    Love the new look and the person, package, animal, or vehicle notifications. Hate the Google Home App, hopefully gets updated to be more like the Nest app. Hate no continuous recording.

    This was a great purchase, the camera quality is better than I thought. The battery life is amazing. The connectivity and integration into the Google ecosystem is exactly what I was looking for and if your goal is to have one system, this is it.

      Hi BestBuy, we´re glad to hear that the Nest Doorbell (Battery) works great for you, and that you had an easy time installing it.

      For the best experience with your Nest Cam (Battery), we recommend getting the Nest Aware subscription, as it provides more value for your money with features that include 30 days of Video History, 24/7 continuous recording, access to clips and time lapses and even customizing your own activity zones. You won't ever have to worry about missing any events as these videos and clips are all saved onto the Cloud. All these features can be viewed and controlled at the tip of your fingertip using the Google Home App.

      We're always looking for ways to improve your experience. For any other support concerns you may have, please reach out to our support team here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest

    When it works, it's fine. Not happy about the subscription service; that's a hidden cost you don't realize you need. Holds a charge, okay, but not great. I only got it because everything else is Google brand in my house.

    As home doorbell cameras go. The battery lasts about a week on a some what busy road. It is good with facial recognition. The things i hate are it doesn't have a costom ring tone like ring camera and when the doorbell button is used the device itself makes a noise like some McDonald's toy and doesn't send a notification to your phone.

      Hi there, Sane. Thanks for posting a review about the Nest Doorbell (battery). We hear your concerns about having a custom ringtone when the doorbell button is pressed, and we’ve taken note of your feedback for future improvements. Meanwhile, you can choose which events your doorbell can detect and record (people, motion, package, etc.). From there, you (and each member of your home) can decide which of those events to get notifications for. If an event is turned off, you won’t get notifications for that kind of activity. You can also change the settings like adjusting video quality, wake-up sensitivity, length of video clips, time between recorded events, and using activity zones to monitor specific areas. Visit this link for more details: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/9210305

    I believe google’s ecosystem just works so much better than rings and this is no exception. Great camera quality and range. The smart system tells you exactly whos at the door and when you get a delivery. 10/10 recommend.

    Works well. Easy setup. Only con is it doesn’t currently integrate into the Nest app. Only Google home which limits some functionality. Google is supposed to be working on it.

    Great clear picture, options for doorbell chimes, even seasonal or birthday! Just installed and haven't seen all the features yet - does require a subscription to save video but worth the nominal amount. A bit larger than I expected but I suppose that leaves room for batteries?

      Hi Rozmonique, thanks for sharing your experience. We’re glad to hear that you find Nest Doorbell (battery) great, and we do apologize if you’re unable to connect your wireless chime with it.

      Nest Doorbell (battery) can do visitor announcements on a Google Assistant-enabled speaker or display or the indoor chime. Also, in addition to standard themes or sounds, seasonal doorbell themes are available around some holidays. You can change the theme or set a different chime sound in the app’s doorbell settings, where it automatically goes back after the default tone after the holiday.

      Your feedback is important to us, and your satisfaction is what drives us in improving our products and services. If you need further assistance, our support team is always here to help. Please feel free to contact us here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest

    I very happy with this product, my significant other told me that I don’t need the hub. But showing her we do need the hub part too. So we can see on the monitor. And it’s loud enough where you can tell someone is at the door.
