let's discuss: should nest door bell (battery) ring your phone?

Dear fellow google doorbell users.

I missing something like receiving a call when someone press our doorbell.

The notification is good but nog good enough because i have a lot of people who press our doorbell but saw the notification to late. Does anyone had this feeling to?

Hi BartV,  I have had the Nest HELLO doorbell for years.  And it suffers from a 3-7 second delay from the moment the doorbell button is hit and the time my iPhone lights up with an alert.   Is this the delay you are talking about?  If so it has existed for year across all the Google doorbells.  I believe it has to do with he Google network and not the doorbell itself.  And as I browse other user forums for other manufacturer's cameras I see the same issue pop up. However the Google Doorbells seem to have one of the longest delays out there.

No delay, but more like a missing function. Other brands, displaying a call function when the doorbell is pressed. This would be really handy. Let me give an example: you are in the store but some1 presses your doorbell. Normally you would get an notification. Wouldnt it be handier to get a call so you DON'T miss the person who pressed the doorbell.
