I feel like the lock mechanism could of been done better. 3:36 stated you could also used a flat head screwdriver, that a pretty high chance of getting stolen.

Hey there, thanks for posting. Yes, that's right — Nest Doorbell (battery) is the first Nest doorbell that can be installed wire-free using a built-in rechargeable battery or hard-wired for continuous charging. It also has event history, and built-in intelligence to detect and alert you of people, packages, vehicles, and animals. We'll be here if there's anything else.

I've been using this, and other Google Nest products for almost a year now, they have worked really well. The doorbell has been fantastic as it is rechargeable and never has to have its batteries removed requiring a reset, unlike the Yale Lock which we also have tied into our Google "Smart Home" set-up.

It's great to see a battery on this device.

Mine is falling out for some reason & now it’s getting nicks & scrapes from hitting the ground. It stays on for awhile & then falls. I’m pretty sure i”m putting on the doorbell to the base correctly. I’ll try it again but this sucks for sure.

have been waiting for this for 4 years, I cannot be bothered buying chimes for a doorbell, it should just work with my google home

[adriansoca]

You can use a flat head screwdriver to release it? What's going to stop people stealing these things?

[Blaa_Boi]

This is very tempting as I don't have the option of hardwiring it but I do have a question and it's quite possibly a stupid question, but is each QR Code unique to each door bell so that it is tied to the users/google home account.

As it can be removed from the plate with just a flat head, is there protection from someone possibly robbing it i.e if someone did rob it can it be set up on another person's account without any questions asked as a new device or does it need to be untied from the original users home/account before it can be used again.

I love how they have a small note in the instructions to avoid scratching the lens instead of having a removable plastic cover because of course mine is now scratched.

The Google home app keeps saying "invalid argument" when trying to accept the T&C's to set it up. Reading the t&c makes no difference. What should I do? The camera is useless if I can't set it up.

What is supposed to prevent someone from stealing a Nest doorbell?

"Everything you need to get started is in the box" and "You may also need...." do not go together lol

When would you suggest the best 4-5 hour time period for us to remove the unit for recharging? If we buy this for security why would you require us to remove it at all? Fundamental product flaw to not have replaceable batteries. Removal at any time defeats the purpose

[edelzychiluiza]

It is difficult to get in the right position. Sometimes, it is hard to do it. I love the camera. I love all the functions, but that mechanical part is a nightmare.

[BukuiZhao]

Good, the original Nest font and voice is back

[DeepDiveDavid]

Can i Change the Battery of the device. For example after two years when the Battery lost half of its Capacity?

[AlejandraQuiceno-mr]

How do I get notified if someone is ringing the doorbell? I’m not getting any sound or notification on my phone. It’s pointless.

[amink]

How long does it last when fully charged before having to recharge again?

[treasaesposito]

I have a wireless doorbell and would like to set up Nest wireless. Can I connect it to my Alexa to notify me when someone is ringing the bell?
