Excellent, helpful video! It seems to have good reviews on Amazon as well. Good timing, we just bought a new house so this will help keep an eye on things.
I have so far fixed "one" nest doorbell install, "after the major outdoor wiring project", in-which they had original installer tell them the wire is bad, and wifi is bad, etc. they had tech support on phone and installers out 10+ times. yeah, "we ran a new wire" and I think they fiddled with it to re-setup new device, causing a wire on the back to touch the steel mounting plate, which is apparently tied to one of the terminal screws directly (instead of capacitive/resistor coupled) that caused the doorbell to stay powered and start humming loudly as the nest device ran out of battery power, the old mechanical doorbell was very hot as was the transformer in basement. but never fear, I figured it out in a few minutes(starting by pulling wire off doorbell....
Very cool. Thank you for the install video. How do you protect it from being stolen if someone is familiar with this camera and the way that it is mounted?
Without the mounting bracket the camera doesn’t work so it would take a lot of time/effort to steal. Plus they’d be recorded. Google will replace it if it’s stolen. Details about that is available on their website. Thanks for the question!
I have always been interested in getting a doorbell camera but always feared someone would just steal it. Are there any ways to protect that from happening?
This doorbell has a warranty that if it gets stolen they'll replace it in the US and Canada. They have info on their website to help you out. It’s a good question. Thanks for that!
Been in the Google ecosystem for years and now just getting a nest door bell as I used other brands wish I had just got when it came out yes it's 3 years old now but still one of the best.
Great videos. Any recommendations how to clean/pressure wash brick exteriors? Something easy, and that if sprayed on a aluminum or vinyl windows does no harm.
Thanks so much for this video! My front door is on the second floor, and packages are usually left in front of the garage at the ground floor. Would the camera work if put on the garage trim? Also, if I want to put one of these both at the garage and the front door, would I be able to give them different chimes while using the same app?
The Google home app lets you name each device so you can customize it if you have more than one. The alerts on your phone for the doorbells would also have different names. Ie. front door and garage. I think the chimes would stay the same but I’m not certain. Thanks, Gina!
The little security connectors would be a good addition to a video like this. I am assuming that they go, connect to the back of the doorbell through the hole in the mounting plate so somebody just can't rip the unit off the mounting bracket and if they do they would then have to contend with the security screws.
@DaruDhillon it definitely did. Helped me make a decision because the supposed battery life. My apt doesn't have a chime box because we have no bell. But I will be installing Friday once its delivered. Thank you again!
Would of aimed the camera more in a spot that would allow a better view of where people would stand at the door in case of multiple people. But hey each is their own. But good video.
HI, I really like it. Especially for package detection. The AI facial recognition is only available for subscription which is fine for me. I have the doorbell notifications that pop up on my phone. I would like to get a chime to hear the doorbell inside the house. That's the only issue, but it's fixable. Currently the doorbell notifications come through to the TVs and phones. Thanks for the question! It's a good one.
The doorbell is water resistant and has an IP 54 rating. That means it’s protected from water splashes but you shouldn’t shoot high pressure water at it. Thanks for the question Maria!
Are stolen doorbells an issue? I checked the reviews, which are great and no one has mentioned that. There’s no anti-theft feature. You get a free replacement from Google if that happens.
My issue with this doorbell is not wide enough.
Great video 😊

Glad to hear it. Reviews are an important factor for me too.
Can't wait to collaborate with you Ms. Daru😊
What a great video, Daru! You're the BEST.
Thanks Pablo, back at you!

Hi Mark, I appreciate your feedback on your experience with Nest. It’s good to hear your perspective. Thanks!
Great videos. Any recommendations how to clean/pressure wash brick exteriors? Something easy, and that if sprayed on a aluminum or vinyl windows does no harm.
Thnx.. good video

Thanks for that information. I haven’t come across them. Good to know.
Attention: the facial recognition feature is only available through the paid subscription. I didn't know that when I made this video.
If it's not a high traffic area the battery last much longer than a month, I average about 5 months on a charge.
Good to know. That’s a good point thanks for sharing. This one has a lot of traffic. I appreciate you sharing your experience.
Thanks!
Glad it helped! Thanks

@@chewsmba the battery will need a charge about once a month. It’s not a big deal if you don’t have wires. It takes about 4 hours.
Great video. Gawd she is awesome.
Back at you! Thanks
Would of aimed the camera more in a spot that would allow a better view of where people would stand at the door in case of multiple people. But hey each is their own. But good video.
@@AndyOutdoorsChannel I know I would too but we’ll be featuring a new updated porch soon that will make the placement perfect!
Hi Daru, great review, i would like to use it without paying subscription as well. wondering how is it going with your doorbell?
HI, I really like it. Especially for package detection. The AI facial recognition is only available for subscription which is fine for me. I have the doorbell notifications that pop up on my phone. I would like to get a chime to hear the doorbell inside the house. That's the only issue, but it's fixable. Currently the doorbell notifications come through to the TVs and phones. Thanks for the question! It's a good one.
How does it work? Would you need to have your phone near you in order to know someone has ring the door bell?
I receive alerts on my phone and audible alerts on my TV. You can get a mini Nest speaker if you want. I didn’t look into that option.
What's the size of the drill bit you've used?
It's a 1/4" bit. The one I used is linked in the description box. Thanks!
Is it waterproof?
The doorbell is water resistant and has an IP 54 rating. That means it’s protected from water splashes but you shouldn’t shoot high pressure water at it. Thanks for the question Maria!
ehh id rather hard wire it. the battery sucks in the winter months when it gets cold. more effort but well worth it.
Have you tried the battery powered ones? Thanks
@@DaruDhillon yeah I have. They work fine if you don't want to run wiring or can't but the wired ones just no hassle after you install them.
@@ashishpatel350 thanks Ashish appreciate your response.
hey, is there a way to install it so it cannot be stolen.
Are stolen doorbells an issue? I checked the reviews, which are great and no one has mentioned that. There’s no anti-theft feature. You get a free replacement from Google if that happens.
@@DaruDhillongood answer. i'm paranoid. i could always put a few drops of gorilla glue in with the plugs?
nice video Daru! sadly my google nest doorbell never finds the wifi. sad face.
Sorry to hear that.
How does it ding dong inside the house?
You can get an audible chime. I haven’t done that. I’ve used it for the past several months and love it! Very useful especially for packages.
Are you measuring 4 feet to the mount bottom screw ??
I did it to the bottom, yes.
@DaruDhillon thank you for writing back to me and answering my question
Mine isnt scanning
Are you looking up at the person coaching you or something?
I’ve been having trouble with the focus on my camera. I’m looking up at the monitor to see if it’s in focus. Won’t do it anymore!
@DaruDhillon okay. Makes sense
Oh my gosh Fryyyyyy
What Google doesn’t tell you is that the battery doorbell doesn’t work with any internal doorbell ringers
@@WowRixter thanks for sharing your feedback.
🥺🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️I’m so mad , why we have to charge every two day if is connected ?,🤦🏽♀️
@@myriamolivares4785 I’d contact Google. That shouldn’t happen.
@myriamolivares4785 not accurate
You work so well, i want find a woman with those hands! 🏠
