Here is a list of my issues so far. Overall I am very disappointed compared to my original Nest doorbell.
Screen is too dark. Exposure is on the street not the front door.
Can't adjust event recording time when plugged in. Event recording is too short. Would prefer 24/7 anyway. Only option up to three mins when on battery. No option when using hard wired power. Some clips only 10 seconds. Update: Just had a person detected at my front door. The clip is only 3 seconds! Can't even see the whole approach to the door or anything! Please make the videos longer. It is plugged in!
Can't scrub the timeline smoothly.
Video events not available immediately. Takes a long time to process. "This video isn't available yet. Check back later."
Resolution seems low. No difference between High and Max setting. Looks better after downloading.
Volume too low on camera.
Can't use Nest app. All the cameras are not together anymore. That really stinks. Please let me use the Nest app.
Camera flashes bright white sometimes.
Lip sync is off. (Downloaded video in sync but not in the app)
Can't save video events. (Update: Found download option under Event Details. Why so hidden?
Keeps switching between color and night vision at night
