doesn't constantly record. I get that this is a battery powered product and you don't want to use the battery up in a day or two, but a great solution for that would have been to have a removeable battery. This product is also stupid because you have to go through the Google home app. The nest app was way better. I am thinking that Google is doing away with the nest app/brand and will just have everything incorporated into Google Home. Why does Google always do this?? I recently go to experience the Ring App and I couldn't believe the features that come with a Ring doorbell camera. Community warnings about theft in the area, mountain lion sightings, etc.

Great
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Got this as an upgrade for my parents and they love it. Has been a month or so and still has yet to need charging. Camera view is great
I would recommend this to a friendGoogle
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I really liked this product because it notifies me of all outside movements and arrives quickly in my notifications on my cell phone.
I would recommend this to a friendEasy to install and setup
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you have Nest system such as cameras etc, and you don't want deal with wiring this door bell is perfect. Easy to setup and install. But not enough information on inside documentation. You need to "Google" it for finding instructions. Battery life looks decent for now.
I would recommend this to a friendGreat flexible doorbell...
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We had a ring dootbell for several years and could not find a configuration to stop alerting us as people and animals walked by the house. With the Google battery doorbell all the false alters are gone. I also love identifying individuals by name. Overall very pleased.
I would recommend this to a friendNot sure
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I havent opened and installed; after I purchased it, I realized that in order for it to work you need Google or another device?? I got busy and forgot about it. When it is installed, will update on whether it truly is a 5 star

Works mostly as expected
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It does what it is supposed to do. Disappointed to learn that this model does not integrate with my GoogleTV, though (one of the reasons I bought the two together).

Batter Vs Wired
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a better picture than my wired version was. I was concerned about the battery life but it lasts 6 months and only takes a couple hours to charge.
I would recommend this to a friendHappy Wife, Happy Lice
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works well. Easy to use and set up. At this time, we have not seen the need to purchase Nest Cloud storage to view historical video feed.
I would recommend this to a friendGreat upgrade from Ring!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had a Ring Pro at my old house and decided to try the Nest doorbell at my new place. So far, I'm finding it better than the Ring, even on the free plan. The Ring had so many false alerts, while the Nest does a great job of recognizing people and even packages.
I would recommend this to a friendGreat Product.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great product. I highly recommend this item. If you need a wireless camera this particular product is good for the job.
I would recommend this to a friendDon't need a subscripyion
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Returned a Ring doorbell for this one because you don't need a subscription to to see recorded videos.
