The Doorbell’s camera is good quality and does a pretty good job at identifying when packages are dropped off. The google home app is user-friendly and intuitive.

Outsmarts the Competition
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.----- Summary ----- Verdict: The Nest Doorbell is a top contender in the crowded video doorbell market. It’s beautifully designed and intelligent. The flawless experience I’ve had from installation to everyday use has been impressive. What I like most are the customizable notifications and clear video (day and night). I think you’ll be happy with the Nest Doorbell, especially if you already have smart home devices in the Google Assistant ecosystem. Pros: - Easy installation and app setup - Can be wired or wireless - Fast and accurate motion detection - Intelligent notifications (person, package, animal, vehicle) - Head to toe field of view - Clear video during the day and night Cons: - Subscription required for facial recognition and extended event history ----- Details ----- Design: What I immediately loved about the Nest Doorbell is its matte finish and minimalist design. It’s sure to look good next to any door, and there are several colors to choose from. The matte finish is not only a nice aesthetic but also quite practical because of its smudge resistance. Installation & Setup: The simplicity of installing and setting up the Nest Doorbell is admirable. Even with a few optional steps for wiring it, I installed the doorbell at my front door in about 15 minutes. Choosing the wire-free, battery-powered option makes the installation even quicker. I advise having a drill, drill bit, screwdriver, level, measuring tape, and a pencil for the installation. In some cases, you might get by with just a screwdriver, but the drill helped create pilot holes for the mount screws, and the level, measuring tape, and pencil helped me align it just how I wanted. Everything else needed for the installation is included in the box. Once installed, setting up the Nest Doorbell is done through the Google Home app. Like the install, I found the guided app setup to be quick and simple. Video & Audio: Video quality on the Nest Doorbell is 960 x 1280 resolution with HDR (helps with bright, high-contrast light) and a 145-degree field of view, so it’s easy to see what or who is at your door. Even just a few feet from the doorbell, the 145-degree field of view provides a head-to-toe look at what’s going on. I was especially impressed that I could read the label on a package left right by the door that said “Perishable - Keep Refrigerated” on top of it, so I knew I had to run home. The clarity and accurate lighting are quite impressive. I’m also impressed by the night vision. It can be completely dark and the doorbell will still provide clear video. As for the two-way audio, I have high praise for it too. Noise and voice get picked up exceptionally well, so whether I’m listening or chatting with someone at the door, it’s clear with no loss of audio. Notifications: Person, vehicle, package, and animal-specific notifications are accurate and free. I like that I can customize what notifications I want to see. My neighborhood frequently has cars passing by that would trigger a motion notification on my previous video doorbell which I did not care to see. The only solution was to turn off motion notifications entirely. With the Nest Doorbell, I can just turn off the vehicle notifications. The same goes for people, packages, and animals. Three hours of video history is included for free, but the Nest Aware and Nest Aware Plus subscriptions can provide 30 and 60 days of video history, respectively, as well as facial recognition and additional security features such as emergency calling. Like the intelligent notifications, facial recognition is accurate, and it’s a neat feature to have because the Google Home notification will say who exactly is at the door. Battery: Since I opted for the wired installation, I can’t personally speak to the battery life, but I do know that there are settings in the Google Home app like shortening event videos or limiting motion detection that will affect battery usage, so results will vary based on the settings you choose. Google says the battery can last about 2.5 months, based on 13-16 recorded events per day, but if there are only 2-5 events per day, it could last up to six months.

The best I've tried.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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!

Got ya!
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I admit I was alittle hesitant about the 2 month battery life, but at the rate is going it's going to be maybe 3 months before a recharge! Quality is amazing, identifying individuals and packages is spot on and very quick to alert me! Install was tricky at first but figure it out and you can make it work almost anywhere!

Great addition to my smart system.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Really easy install and setup. Plus the app guides you through each step. Images are clear in the day and night. Face recognition is an added benefit and package detection works well. Hard wired mine so I wouldn't have to worry about recharging.

Posted .Hi there, thanks for posting your feedback. We’re sorry to learn about your disappointment with your Nest Doorbell’s battery.
Battery life will depend on factors including activity, temperature, and camera settings that you select. You can extend the battery life of your camera by adjusting video quality, length of video clips, time between recorded events, and using activity zones to monitor specific areas. Here are some typical scenarios:
- Busy - About 1 month battery life (about 25 - 30 recorded events per day)
- Typical - About 2.5 months battery life (about 13 - 16 recorded events per day)
- Quiet - About 6 months battery life (about 2 - 5 recorded events per day)
If you’re willing to try, we recommend checking the frequency of events (per day) that you get with your Nest Doorbell (Battery). If the short battery life isn’t related to the frequency of events, then we may need to have a closer look at your Nest Doorbell (Battery) and understand what may be causing it. You may contact our support team for further assistance here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp

Best Doorbell out there for rental properties.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Perfect for rental apartments or homes. Only had to buy a rotating door bracket to adjust the view from Amazon. Battery lasts for 4-6 months and thats due to having a street in the view. So I get multiple notifications throught the day. I feel if I only select some activity area, battery may last 6-8 weeks easily. Have 3 hrs recording window which is more than sufficient. Camera detects the package and animals really nicely.

Great device, not so smart notifications though.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great device, works well once installed. Has a battery life detector, will alert you about any motion on the doorbell. Has definitely streamlined my delivery and made me feel at ease about packages being dropped off in front of my house. AI is not the smartest and you need to subscribe to see history past 3 months. Sound quality is good, a little bit overblown lighting-wise due to the sun. But otherwise very good. Was not able to connect to previous google home, (so it lives in its own home) but that has not been an issue. I did end up drilling next to the door to install.

Spotty Video Load Times.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It's meh. Pros: Great video, night sight, and package detection. Cons: Spotty load times on videos. Getting a Person notification and the video not available immediately is unacceptable. It happens occasionally, but it happens at that moment you DON'T want it to fail i.e. you're home alone at the end unit in a hallway and you get a person notification but the video won't load. Do better, Nest and Google. It's 2023. Make this work right every time.

Stores 3 hours of video for free
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.(I received a highly discounted product as a Best Buy employee but I have received no other compensation for this review, this review is purely my own opinion) Title feature is probably the major selling point considering a lot of other doorbells charge for any saved video. I also was pretty impressed at the package and person detection ,even more so given how its mostly done on device. Accessing video and speaking to people that rang the door was pretty lag free, unlike a lot of competing doorbells. The doorbell can also handle a wide range of low voltage wiring, which means if you currently have a wired doorbell you probably wire this guy up to it without replacing the transformer(which I did). The video quality while reasonable isn't the best though, although the IR mode is pretty serviceable. Also love the cute seasonal chimes!

Good video doorbell
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a good video doorbell. But missing out on features. I live in IL and it does not have face detection available since IL passed a law to prohibit this feature. You also pretty much need to subscribe. The free version is 3 hrs span. So if something happens at night while you are a sleep, you won't be able to know what happen if it happened over 3 hrs ago. Also, wished it had 24/7 recordings like prior. The good things is the sensor is really good. My other family member has the Ring but many times it doesn't sense motion when standing in their porch. The nest can detect is animal, person, or package. And if package left the camera's view.

Great doorbell!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The camera is great, I am impressed at how clear it is and also how it picks up movement so quickly (it notifies us even when someone has walked by on the sidewalk). My favorite feature is that it tells me both when a package is at the door and when the package is no longer seen.
