Dogs Walked?
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We just had this installed. It has been interesting for us to figure out all of the things that it can do. Sometimes, the sheer number of notifications that one gets can be overwhelming, but we know when packages arrive. The bonus is that I can now determine if the kids walk the dogs as instructed. I wish the Nest Aware subscription was not so expensive.

Good option for a doorbell camera but battery iffy
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Battery is relatively easy to install, however the battery does not last nearly as long as they say it will. It will last me about a month and then takes about 6 hours to charge. Still works well overall.

Posted .Hi esol, thanks for posting your feedback. We’re sorry to learn that your having issues with the battery of your Nest Doorbell (battery).
Battery life will depend on factors including activity, temperature, and camera settings that you select. You can extend the battery life of your 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)
If you’re willing to try, 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 Nest Doorbell (Battery) and understand what may be causing it. You may contact our support team for further assistance here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp

Posted .Hello there, Xzavier. Thanks for sharing your concerns about the Nest Doorbell (battery). We're sorry to hear that your experience with the device didn't meet your expectations. The battery life depends on factors including activity, temperature, and doorbell settings that you select. You can extend the battery life by adjusting video quality, length of video clips, time between recorded events to monitor specific areas. Check this link for more details: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/10901611
As for the battery performance in cold weather, the Nest Doorbell (battery) has an outside operating temperature range of -20°C to 40°C (-4°F to 104°F). Using the device above or below the temperature range can cause performance issues. At temperatures below freezing, the lithium-ion battery in your Google Nest doorbell won’t be able to charge. Many devices, including popular models of doorbell cameras and cell phones, use lithium-ion batteries for their high power and long life, but these batteries are also affected by temperatures below freezing. You need to bring it inside to a warm place, preferably at room temperature so the battery can start to charge slowly once its temperature rises past 32°F (0°C). It will charge faster when it warms up.

Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The nest Google door bell is the best on the market, having a Ring door bell in the UK. I find that the nest works well with my other nest products and is made of quality materials. The door bell is battery with up to four months without a charge. Good quality images with history record and sound. Love it.

Battery powered makes this so awesome!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this for my parents - they do not have a wired doorbell and so the battery option works out awesomely. I used to own a Ring doorbell but at my new house I went with the Nest and love it. Battery percentage remaining is shown quickly on the app, it's easy enough for my 70 year old parents to charge it up when needed, and they absolutely love it!

Great doorbell with great video quality captured
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We had several break ins in our condo complex. Decided to get a nest doorbell so that I can be notified. Love all the settings this has. What I am amazed is the battery life. According to google, it last 3 months before I need to fully charge it again. That is only 4 times a year of charging! Amazing! Video and sound quality is superb as well!

Google's Battery Doorbell
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you are within Google's Smart Home system, this is a must. It works off a battery so if your home is a new build and does not come with a doorbell this is an easy install. The advertised battery life (about 4-6 months with typical usage) is great. I would say is that it is larger than I expected, likely because it has a hefty battery in it.

Posted .Hey there, Siteone. We’re glad that your Nest Doorbell (battery) works well. We hear your concerns about its battery life along with the battery charging behavior during cold weather.
If your doorbell is detecting a lot of activities, adjusting the doorbell settings such as video quality, length of video clips, time between recorded events, and using activity zones to monitor specific areas can extend its battery life. This link can help: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/10901611
Many devices, including popular models of doorbell cameras and cell phones, use lithium-ion batteries for their high power and long life, but these batteries are also affected by temperatures below freezing. At temperatures between -4°F (-20°C) and 32°F (0°C), the doorbell will continue to work, but the lithium-ion battery in your Nest doorbell won’t be able to charge. If the battery drains completely, the doorbell will shut down. For wired installation setups with a Nest Cam (battery), the wires power the camera directly. At temperatures below freezing, the battery won’t charge, but as long as the wired power source is available, the camera can operate in temperatures down to -4°F (-20°C).

We look forward to helping you with any questions you may have about the Nest doorbell. For any support concerns that will require our help, please contact our support team via the Google Nest Help Page here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp

Posted .Hello there, Benny. We appreciate the feedback you shared about the Nest Doorbell (battery). We’re glad that you like its video quality, but we’re sorry to hear that your experience with the setup and connectivity is below your expectations. You may need to check for any range issue or wireless interference that can affect the overall performance of your doorbell. Sometimes the device won’t pass the connection test during setup, and will struggle to stay connected if it’s just a bit too far away from your router. You may also check for objects such as mirrors and refrigerators between the doorbell and your router as these items could block the connection.
