Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons
The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

Event alerting happens almost instantly. The battery life is great so long as you create a custom activity zone. Video starts recording early, so nothing is missed.

This has a much larger field of vision and lets me know if there's a package at my doorstep. Dr. Seuss-like style. A google doorbell, sleek and fine.

Cons

Charging the battery requires removing the doorbell from the mounting bracket which is extremely difficult due to the poor mounting design. On the more battery life mode the battery on this lasts for about 6 weeks, not awful but not nearly whats adver...  Read More

I have google home apps that i use and this never synced to my google home. The google home app is just overkill and clunky for just viewing the doorbell. The zones and notifications are a joke.

Google support once again says it's my wifi, despite solid wifi at point of use. I suspect it's a defective unit, or possibly a design issue. Have tried multiple times for help but keep blaming my own wifi.

Quality


The unit is well designed and wasn’t hard to figure out.


Easy to install, and google is great.

Price


Wonderful to have with a great no fee app.

    That said the battery is a bit lackluster having to recharge it once or twice a week is not too bad but certainly more annoying than i had originally anticipated

    My only complaint is the inconsistency of battery the doorbell i chose to put at the back door lasts true to what i said about the battery however the one at the front door dies seemingly every other day


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    It is not awful and i am fine with charging it often it was just weird to have two products gotten at the same time respond so differently to their lifespans
