Customer Ratings & Reviews

It’s a great product overall. Comes with a free subscription for 30 days and if you decide to not buy into the subscription, you still get three hours of playback, which is good enough for me. The quality of the camera is HD and you can even have it identify your neighbors versus unidentified people. My only drawback is that I can’t set a custom notification just for my doorbell whatever notification you have for your phone and any other app will be the same with this doorbell. It absolutely won’t allow you to set a custom notification and it’s been like this for some time now so it doesn’t look like something that’s a priority. Other than that it is a great product. It looks great on the door and very easy to install. Would definitely recommend this over the ring camera.

I love this Nest Doorbell! Video and sound quality is clear it is abit laggy but i think that would have to do with my network but my house already came with the mount and whole system hooked up so all i had to do is get the Doorbell and we stuck with Nest because we already own the thermostat and we got the Nest Hub for it and looking to get a Nest camera and posible speaker to connect to my Google Home so i can have more of a better experience with Google Nest products and i highly recommend.

I finally broke down and bought smart home devices (IT professional, not a fan of inviting security issues into an already secure environment). I live in an apartment so going with a wired unit was never an option. It seems as of now that the wireless/battery version of the Nest doorbell is at least usable and semi-functional (the wired one is really the one to get if you can use it). The wired one will allow 24/7 recording and more whereas the battery one does notifications based on your preferences (people/pets, motion, packages etc) and a live view mode as well. The issue that I have comes down to one of the main purposes of these units: storing video clips when necessary. Of course Google will want you to sign up for their cloud service to back it all up (and that is your only choice if you go battery, and only the events it detects since no 24/7). The battery unit will store a 3 hour window of recorded events before they are no longer accessible--so if an event happens then you need to manually go into the Google home app, access the device, and use their very cumbersome interface to save that specific clip to your device--this is not a great solution, what if something happens when I am asleep and need to record it for later, such as an insurance claim or otherwise? Well if you don't have the Nest cloud backup service and use the battery unit, then you are out of luck. The GOODS about this unit are the taller views offered compared to the Ring doorbells--this makes it perfect for packages or any sort of delivery. It has a larger footprint (due to the battery) but there are a lot of available adhering methods available (since if you are getting a battery unit and not wired, you probably want a secure way to mount it but does not require drilling/non-permanent). I personally found a chunky case that protects the whole unit and then clamps around my apartment door, and thin enough that it fits through the doorframe without issue. This way the unit is mounted to the door itself and works great. Overall, definitely worth it if you're a nerd or lazy like me (oof). The prices were right (sub $100 for these devices is finally in the proper range) and their functionality and apps have gotten better... Just...Google really needs to work on their Home app. It's bad--it works but at what cost?

Battery life is only about a third (<1-month) of what is stated by manufacturer (3-mos). Also, the wireless DB is considerably larger than the wired version. Lastly, since the DB is removable and must be removed to be recharged, it is essential that the DB reattach to the mounting bracket positively and with ease. We have already experienced on fall off from the mounting bracket after it being reinstalled and fortunately nothing was broken. BUT, the video and audio features of this DB are superior to all others seen or observed in past.

I had the old Nest Hello, which was wired, and it recently stopped working. I am not sure if the failure was the doorbell wiring, (had sparked the circuit installing new switches) or the doorbell, so I decided to venture into the wireless arena. Other than the large size, it works as well as the previous model. This doorbell is large. I presume part of the size is due to the need for a battery, though I was still surprised when I opened the box. It is not as deep as the older model, but twice the height and 50% wider. Due to the mostly white casing, it actually hides better on the door trim than the previous model, so it is only noticeable when up close. The install was easy, and completed through the Home App. Just as before, once started, step-by-step instructions are provided. Setting up a motion zone was also easy, though since this is part of the new Nest line-up it has to be done through the phone app. While the loss of a web view, and the ability to refine a zone through the large screen, is a bit frustrating; the Nest Website was so minimal that there is not much lost. The motion zone setup on the Home App has more flexibility since it includes an option for notifications from moving vehicles and animals. (no false motion notifications for the neighbor's cat) The battery came about 65% charged, and I recently was notified I had a week of battery left. Based on this burn rate, it looks like the camera should last a couple of weeks during the winter. I am hoping for longer battery life during the summer months. Overall, the camera is a decent camera, and allows installation without having to worry about wiring.

Easy installation, came with everything you'd need (except the drill of course). Works great as well, camera is clear with a good microphone/speaker.

I purchased the google nest doorbell because my sister has one and she gave me good reviews. My opinion this is best camera doorbell I have ever purchased. I love the fact I can pop it off when the battery is low and charge it instead of having to purchase new batteries that’s a big win for me. The video is very clear and the color is good. I recommend the google nest doorbell to all my family and friends. Actually two of them has already purchased one. Thanks Google hands down on these cameras

The picture quality is great and love how it is more suited to see all the area. Installation is pretty simple. Attaching the camera to the plate if you are using the angle piece is a little frustrating and it is also very annoying how you can only use this in the google home app even if you hard wire it. That is the reason for the deduction in stars. If it is hardwired you should have the ability to use the in the Nest app.

