FAQs

Can the Nest Doorbell (Battery) record continuously?

How long does the battery last?

Battery life can vary significantly depending on factors such as usage, the number of events recorded, and environmental conditions. It is recommended to check the battery status in the Google Home app regularly.

Troubleshooting

Doorbell not powering on

Ensure the battery is fully charged. If wired, verify the power connection and that your existing doorbell transformer meets the voltage requirements. Check the Google Home app for battery status.

Cannot connect to Wi-Fi

Ensure your Wi-Fi network is 2.4 GHz. Move your router closer to the doorbell or consider a Wi-Fi extender. Restart your router and the doorbell.

Notifications are not appearing

Check notification settings within the Google Home app for the doorbell. Ensure motion detection and relevant alert types (person, package, etc.) are enabled. Verify the doorbell is online.

Poor video quality

Check your Wi-Fi signal strength at the doorbell's location. Ensure the camera lens is clean. Adjust HDR settings in the Google Home app if necessary.
