    Worthless. Does now hold a charge. Records EVERYONE and EVERYTHING that walks by the house (event after trying to programatically limite the Alert zone. And I don't think I've EVER hear it ring. Always use wired camera devices.

      Hello there, Sundy. Thanks for sharing your experience with the Nest Doorbell (battery). We’re sorry to hear that your expectations are not met.

      The battery life depends on factors including activity, temperature, and doorbell settings that you select. You can extend the battery life by adjusting video quality, length of video clips, time between recorded events to monitor specific areas. Check this link for more details: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/10901611

      You can choose which events your doorbell can detect and record (people, motion, package, etc.). Besides using activity zones, you can change the settings like adjusting video quality, wake-up sensitivity, length of video clips, time between recorded events .

      A chime is not included with every purchase of Nest doorbells. Thankfully, you can connect a Google speaker or display and set up visitor announcements 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. Also, if you have Alexa, Google offers a Smart Home skill for integrating your Nest doorbell with Amazon's Alexa home control. Alexa can announce when someone presses the doorbell or when the doorbell detects motion or events. Visit the Google Nest Help Center to learn about how to control the Nest devices with Amazon Alexa.

      Feel free to let us know by visiting us at the Google Nest Help Page if more help is needed: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest

    I bought this and it lasted one full charge. The warranty for this product expired in that time. Since then, I have to charge it every 5 days. After two days it notifies me that the batter is extremely low.

      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

    It’s a doorbell that does what it says it does. I’m not in “wow” mode here. What can I say about that but to only give it three stars. I am not impressed. Just give me my 25 Best Buy points.

    I have had some issues with this doorbell. When I try to view the person at door, it states that there was a problem with video screening. It takes some effort to bypass this .

      Hi Joan, thanks for letting us know the details of your feedback with using the Nest Doorbell (battery). We’re sorry to hear you’ve had some issues viewing your doorbell video, and we appreciate all the time and effort you’ve spent on this.

      Doorbell issues and Home App issues can be related to several reasons. In the event that your doorbell or Google Home app is behaving differently, we can try the steps below that may help:
      - Make sure that your phone or tablet is up to date, with the correct Date & Time settings.
      - Check if your doorbell and Home app are both online.
      - Close other apps running in the background.
      - Sign out of the Home app and sign back in.
      - Restart your phone or tablet.
      - Uninstall the Home app and reinstall it.
      - Try an alternate compatible phone or tablet if available.

      Meanwhile, we also suggest having the latest version of the Google Home app as it may improve your camera viewing experience, including playback controls to make it easier to play, pause, and navigate between events from the video history view. If help is needed, we’d be more than happy to provide you with service and assistance here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest
