Uncomfortable to recharge.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very bulky, large. In addition, the metal support or base is very easy to release. To recharge the battery you have to remove the entire doorbell and this is inconvenient. Uncomfortable to recharge.

Posted .Hi NJVA, thanks for sharing your feedback with us on Nest Doorbell (Battery). We're sorry to hear that the design and features of Nest Doorbell (Battery) didn't meet your expectations.
The new Nest Doorbell (Battery) is a bit bigger compared to the previous generation of the Nest Doorbell model, since we had to accommodate the battery into the structure. Also, a locking mechanism holds your Nest Doorbell (Battery) in place with either the base plate or the 20° wedge. If you still find the locking mechanism insufficient, you may want to check with BestBuy for availability of 3rd-party anti-theft mounting brackets. We also recommend hard-wiring your Nest Doorbell (Battery) if you prefer continuous charging.
We value your feedback on our products and we'll make sure to pass along this information to our product team. For any other questions or support concerns, please feel free to reach out to our support team here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp

Posted .Hi Troy, thanks for sharing the issue with our support team. We´re sorry for the disappointing experience with the short battery life of Nest Doorbell (Battery).
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)
It's important 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. We recommend contacting our support team for further assistance by visiting us here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp
Great Doorbell, but Google Software not great
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love the nest doorbell, except that it lags a little bit sending the message. The issue is the google software, I wish google use the previous nest software and expand it. Also, the camera doesn't record constantly even though it's wirely connected.

Google product all the way - as expected
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Wonderful product. Needs a $6 per month subscription plan for using the full power of features available. But the free plan supports most basic features required

Posted .Hi TK83, thanks for sharing some details of your feedback about using the Nest Doorbell (Battery), and we’re sorry to hear that it sometimes starts recording too late.
Here are some recommended troubleshooting steps that may help improve your overall experience with the doorbell:
- If you have a lot of open apps on your phone, they can slow down its overall performance. Try closing some apps, including the Home app, and then re-open only the app you need to view your video.
- If that doesn’t work, you can try restarting your phone or device you’re watching with.
- check your network as your camera’s video can also be delayed by a slow network connection.
- Other devices in your home may be using a lot of bandwidth. You can temporarily stop a device’s bandwidth use manually by quitting an app or program, disconnecting it from Wi-Fi or ethernet, or by turning it off.
- The video can be delayed if your camera, phone, tablet or computer is connected to a Wi-Fi extender, which adds extra relay time to any device that’s using it. In this case, connect your camera directly to your Wi-Fi router to help reduce the delay.
If your doorbell still starts recording too late, it would be best to consult our dedicated team for further isolation and troubleshooting here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp

||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I like the camera but the only thing that I dont like is that it only has 3 hour history. I would if liked for the videos to dissapear within 24hrs but thats it.
I would recommend this to a friendBattery is pretty awesome
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is used at my business by a shipping door with no power near it. The battery lasts about a month and takes a few hours to charge. It notifies me when it's a week away from dying. Super easy to plug in and charge back up. Worth it.
I would recommend this to a friendPerfect for our needs
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We were in need of a new Doorbell and have been looking for a video Doorbell option. We already have a Nest Camera and decided that the Nest Doorbell Battery was the best option since we also do not currently have a wired Doorbell.

Wired Goggle nest doorbell
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The wired doorbell was a bit difficult to connect. We still don’t have it connected to our actual bell. We do like the notifications on our cell phones when someone approaches the door.

||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love the ring doorbell. Probably my wifi but the app is really delayed unless they ring the bell. The video alarm is delayed enough that people are gone before I know they were here.
