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 disappointing I 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.

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.

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.
