    Solid Doorbell for Google Ecosystem

    So far so good. The video quality is good, the notification speed is good, but the battery life is questionable. There are settings to help w/ battery longevity but so far Ive only managed to get 3 weeks before I have to recharge. That is a far cry from what is promoted. Now I do live on a street w/ a lot of foot traffic so that certainly contributed to the hit on the battery. I’ve adjusted my zones and will see how that improves the battery. This is a new product from Google so I’m sure software updates will be sent out possibly to help w/ the batter. TBD.

    I purchased this for my parents, and it has been fantastic for them. The camera is wonderful, and they get to see the full image of the person at the doorbell and not the fisheye looking image.

    I recently purchased the Nest Doorbell for security reasons. My wife and I love in the country and it's nice to be able to see who, if anyone, walks by our cars, our shed, or comes to the door. I went with the Nest above others after doing some research and finding that it actually has a rolling 3 hour record time for free. Others, you have to pay for a subscription to be able to save any footage. It's very sensitive on it's pick up and will tell you if a person has been at your door and even if that person is carrying a package. It sends a notification directly to your phone, with a short video clip of the person. One of the best parts, it's easy to setup and install. I recommend the Nest over others like it, for it's price and features.

    It is a very nice "gadget" to have at home. It shows who's coming to the door in a very clear and timely fashion. Notifications are clear. So far hasn't given us any problem. Easy to install (we hired a company who did it for us), compatible with our existing chime bell. Highly recommended!

    Exactly what I wanted, however the battery life is shorter than expected. Interfaces very well with Google Home. I can see the door area remotely using smartphone App. Automatically saves the past three hours of events. You can also externally save the events. Installation is easy, but you need extra hardware to really secure it on the door frame.

    Great doorbell

    The device is great. Stylish and robust, it's a good design. A couple of things I didn't like: The viewing angle is limited, with the vertical view being greater than the horizontal view. Here, the Ring doorbell wins, it’s has a longer range. I would have preferred the device to be operated from the Nest app, as the Google home app is very cluttered. The battery lasted me about a month. Recharging it took over 3 hours. The other problem is that the notifications on the Apple Watch does not work as it should. It tries to show a picture, but you don't see anything, in contrast with the Nest or Ring notifications. In conclusion, I liked the doorbell because it is easy to install, does not need wires and does its job. I don't like the app, but I'm hopeful that Google will fix those issues in the future.

    The Nest device is easy to install. The battery lasts a very long time before we need to recharge it. The App UI is nice and easy to understand. You get notifications for activity near your door. It's definitely worth setting up specific activity zones so that you don't get notifications for busy travel areas that don't require your attention. The only negative is that to get the most out of it, it requires a subscription.

    It was very easy to install. We love the notifications. Currently is battery operated only wanted to attach the chime originally installed in the house but haven’t successful. I was able to set up notifications through our phones and the Amazon echo show. In general we are satisfied with this product.

    Compared to our last doorcam this was much higher in quality. My only biggest complaint is that it requires itself to be wired in to make use of door chimes. You can circumvent this by using a nest hub and having the assistant chime for you, but it'd still be nice to just have a general chime option.

    Overall, the Google Nest Wi-Fi Video Doorbell is a solid product with great video quality and reliable alerts. However, when charging, be careful—the lens is prone to scratches and smudges, which can reduce visibility. A gentle touch is definitely needed! The main downside is that the Google Home app feels sluggish at times, causing delays in notifications or video playback. Once everything is up and running, it works well, but the app experience could definitely use some optimization. Still, it's a good choice if you’re looking for a sleek, battery-operated doorbell.

    This camera has fantastic quality, as to all of the Google cameras that we have experienced. This has massively easy installation, what I consider to be quite a good battery life, a wide range of view, excellent video quality, and great features. Everyone that I have shown this camera too compliments the quality of the footage and how clear it is and the wide range of view. Plus it integrates seamlessly with all of our other Google home devices which we love.

    Doorbell Cam was easy to install. It works with the google home app, which is easy to install as well if you don't have it already. The camera is good quality and clear images. Sight area is pretty wide & does have some adjustment capability. Overall, great product for the price.

    It was basically the doorbell I was looking for. I tried another brand but it was so slow notifying me they were gone before I got connected. I also don’t want a monthly fee so I have 3 hours from when an event occurs to save the video. Not ideal but but better than a monthly fee. Would have been 5 stars except for that. It works with my existing chime indoors and notifies me on my google speakers in the house when the doorbell is activated. Video is good too

    Works get, I travel for work a lot and just like to see what’s going on while I’m away. I enjoy the simplicity of use and how well it sync’s up with my other google devices. The battery life on this thing is solid, since I live in an apartment complex I don’t get a doorbell but this paired with the no drill mount has taken care of that issue. The night vision camera is great and when people ring the doorbell my nest hub and Google mini let me know if a friend or someone I don’t know is at the door. I say all this to say , if you are looking for an inexpensive way to monitor your home you really can’t got wrong with this doorbell very great bang for your buck purchase.

    I bought this because I could add it to my Google Hub. It does its job- acceptable battery life, good video and sound quality- but I’m still disappointed. The camera doesn’t always capture motions from animals at night. I’ve tried fixing the settings to increase sensitivity and followed the troubleshooting advice from Google. Searched Reddit for any nerd advice too (I appreciate you, people of Reddit), and nothing I’ve done has fixed that issue. I’m convinced the issue stems from the hardware. So if you’re wanting to keep an eye on your pets at night or see the wildlife that visits your property, this isn’t the product for you. I was expecting more from a Google product.

    I really like the wireless feature. I dont like that it has to be recharged so frequently and we dont have a lot of foot traffic in front of it. It doesnt even last a month. I wish it was possible to easily make it wired. It does have great quality pictures and sound. I would recommend only if wired.

    This is a great addition to the Google Nest products. I had broken the wiring on my backdoor doorbell so I couldn't use a wired doorbell. I have a wired Google Nest front doorbell which I love so I got this one when they came out with the battery powered doorbell. I love it too. It just sends me a notification if it sees someone out there, you can even set it for pets. I have neighbor dogs that like to come and play so that is cool too. It lets you know if the person has a package as well. It is super easy to install and has great instructions. It connected to my existing Home app so easily. It looks nice, has a great picture and the battery stays charged for months.
