Great camera beats Ring
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Installing is pretty straight forward. This version is battery/wired. Vidoe is 4/3 ratio. Setup is through Google Homr app only.

||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Coming into this review, I had a catalog of potential pitfalls that Apple could have fallen into when switching from an Intel chip to its own processor. Chip transitions are devilishly hard and don’t usually go smoothly. This MacBook Air not only avoids almost all of those pitfalls, but it gleefully leaps over them.

||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works great, i had thought originally that the battery model would need to be removed and recharged periodically, but if you have it hooked up to a powered chime, it keeps it recharged on its own. That way if the power goes out, it can continue to run.
I would recommend this to a friend- Pros mentioned:Overall performance

Posted .Hi there, Luna006. Thanks for informing us about the issue. It's unfortunate to hear that you had to return your Nest Doorbell (Battery). This is not the kind of experience we had hoped to provide you with.
It takes approximately 5 hours to fully charge the Nest Doorbell (Battery) using a compatible 7.5 W AC adaptor (sold separately). Battery life will also depend on factors including activity, temperature, and camera settings that you select. You 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 of battery life (About 25 - 30 recorded events per day)
Typical: About 2.5 months of battery life (About 13 - 16 recorded events per day)
Quiet: About 6 months of battery life (about 2 - 5 recorded events per day)

So far there's been no issues. Though I wish there was more of a secure way to keep it attached to the door frame, For instance I specialized key.

||Posted . Owned for 10 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Captures front door traffic well, but packages are a challenge. Has a few blind spots and if package dropped off, there's a good chance we won't see it.

Posted .Hi DadChefInIdaho, thanks for leaving feedback about the Nest Doorbell (battery). We’re glad that it captures front traffic well, but we’re sorry to hear it has blind spots for your packages. The Nest Doorbell (battery) comes with a wedge that you can use to adjust the doorbell's camera angle if it's located in a corner. And it can angle your doorbell horizontally up to 20°. To get the camera view you want, you have to adjust the doorbell’s position by hand. Use the Home app to check the camera’s view so you can adjust the position from the mounting plate or wedge if you need to. If you're using the wedge for a better camera view, make sure to install the wedge then position the baseplate plate over the wedge with the G positioned upright and use the wedge screws to secure it in place. Then attach the doorbell to the baseplate, align the circle at the bottom of the doorbell to the hole at the bottom of the baseplate, and push the doorbell in then down until you feel it click into place.

Good camera that has some issues capturing events
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good doorbell camera. Has some issues like it sometimes doesn't record the full event or enough of it but for the most part it's good.

Posted .Hi andrewman37, thanks for sharing your support concerns with us on Nest Doorbell (Battery). To conserve battery life, Nest Doorbell (Battery) will honor its maximum video clip length setting. This means that if your camera is recording an event, it will cut off and save the clip even if the event is still happening. If you are interested in 24/7 continuous video history, consider one of our wired Nest cameras or Nest Doorbell (Wired).

Loved it
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Just perfect. I put it on my door, right in the middle. It looks beautiful and very fancy. I love the fact that it tracks peoples faces and recognizes and announces them. You can also answer someone who’s at your door and when they ring the doorbell, the google nest hub plays a sound. Amazing.

I would recommend this to a friendMediocre product at best
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I havent even finished installing this and I am tempted to return it. The setup through Google Home and on the website fails to inform you that you have to install the wall plate to the back of the camera before it will attempt to connect to the network. Then I find out that the provided wedge is only usable one direction meaning if you need it to angle right and mount on the left side of your door frame you have to purchase a separate mount to accomplish that. Horrible restriction for no reason other than cash grab after purchase.

My third Google nest doorbell, returned product
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’ve had two Google nest doorbells in the past and those models are obsolete and both of them actually shorted out so the point where they were no longer functional. There isn’t a whole lot of options on the market and after looking through what was in stock and I decided to try a third Google nest doorbell. It didn’t end up fixing some of my smart home integration issues and it didn’t fit my needs or work in the way that it was supposed to. I ended up uninstalling it and returning it and now I have a classic push button doorbell without any smart features and my headache with some of the Google smart home stuff is no Longer.

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

Posted .Hi jkhy, thanks for letting us know about the battery issue with Nest Doorbell (Battery). We're sorry for the disappointment with the limitation for supporting Alexa.
The battery life for Nest Doorbell (Battery) 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)
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.
