    The doorbell was easily installed and set up with our other Nest products. We receive alerts on our phones and Nest Hubs when someone is on the porch. Well worth the money.

      Hi Donte, thanks for leaving feedback to let us know of your concern with the battery life of your Nest Doorbell (battery). The battery life depends on several factors including activity frequency, temperature, and the camera settings you select. For a typical user recording 13-16 events per day, the doorbell’s battery will last about 2.5 months. To extend your doorbell’s battery life, you can adjust its video quality, length of video clips, and time between recorded events. You can also live stream less often, and use activity zones to monitor specific areas. Or to avoid charging the battery more often than you should, you may consider connecting your doorbell to a power outlet with the optional power adapter (sold separately)to keep the battery charged.

      You can visit us anytime at the following link if you need additional help, or for any concerns about the Nest doorbell: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest

      Hey there, BadBrian13. We’re glad to hear that you find the Nest Doorbell (battery) with good value. We hear your concern about having an optional chime. While Nest doorbells have sounds that help you know what’s happening (for example, when it restarts), a chime is not included. The good news is when a visitor presses your Nest Doorbell (battery), you can hear an audible alert if you have compatible smart speakers or displays, like Nest Audio or Nest Hub. You can connect a Google speaker or display and set up visitor announcements if you want to get notified when someone rings your doorbell when you’re home. You'll only get visitor announcements on your speakers and displays if they are set up in the same home as your doorbell in the Home app. Or If you choose the optional hard-wired installation, it will work with an existing doorbell chime if you have one.

      For help around the performance and features of the Nest doorbell, feel free to contact us here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest

    Good but the battery doesn’t last very long. Pain in the rear having to charge it all the time. It’s very big compared to the wired model and barely fit in the area I had designated for it.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    Switched from a Ring doorbell. Google has it down, notifications tell you when someone has a package and if that package is removed! On top of that, it looks so much more modern than most other options out there
