Google - Nest Doorbell - Ivy

Very good door bell

I cannot recommend this product more!!! The camera quality is far better than any other door bell camera i have seen. It’s also very sleek and neat, fitting in well with a modern home. Battery life is excellent, I have only charged it twice and we have a lot of comings and goings outside our door. Step by step set up making it easy for anyone to put up. Slightly more expensive than some others but well worth it!

Surprisingly good, i got the american import battery versio . Lens can be foggy during rain so maybe find a snap on rain hood. Simple to fit, looks good and works well. I have since subscribed to nest aware and love the 30 days of video storage. Impressed so far!

Don't buy!!The product inconsistently links to googlehome app.The app is poor and support is disappointingI will be returning this if not resolved

Generally, quite disappointed and I ended up returning the doorbell. The primary function of a doorbell is to alert householders when someone rings it, and the Nest doorbell fails on this measure. Integration with my partner's iPhone proved to be tricky as the phone is always on silent to avoid interruptions. For me, on Android, the alerts were simply not loud enough and it was easy to miss a caller. Apart from that, the video quality was average at best and the vertical letterboxed orientation of the video was unimpressive (a standard or wide-screen orientation would be better). There were also concerns about the battery life and a sourcing a suitable power supply (24V AC/AC?) was not well supported or even documented by Google/Nest. No Nest branded power supply is available and I needed to revert to third party products to set this up. Similarly, integration with wireless chimes or existing wired chimes is not well documented or supported.There is another design quirk that probably needs attention; the doorbell has a longitudinal shape with two circles at either end - one for the camera and for the bell. I feel visitors could be confused about how to operate the doorbell trying to press the camera lens instead of the doorbell button. Overall, I feel the design of this product needs some revision to make it suitable for use, particularly in United Kingdom.

Not good at all your phone doesn’t ring when someone is calling

Very good doorbell...with absolutely rubbish battery. Lasts Up to 7 days on minimal settings: min video quality settings, minimal detection zone, minimum sensitivity, short clip length.Have it for 2 months and had to charge every week.Don't know, maybe got a faulty device. But, apparently, I am not alone with this issue.

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.

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.

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.
