Nest Doorbell (Battery) - Ash

I love my nest doorbell! We recently purchased this doorbell after having vivint. We loved vivint but we didn’t love their prices! I will say the camera quality of the Google nest is actually really good! You can zoom in and out, you can speak to people through the doorbell, it records motion & also keeps track of your deliveries and packages! The battery life is not bad at all especially for being battery operated! We charge our battery once every 3-4 weeks which is honestly really good! It provides really good night vision and super easy set up! Plus there are no hidden fees, no app fees and no weekly bills! It connects to your cell phone with Bluetooth & WiFi and overall just a great deal. After my mom saw mine, she ordered one for her house! ADT security uses the same cameras and they mark up the prices to install them.

I am beyond satisfied with the Google Nest Doorbell (Battery). I chose the Ash color, and it looks incredibly stylish and modern next to my front door. It’s not just about looks, though—the performance is top-notch. The installation was a breeze since it’s battery-powered, and the video quality is crystal clear with a perfect vertical field of view, allowing me to see packages on the ground and people from head to toe. The smart alerts are very accurate; it distinguishes between people, animals, and vehicles, which prevents unnecessary notifications. As a busy parent, being able to check who’s at the door directly from my phone—or even seeing my son arrive home from baseball practice—is a huge peace of mind. If you’re looking for a doorbell that combines high-end technology with a beautiful aesthetic, this Nest Doorbell is the way to go. Highly recommended!

Cons: The battery life is shorter than I'd prefer but not so short that is not workable. I can leave it up for over a week at a time on a full charge. The "home" app displays the percentage of charge it has and how long that should last it but the time estimate seems to be way higher than accurate. It's also much bigger than i expected but I'm given to understand that most of these video doorbells are this way. That is also because this is the battery operated model which is bigger to accommodate the battery. Pros: Setup was very easy and it walks you through installation if you need it. Installation is also a breeze. Very simple and straightforward with the option to use an angled block behind it or not, to suit your preference. The picture quality is largely dependent on your internet and distance from the router to the doorbell. But it's always been plenty clear enough to tell what or who is in frame. The night vision turns on right when appropriate and makes it very clear. Audio quality is great. I have had conversations with my daughter while I'm at work as she gets home. She can hear me perfectly and I can hear her clearly as well.

This is a product with a flaw you might want to overlook if it's on sale, or because it works so great at a friends home. The flaw is so serious, I want to give you the most warning possible, since it's a good product, they are very committed to covering up the issue, not acknowledging it within their support structure in manuals or online. They hide this because they cannot solve it, and will quietly solve it before the next design series so they never have to admit it happened. After the first time you set it up beautifully - you will never be able to change any aspect of the setup arrangements codes, location or information ever again. So, if you are 100% sure you aren't moving within ten years, and never will have any need to change the password on your home internet access or server for security reasons - then go ahead and get it. IT's cool. DETAILS: It cannot be reprogrammed to "factory settings" which is the last ditch effort we make with electronics that fail us while still in perfect condition. Resets DO work.. NOT WITH GOOGLE NEST doorbell cameras. Logical explanations. Two companies merged, companies where safety is important, so they can't trust each other with access to their previous customers, so you never can combine your security home system in GOOGLE HOME completely - likely EVER. I have devoted MOST OF 2025 to this problem - MONTHS. I am an IT person. I have help and resources, I take care of elder vulnerable clients with money and valuable possessions. I own SEVEN cameras, doorbells and video security devices for ONE SINGLE ADDRESS IN A GREAT NEIGHBORHOOD. Did you know the "doorbell camera" concept does not come with AN ACTUAL DOORBELL? It's cute as hell to look at and press the fancy button. But there's no doorbell anywhere or on the other side. We live in the upside down. Just be aware - who will you call when the complicated professional way to make your cameras work again after you change the password - doesn't work at all.

