Google Nest Doorbell Wireless Video Doorbell

I have been in the market for a video doorbell for a while. The nest battery doorbell appealed to me for several reasons. 1. Installation: as it’s battery powered, there is no need for running cables or messing around with transformers. I just had to drill a few holes in the door frame to install it! (You can wire it up if you want to) 2. Google home: I already have a few Google home devices so this fits in perfectly. I can see who is at the door on tv with chrome cast and have the speakers around the house announce a visitor. 3. Price: this compares really favourably with other products. Some other things I discovered after buying were: - it’s really easy to set zones so you don’t record things you don’t want like the neighbours! - somehow it recognises cars, animals and people - an angled bracket is included to help point the camera where you want it which was very helpful - there is very little lag between motion detection and a notification - the battery life seems really good but if you have maximum quality recording and record every little bit of movement then I suspect it won’t last very long - you can quickly save video clips to your mobile from the Google home app - night vision is decent A few drawbacks are: - you only get events for the last three hours saved in the cloud for free unless you pay £5 a month and then it’s 30 days - if you want to check the camera it can take several seconds to connect - I wouldn’t recommend it if you have mainly Alexa devices Overall, I am happy with it.

- Mounting. Super easy to mount with the provided template! Don't worry if at a later date you decide you need to use the provided wedge to give you that needed tilt the holes are extraly the same as the fixing plate and once locked into place it's super secure! - Setup. The Google home app literally talks you through everything and is super easy to follow! All you need is the home app and scan the QR code on the back of the camera and done! Grate field of view and very good quality which I was a little sceptical about as the specs where not brilliant but it's as good as my 5MP CCTV system! - App settings. Plenty of separate settings you can adjust such as for better battery life or better quality, linger recording ect, even chimes with existing Google speakers! - Additional You can wire to the mains the cables are provided but unfortunately our house has never had a doorbell so we don't have this option but after researching this device for a while even at maximum use it'd last us a month on a full charge and that's with alot of use that's more than we'd probably use but where more than happy with that as it charges relatively quickly. -phone support Within a few seconds of the button being clicked all the speakers are ringing to a chime you choose (p.s they have event ones like Halloween) the notification is on your phone with live video footage straight from your notifications! (Android device here) Would I recommend? Yes for a Google eco system and android phones. (Unsure on iOS) Would I recommend for Alexa? Probably not as ring will be alot more optimised for the device. - Draw backs? It is expensive, so I'd suggest waiting for the sales! Then it's a bargain!

This is a great video doorbell but be aware there are a few gotchas you‘ll need to be aware of before jumping in and buying it. You’ll need a gmail account, that’s no surprise, but if you are not a fan of Google and their harvesting of your data then this won’t be very useful for you as you really do need an account. There is no microSD card slot to record clips it there it is fully wifi cloud storage based, but unlike other cloud-based solutions Google provides 3 hours free video retention for you to review and download clips as required whereas other products such as Ring must have a subscription. The doorbell is quite difficult to get on the base plate, you really need to align the hold at the bottom then slide it up hard until it clicks. This scared me a few times as I was worried I would break the doorbell but it clicked in place and is secure. Don’t be afraid to use some force here. Removal is also rather tricky even with the provided tool, just becareful or you could damage the recessing notch behind the doorbell. That would be very bad. I recommend you set up zones for motion detection the moment you set it up otherwise everything in frame would set it off from commuters to random birds flying in the sky. This would allow it to focus on specific areas and save you a lot of battery. Trust me. There are occasions when reviewing video clips you see sudden bursts of white frames before the video returns to normal. This is a known issue of the doorbell where the nightvision flashes briefly when the video records just incase but it causes the frame to whiteout. You can fix this by disabling night vision in settings so it should fix the issue, and if your street is adequately lit you can leave it off as well at night as the low-light performance of the doorbell is pretty good. All in all, a great doorbell if you can accept some of it’s foibles. Update: I have used this for over a year and I noticed something interesting. I had the 30 day subscription for 9 months and I noticed the doorbell battery would only last for about 1 month before I needed to recharge it. After 9 months I decided to cancel it as I had alternative video options so it reverted to 3 hours maximum, but I also noticed that the battery would last 2-3 months easily before needing to recharge. This strange behaviour says to me that the 3 hours is stored on the doorbell locally and only streamed to us as required. The services that save 30 days or more requiring uploading to the cloud and that probably is why the battery doesn’t last as long. So if you need a longer battery life, simply not subscribing might be all you need to do. 3 hours of footage should be ample for most people.

WiFi version. Works great. Picks up all movement. Very clear video and face recognition. It's bigger than any Ring doorbell and is not subtle. It lights up when it's detects any movement and let's whoever is at the door know it's watching. A good deterrent and as opposed to being subtle. Sound quality is great too. Easy to connect and install. Recommend.

Die Google Nest Doorbell ist von der Hardware her ein gutes Produkt. Die Bilderkennung funktioniert zuverlässig, die Bildqualität ist mehr als ordentlich und sichtbar besser als bei vielen günstigeren Kameras (z. B. Aqara). Auch der Akku hält gut durch – wobei positiv ist, dass selbst die Akku-Version direkt an den Klingeldraht angeschlossen werden kann und dann dauerhaft ohne Nachladen läuft. Die Reaktionszeit beim Klingeln war früher etwas träge, wurde mit den letzten Updates aber spürbar verbessert. Auch der Zugriff auf den Videostream in der Google-Home-App ist inzwischen deutlich schneller. Perfekt ist es nicht, aber im Alltag gut nutzbar. Was stört, ist das starke Abo-Modell. Die Kamera ist auch ohne Abo nutzbar, aber viele beworbene Funktionen wie Gesichtserkennung oder erweiterte Ereignisverläufe sind nur mit Abo verfügbar. Ich selbst nutze sie komplett ohne Abo, das reicht mir – man muss sich dessen aber bewusst sein. Der größte Kritikpunkt ist die Architektur: Die Doorbell ist vollständig cloudgebunden. Es gibt keine lokale Steuerung, keinen lokalen Videostream und keine lokalen Automatisierungen. Ohne Internet ist das Gerät praktisch nicht nutzbar. Für ein sicherheitsrelevantes Gerät ist das ein echtes Problem. Zusätzlich fehlt bis heute Matter-1.5-Support, obwohl die Hardware dafür geeignet wäre. Damit bleibt die Doorbell faktisch im Google-Ökosystem gefangen.

Cualquier telefonillo te cuesta 200. Con este producto puedes ver quien te llama cuando no estás en casa. En mi caso le digo a los repartidores que me dejen las cosas por encima de la pared y puedo ver cómo lo hacen. También puedes vigilar tu puerta. Va perfecto y cuando alguien llama la notificación se activa rápidamente en tu móvil. Es fácil de configurar, tiene buena calidad. Yo la uso mediante batería y a pesar de darle bastante uso, la batería me dura meses. Volvería a comprarla.

Nest Hello user Gen 1 user here 👋. After almost 5 years usinf gen 1, it finaly broke. I replaced with this one, far way easy to install and connect. Night vision is not so good tho. Overall; its nice addation to our Google eco system

Fungerar som utlovat. En olägenhet när den inte är ansluten till permanent strömmatning är att den måste tas lös för laddning av batteri.
