FAQs

Can the Nest Doorbell (Battery) record continuously?

No, the battery-powered Nest Doorbell cannot continuously record 24/7 video history, even with a Nest Aware subscription. It records events when motion or sound is detected.

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.

Do I need a subscription for video history?

You get 3 hours of free event video history. For longer event video history (up to 60 days), you will need to subscribe to Nest Aware.

Can I use this doorbell with my existing chime?

What is the difference between this and the wired Nest Doorbell?

The primary difference is the installation method and power source. This model is battery-powered and offers flexible wired or wire-free installation, while the wired version requires a continuous power connection from existing doorbell wiring and may offer features like 24/7 recording (depending on the specific model and subscription).

Is this doorbell compatible with the old Nest app?

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.

Audio issues (cannot hear or be heard)

Ensure microphone and speaker permissions are enabled for the Google Home app. Check the Wi-Fi connection, as poor connectivity can affect audio quality.
