My house is old (built in 1953, y\u2019all), and the doorbell wiring was shot when we bought the house. So I hired a professional to install the Nest Doorbell (wired), and even he couldn\u2019t get it to work properly. We had to drill a hole through the wall to run a traditional power cable to the Nest Doorbell (wired) and skip the house\u2019s built-in chime.<\/p>\n<p>If the Nest Doorbell (battery) would\u2019ve existed back then, it would\u2019ve saved me a lot of time, trouble, and money. That said, the experience provided by the Nest Doorbell (battery) isn\u2019t quite as robust as the Nest Doorbell (wired). It\u2019ll be up to you whether the simplicity of the (battery) model is worth the slightly watered down experience, which I hope to help you decide today.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s talk about it.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Installation_Headache_Free\"><\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" name=\"autotoc_anchor_0\">Installation: Headache Free<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure style=\"width: 1920px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-98617 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/p\/uploads\/2021\/09\/4a128e06.jpg\" alt=\"The Nest Doorbell (battery) mounting bracket\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" data-credittext=\"Cameron Summerson \" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The mounting bracket. It\u2019s literally just two screws. <span class=\"imagecredit\">Cameron Summerson <\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>As I\u2019ve already established, my wired Nest Doorbell was a hoot to install. The guy who installed it (and my Nest Thermostat) was here for several hours getting everything set up, and it wasn\u2019t easy. Granted, a lot of that has to do with the fact that my house is super old, but there are lots of old houses out there, so I know I\u2019m not alone.<\/p>\n<p>The new battery-powered doorbell, however, is the opposite. You just install the baseplate beside the door, lock the doorbell in, and you\u2019re done. The physical installation is dead-simple\u2014it took me about 10 minutes, including putting the doorbell on my Wi-Fi and all that. So easy.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, you <i>can<\/i> install the new doorbell with a wired connection, too, which will complicate the setup. But I figure most people considering this doorbell are doing so for the wireless, battery-powered aspect, so that\u2019s what I\u2019m going to focus on for the most part.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 1920px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-98618 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/p\/uploads\/2021\/09\/5ffd7e57.jpg\" alt=\"The back of the doorbell, showing the wiring mounts and charging port\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" data-credittext=\"Cameron Summerson \" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The wiring points and charging port on the back. <span class=\"imagecredit\">Cameron Summerson <\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>That said, I want to talk about the wired option very briefly (and then never speak of it again). You might think that wiring the Nest Doorbell (battery)\u2014have I mentioned that I dislike this naming scheme? It makes for some super awkward writing, ugh\u2014will basically turn it into a Nest Doorbell (wired). Nope, not the case. The (battery) model still isn\u2019t capable of 24\/7 monitoring like the (wired) model. Wiring it simply makes it work with your home\u2019s chime (alongside powering it), which seems like a bunch of unnecessary hassle to me.<\/p>\n<p>Installing this guy with just the battery is the way to go. If you want it wired, you\u2019re honestly better off getting the dedicated (wired) model for the extra benefits, like an always-on video feed.<\/p>\n<p>However, if you\u2019re trying to decide between the two, there\u2019s one more thing to consider: the size. The Nest Doorbell (wired) is a pretty small little thing. It\u2019s obvious what it is, but it\u2019s not really obtrusive. The Nest Doorbell (battery) is a big ol\u2019 thing. It\u2019s probably twice the size of the wired model, which is wild. Maybe it\u2019s the battery? Maybe it has more guts for all the on-device detection (that we\u2019ll talk about shortly)?<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 1920px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-98619 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/p\/uploads\/2021\/09\/f0d6222e.jpg\" alt=\"The Nest Doorbell (battery) compared to the (wired) model\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" data-credittext=\"Cameron Summerson\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">it\u2019s a thicc boi <span class=\"imagecredit\">Cameron Summerson<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>I\u2019m not sure.