Very nice doorbell camera. Using it with Nest hub max. Awesome product. Easy to install. You can setup level of sensitivity, facial recognition, package and animal recognition. The only drawback is the battery drains faster when all of the above features are turned on. Reduces it to Roughly around 1 week, otherwise would last a few months if you decide to use it only as a doorbell camera which only works when someone rings the bell. Removing from the base and charging it not that hard at all. A small mini key like metal piece comes with the purchase to remove, I hanged it next to my car key chain. Highly recommend it everyone.

Far beyond any other battery powered smart doorbell I have ever tried. My house is too old to be wired for a doorbell so I've struggled a lot with this. I tried Ring, I've tried an indiegigo doorbell from Wuuk... Basically if it has battery in the name I've used it. This was effortless to set up. Doesn't require a separate chime unit to plug in like the others. It automatically rings on my home minis (all of mine are first gens too, so not the nest mini) and anyone who is connected to my Google home automatically gets notifications too. The response time is quick, almost instant, and the camera quality is super clear. It even tells me if the type of motion detection is a person or a car or a dog, etc. Worth the money on this one!

This is my second Nest (Google) doorbell. The first was wired, but the wireless appealed to me. The doorbell _can_ be wired, but it has a sufficiently large battery inside to get the job done. My first Nest doorbell was added via the Nest app, but this doorbell must be added via the Google Home app. This means you'll need to have (or create) a Google account. Thus far, I've added my doorbell to my home in the Google Home app, and have fully charged it. I've also played around with it a bit to make sure the basic functionality is as expected, and of course it is. Camera resolution is 960p, kind of an odd resolution, but the quality of the video is excellent. Next step is to 3D print a bracket to match my home's cedar siding angles so that the doorbell is oriented properly and I get the "just right" angle. Yes, I know that is not necessary, but I'm a bit on the OCD side so...

Works very well and looks great. Able to be put anywhere and is always reliable.

Very easy to install and use. It comes with clear instructions and there are also videos showing you how to follow the steps, which was very helpful in my case. I bought the battery model but ended up being able to connect to the electricity with no issues with the same device. My only recommendation would be to make the wedge adjustable because I would have liked it to be a little bit more turned towards the front (I had to install it on a side wall, trying to cover the holes where the old doorbell was)

The setup was easy and the view is clear. Very happy with product.

I bought this because I already have a nest camera and you can have as many cameras as you want for one price on the plan. I went with battery because we do not have an existing doorbell. The video quality is excellent. My other nest cam is wired so it records continuously, i did not relaize that this only records when you have movement, a package or it sees a person or an animal. It also alearts you when your package is removed from view, cool feature. So you do not get the convince of continuously recording. We also live on a busy road and the movement was killing the battery very fast. I was able to adjust the movemant field so it doesn't record the traffic on the road so now my battery life has doubled. All in all I do like the camera and now we have a doorbell we didn't have before. I was able to connect to Alexa so we do get a notification when someone rings the bell. I like nest products and would have purchased this even with the negative things I listed. Im going to buy the two pack of cameras and wire them so we have full coverage of our property.

Over all, I like this doorbell. It's the Google Home app that i hate. I bought 2 , one for the frint and back of the house. Installation was smooth and very easy. I have Nest Aware already from when i bought Nest dorbell (wired) which is peeling. Video is good, not great. Notifications do come in quicker which was an issue with the orginal dorbell. The Google Home app needs a lot of work. App is put together very sloppy. But this review is for the doorbell , not the app.I bought the Snow white and Lien.

The Google Nest Doorbell is a solid pick for anyone in the Google ecosystem. I really liked that even though it says batter operated, it offers both battery and wired options—I went with wired so I don’t have to deal with recharging. Setup was quick and seamless, integrating smoothly with my existing Nest devices. Video quality is clear, notifications are reliable, and it just works. If you're in the Nest ecosystem, it's an easy recommendation.

I really like the look of this doorbell! it is larger than other video doorbells but that's likely to have a longer lasting battery in it. Regardless, it is still slim and sleek and adds a nice improvement to your front door area! - Installation was SO easy! The configuration is really very friendly using Google Home App, all the time take you from the hand until is ready for use. The battery is good but I wish it can be have longer time durability before charging, with a normal slow use, can be lasting at least 2 months without charging, but if it use very frequently, could last 3 weeks before charging. The camera resolution is very nice and clear, like a professional expensive cellular. One of the things that I do not like is that to take out is very easy and can be stole fast. to solve this, I have to put a small gate protection. If you want to record 7/24 then you have to have a tablet or cellular with a very big memory, since the record depends on How many memory you have on the linked device you use to record.

SO FAR SO GOOD, EASY INSTALL AND VERY CLEAR VIDEO.

If you do not have a door bell get this. Works great! You can clearly see who is at your door. Well worth the money and it gives you a piece of mind.
