    I don't like how even if it's hard wired and doesn't record 24/7. It has a motion sensor that detects movement that tells it to record. When mailman comes, I only see him walking away in video. So it's recording late which misses a lot. They need to fix this.

      Hi CaptainN, thanks for taking the time to share with us your experience with the Nest Doorbell (Battery). We’re sorry to learn that you ran into this issue with the activity detection feature of the doorbell.

      Your doorbell runs algorithms to process video and audio data so it can determine whether it detected something you might want to know about. If you only need your doorbell to detect people, animals, or moving vehicles, we recommend that you do not turn on the basic motion and sound detection feature. You might have to move your doorbell, change the angle, or change something in the scene so that you don’t miss important activity and choose which events your doorbell can detect and record (people, motion, package etc.).

      We care about your experience, we’d like to learn more about this issue and we’ll do our best to help you here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest

      Hi there, EmmaLou. Sorry the Nest Doorbell (Battery) may not have been the best fit for you. It has a 145 degree field of view and 3:4 video aspect ratio to provide a comprehensive view of your doorstep, capturing both height and width. Regarding video quality, here’s a few tips to make sure you’re device is set up optimally:

      1. Open the Home app.
      2. Tap and hold your device's tile.
      3. At the top right, tap Settings.
      4. Choose Video.
      5. Under “Video quality,” choose Max or High.

      Here’s a link with more info: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/9218596

    The battery is awful, even with the settings for notifications and events set at a minimum. Bought a solar panel to keep it charged, but that was worthless

    I am so severely disappointed with this purchase it is insane. Seriously for what this thing costs it is pathetic. The battery life is awful and has to be charged almost every week, even with most of the features turned off. Every time I get a notification of an event it says “this video is not available please check back later” It barely records events or will record the last 2 seconds of an event so you miss most of it. Unfortunately I can’t get a refund for this piece of garbage so it will be going on eBay. AVOID THIS THING LIKE THE PLAGUE.

    Hard to set up without a book. I’m a tech and no help. Stinks you can’t add a light. Hard of hearing so… After setup ok I think still not sure about detection. At least I get a notification on my Apple Watch. Still figuring it all out.

    I loved the first generation camera so I replaced our back doorbell with this one from Google (replacing a Ring). It freezes whenever someone rings the doorbell or it takes so much time to load that you might as well just open the door to see who it is. If you get an alert that there is movement, it also freezes. The regular Nest app won’t work with this model so you need to use the Google Home app, which is worse.