We love this ring bell camera from Google its very nice also we can speak through the microphone when we are not home or when we don't want to open the door. The video looks clear

I ordered two of these during one of the sales, and they have just been wonderful! I love being able to customize the settings of what alerts me, selecting a zone to focus on or have full range. Installation was extremely easy, and charging does not take too long at all with the battery lasting (in a not busy neighborhood and only 2 people coming and going from the house mainly) many days to several weeks. My only complaint is the inconsistency of battery: the doorbell I chose to put at the back door lasts true to what I said about the battery, however the one at the front door dies seemingly every other day. I have adjusted the settings, set a zone, and yet without fail it lasts probably 1/10 the battery life of the other doorbell. It is not awful and I am fine with charging it often, it was just weird to have two products gotten at the same time respond so differently to their lifespans. But, despite the strangeness of the one battery, I absolutely love this product and have several google cameras at this point to keep my home safe, and be able to say hi to folks!

It's fantastic. I've had zero problems with it, I connected it immediately and setup notifications on my phone to tell me when someone is at the door. It can be set to not pick-up foot traffic outside of a certain zone, and thus far I've had no problems with it at all. Pros: - The battery life is insane. I bought it at the beginning of June and it's now mid-September, and the battery life estimate is 36 days currently. The time to re-charge it would be maybe a couple hours on a USB-C connection, and I'll probably do that on one of my days off next month when I'm having lunch at home. - Notification speed. When I leave the house, I'm pinged on my Garmin watch within 1-2 seconds that someone was detected at the door. I don't have it setup to recognize me, so it just sees a person at the door, and I'm notified instantly every time. Same when I come home, I'm getting a ping before I even have my keys out. Cons: - The field of view is a little smaller than I would like. If you're quick, you can entirely dodge the camera by moving to the inside of my door. You'll still get picked up, but it's possible to not have your face detected. This is less a flaw of the camera and more the placement that I have to work with, but the option for more FoV in smaller areas like this would be great. - False positives are a thing. If you look at the camera at night by manually accessing it, the camera will detect the change in light from itself and notify you of motion. A little annoying, but you can turn off motion detection pretty easily which will solve the issue entirely. Overall, 5/5 stars for me. I use it every day and it's been an absolute life saver for someone living in an apartment complex with no ability to hard wire a connection. There's a no-drill mount you can get from Wasserstein, that is by far the best one I have found and it's wonderful. You will break the camera before you break the mount (I've had someone try once already), and it's held up wonderfully. Huge recommend on my side.

I’ve been really happy with this doorbell. One of the best things is that it’s battery-powered, so I didn’t have to mess with existing wiring or a complicated setup. Installation was simple, and the app was easy to connect. The battery’s easy to remove and recharge, which makes upkeep super straightforward. The video is clear, motion alerts have been reliable, and it’s just nice being able to check who’s at the door when I’m not home. All around a great product. I’d definitely recommend it if you want something hassle-free and wire-free.

Set it up properly and you will get a long battery life. We bought 1 to try and with some changes to settings, estimate 7-8 weeks of battery life before a charge. Probably charge at 6 weeks so we have full functionality. Quality is excellent, detects people with packages, unfamiliar faces if you subscribe to Nest aware. I turned off vehicle detection and lowered the sensitivity so it is not telling me every time someone walks down the road. Be mindful installing it near your outdoor lights as it may make night visibility had with glare. We will get another 1 or 2.

Easy to install and works great.

The item freezed .i tried to reset according to the troubleshooting BUT it didn't work.i have only used it for 1 month

The features are amazing! Can be used right out of the box with no fuss. Or, if you prefer, set zones you’d like to watch, choose which activities (people, packages, animals, movement) you’d like monitored and record the video for viewing now or later. You can even talk to people at your door, whether you’re home or not.

Good and night camera vision and wide angle. No need for subscription pymts unless I want extra features. Battery mode works great so no need to have it wired in. Get notifications no matter where I am. Keeps an eye on my car