I know more than one reviewer who had issues installing the battery-powered model because of the size.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Use_and_Battery_Life_Absolutely_Brilliant\"><\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" name=\"autotoc_anchor_1\">Use and Battery Life: Absolutely Brilliant<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>This is the least resistant way to do it if you\u2019re a Google\/Nest user looking for a doorbell that will record events and let you know when someone is at the door. As previously mentioned, it doesn\u2019t have an always-on video feed, but you <i>can<\/i> look at the live feed whenever you want. Just keep in mind that the more you view the feed, the quicker the battery will drain. But more on that in a bit.<\/p>\n<p>Unlike the Nest Doorbell (wired), which lives in the Nest app (for <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=com.nest.android\">Android<\/a> or <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/apps.apple.com\/us\/app\/nest\/id464988855\">iOS<\/a>) and is only accessible from the Home app, the Nest Doorbell (battery)\u2019s entire existence is held in the Home app. That means you set the camera up in the Home app (for <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=com.google.android.apps.chromecast.app\">Android<\/a> or <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/apps.apple.com\/us\/app\/google-home\/id680819774\">iOS<\/a>),\u00a0<i>and<\/i>\u00a0the Home app also generates all event notifications. This is great for anyone embedded in the Google smart home ecosystem, which is almost certainly anyone considering a Nest doorbell. I wish Google would hurry and move all Nest products away from the main Nest app and let them live their best lives in the Home app. One app for all of the stuff, please. Please? Please.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-98627\" src=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/p\/uploads\/2021\/09\/ecb100b7.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"230\" height=\"511\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/>\u00a0<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-98628\" src=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/p\/uploads\/2021\/09\/2a5c0f91.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"230\" height=\"511\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/>\u00a0<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-98629\" src=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/p\/uploads\/2021\/09\/b9c8dd99.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"230\" height=\"511\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Despite lacking an always-on video feed, the Nest Doorbell (battery) does have always-on activity monitoring and alerts. So if it sees a person, package, animal, vehicle, or general motion, it can alert you. There are a couple of noteworthy things about this: To start, the monitoring here all happens locally on the device, so it doesn\u2019t require Nest Aware. This is in contrast to the wired Nest Doorbell, which requires Nest Aware for most advanced alerts, like package and sound detection. That said, both models require Nest Aware for Familiar Face detection because that happens in the cloud regardless.<\/p>\n<p>Secondly, these alerts are completely customizable. We have outdoor cats, so I don\u2019t want to get alerts every time my doorbell sees a cat in the backyard\u2014yes, I know she\u2019s there. She\u2019s always there. Similarly, I don\u2019t need package detection because I have the battery model installed at my back door. Motion? Sometimes. But it can get annoying, too.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, all that is to say that you can completely customize these notifications, which is nice. The fact that you don\u2019t have to pay for most of them (save for Familiar Face detection) is also a huge bonus in the battery model\u2019s favor. To make the deal even sweeter, I didn\u2019t notice a difference in accuracy between the two, either. The only time the battery model sent a false positive is if someone carried a box (or similar thing) in\u2014it thought someone delivered a package. Otherwise, I got almost no false positives from the battery model.<\/p>\n<p>Compared to the wired model, one thing worth noting with the battery model is the lag when someone rings the doorbell. I\u2019m not sure if it\u2019s because it stays idle most of the time or what, but my Nest Doorbell (wired) takes about 3 seconds to send a notification to my Nest Hubs. With the battery model, that\u2019s about 10 seconds, which is a significant difference. That may be a dealbreaker for you, but overall I think it\u2019s fine\u2014just something else to consider. The battery model also has a narrower field of view (140\u00b0 vs 160\u00b0), but that\u2019s unlikely to matter to anyone who doesn\u2019t have both models.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, let\u2019s talk about battery life. That\u2019s a big concern with a battery-powered doorbell because you don\u2019t want to have to charge it every other day \u2026 or even every other week. Fortunately, the Nest Doorbell (battery) just seems to keep going and going.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-98620\" src=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/p\/uploads\/2021\/09\/654c4872.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"345\" height=\"767\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-98621\" src=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/p\/uploads\/2021\/09\/2975ce10.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"345\" height=\"767\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve had it installed for over a month, and I didn\u2019t fully charge it out of the box. I think it had about 80% (or so\u2014I should\u2019ve taken a screenshot) battery when I put it up. Today, about five weeks later, it still has 23% remaining. That\u2019s pretty impressive on its own because it was up during the hottest part of the year where I live\u2014there were multiple 100F+ degree days, which I expected would drain the battery faster. But it didn\u2019t seem to.<\/p>\n<p>The other nice touch is that there\u2019s an estimated time available in the Home app. For 23%, it tells me that it has about two weeks of juice left. That\u2019s still quite a bit!<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 1920px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-98695 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/p\/uploads\/2021\/09\/f1e96fee.jpg\" alt=\"The key to remove the doorbell\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" data-credittext=\"Cameron Summerson\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The key to remove the doorbell.

The Nest Doorbell (wired) is superior because it has an always-on feed, but it\u2019s equally inferior in other ways. The biggest benefits of the Nest Doorbell (battery) are the simple installation and the fact that it does more on-device monitoring for alerts, which saves money on a Nest Aware subscription.<\/p>\n<p>That last point is crucial: To get the most from the wired model, you\u00a0<i>need <\/i>a Nest Aware subscription, which is $6-12 a month depending on which package you go with. You may still want this with the battery powered model for event history, but otherwise, the only added benefit there is Familiar Face detection.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s also the size to consider, which may or may not be a dealbreaker for some. If you have plenty of room on either side of your door, then the big ol\u2019 beefy battery boi may not be an issue. If not, well, you\u2019ll need to take some precise measurements.<\/p>\n<p>But ultimately, they\u2019re both great doorbells, and I\u2019m very happy with each of them for different reasons.
