Google Nest Doorbell (Battery) - Wireless Doorbell Camera - Ivy

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.

The only thing I don't like about this Google Nest doorbell is the inability to store video without paying for some kind of subscription. My old Ring would store some video, but this requires a subscription to save video. You can look at the video once and then it's gone. But it's a good quality product that seems to have a longer lasting battery than my old Ring doorbell. Also interacts with your Google Home app on your cell phone and displays video on Google Next Hub when the doorbell rings, a nice feature.

I’ve been using the Google Nest Doorbell for a while now, and it’s been a big upgrade for my home security. The video quality is sharp both day and night, and the wide field of view helps catch packages or visitors without missing much. Installation was super straightforward battery power means no wiring hassles, and the Nest app made setup quick. Motion alerts and familiar face notifications are useful, and I love that I can check live video right from my phone. Battery life has been good so far, and when it does need a recharge, the app gives plenty of advance notice. The battery lasts about 2-3 months-ish even in the very cold northern Indiana winter, Overall this smart doorbell delivers excellent performance with intuitive features definitely worth it if you want reliable home monitoring. I have the whole google ecosystem and its nice to be able to access all of them from one app.

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!

It is easy to connect to Google Home which sends a notification per settings when motion is detected. Has familiar face capability to avoid notifying household members; can be set to weed out animals and cars, too. I will be purchasing another for one of our many other doors. Jul 2025 UPDATE demoted from 5 star to 1 star: I had dropped Mar 2024 doorbell when reinstalling after a charge and broke the lens. I bought another one. Google Nest Doorbell (Battery) - Snow, Sold by: Amazon.com, Supplied by: Other, $119.00, Aug 2024. This one will not connect to WiFi. I have taken ALL the steps, many times over the past YEAR. Why didn't I return it? I figured I was doing something wrong and it could be worked through. I separated my network to 2.4 GHz and 5.0 GHz to ensure it connected to the 2.4. Nope. I spoke with a Google customer service person last night and jumped through ALL the hoops, nope. Then she said to call my internet provider because my internet isn't supporting the doorbell. I asked about the 2.4 and she admitted that was what it needed. When I told her that is directed to 2.4 and I just connected and disconnected 3 nest cameras, a laptop and 2 phones to the 2.4 GHz so it is NOT the internet, she said that's all she could do.

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!

Easy to install, works perfectly!

Love this doorbell. Mounting was very straightforward and the app is very user friendly. Need the subscription to see past recording though.

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

this has to be my most gorgeous doorbell till date. it is extremely motion sensitive hence it will record every single thing. i live in a corner unit with very close proximity to immediate neighbours hence its not easy to change the viewing angles so as not to capture their movements. however, i believe this will be very useful for people who live in houses spaced further apart cctv - the resolution is always good even in dim lighting and there is no lag. it is easy to fix and mount. and lastly it weathers light splashes from rain really well.

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.
