Google GWX3T Nest Doorbell (Battery) - Wireless 960p Video Doorbell - Smart WiFi Motion Only Doorbell Camera, Snow, 1 Count (Pack of 1)

Ive not subscribed to any of the services but its not been necessary. Very glad we ordered this, being able to respond to callers when not home or failed to hear the door or bell no longer an issue. Certainly would recommend. Image quality great and being able to talk to callers is fantastic.

I recently installed the Google GWX3T Nest Doorbell (Battery) and I couldn’t be happier with its performance. The wireless setup was incredibly easy, and it’s been a fantastic addition to my home security. The 960p video quality is crystal clear, allowing me to see who’s at my door at any time, day or night. The battery life is solid, and it fits perfectly into my smart home ecosystem, working seamlessly with Google Assistant.One of the standout features is the intelligent alerts, which help distinguish between people, packages, and animals, making it super convenient to stay informed. The two-way audio is also clear, which has been useful for speaking to delivery drivers when I'm not home.The only thing to note is that if you want to take advantage of facial recognition features, you will need to subscribe to a premium service (Nest Aware). While the doorbell works wonderfully without it, the added benefit of recognizing familiar faces is a premium feature that comes at an additional cost.Overall, this is an excellent wireless doorbell, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable and easy-to-use smart doorbell with great video quality and features. It offers peace of mind and convenience all in one!

This is a great video doorbell but be aware there are a few gotchas you‘ll need to be aware of before jumping in and buying it.You’ll need a gmail account, that’s no surprise, but if you are not a fan of Google and their harvesting of your data then this won’t be very useful for you as you really do need an account. There is no microSD card slot to record clips it there it is fully wifi cloud storage based, but unlike other cloud-based solutions Google provides 3 hours free video retention for you to review and download clips as required whereas other products such as Ring must have a subscription.The doorbell is quite difficult to get on the base plate, you really need to align the hold at the bottom then slide it up hard until it clicks. This scared me a few times as I was worried I would break the doorbell but it clicked in place and is secure. Don’t be afraid to use some force here. Removal is also rather tricky even with the provided tool, just becareful or you could damage the recessing notch behind the doorbell. That would be very bad.I recommend you set up zones for motion detection the moment you set it up otherwise everything in frame would set it off from commuters to random birds flying in the sky. This would allow it to focus on specific areas and save you a lot of battery. Trust me.There are occasions when reviewing video clips you see sudden bursts of white frames before the video returns to normal. This is a known issue of the doorbell where the nightvision flashes briefly when the video records just incase but it causes the frame to whiteout. You can fix this by disabling night vision in settings so it should fix the issue, and if your street is adequately lit you can leave it off as well at night as the low-light performance of the doorbell is pretty good.All in all, a great doorbell if you can accept some of it’s foibles.Update: I have used this for over a year and I noticed something interesting. I had the 30 day subscription for 9 months and I noticed the doorbell battery would only last for about 1 month before I needed to recharge it. After 9 months I decided to cancel it as I had alternative video options so it reverted to 3 hours maximum, but I also noticed that the battery would last 2-3 months easily before needing to recharge. This strange behaviour says to me that the 3 hours is stored on the doorbell locally and only streamed to us as required. The services that save 30 days or more requiring uploading to the cloud and that probably is why the battery doesn’t last as long. So if you need a longer battery life, simply not subscribing might be all you need to do. 3 hours of footage should be ample for most people.

- Mounting.Super easy to mount with the provided template! Don't worry if at a later date you decide you need to use the provided wedge to give you that needed tilt the holes are extraly the same as the fixing plate and once locked into place it's super secure!- Setup.The Google home app literally talks you through everything and is super easy to follow! All you need is the home app and scan the QR code on the back of the camera and done! Grate field of view and very good quality which I was a little sceptical about as the specs where not brilliant but it's as good as my 5MP CCTV system!- App settings.Plenty of separate settings you can adjust such as for better battery life or better quality, linger recording ect, even chimes with existing Google speakers!- AdditionalYou can wire to the mains the cables are provided but unfortunately our house has never had a doorbell so we don't have this option but after researching this device for a while even at maximum use it'd last us a month on a full charge and that's with alot of use that's more than we'd probably use but where more than happy with that as it charges relatively quickly.-phone supportWithin a few seconds of the button being clicked all the speakers are ringing to a chime you choose (p.s they have event ones like Halloween) the notification is on your phone with live video footage straight from your notifications! (Android device here)Would I recommend? Yes for a Google eco system and android phones. (Unsure on iOS)Would I recommend for Alexa? Probably not as ring will be alot more optimised for the device.- Draw backs?It is expensive, so I'd suggest waiting for the sales! Then it's a bargain!
