Hi 

I have a Google battery doorbell, its approximately 2 years old now.  After a full 5 hour charge it lasts approximately 24 hours before going completely flat.  I have tried restriction motions video time length and even factory reset and still the same. Is this a common thing when they get past a certain age, thank's

Hi TWS1000,

 

Thanks for reaching out here in the Community. Battery life will depend on factors including activity, temperature, and selected camera settings. You can extend the battery life of your Nest Camera by adjusting video quality, length of video clips, time between recorded events, and using activity zones to monitor specific areas. Here are some typical scenarios.


Nest Doorbell (battery)

  • Busy - About 1 month battery life (about 25 - 30 recorded events per day)
  • Typical - About 2.5 months battery life (about 13 - 16 recorded events per day)
  • Quiet - About 6 months battery life (about 2 - 5 recorded events per day

Give these steps a try:

 

Change settings to save battery

Lower the battery usage

When you lower the battery usage, your Nest Camera or Nest Doorbell will adjust video recording settings to do the following:

  • Optimize its video quality.
  • Shorten the length of time for which events are recorded.
  • Take longer to begin recording between events.

Here's how to lower the battery usage:

  1. Open the Google Home app.
  2. Tap Favorites or Devices.
  3. Tap and hold your device's tile> More> Settings.
  4. Tap Battery> Battery usage> More battery life.

Use the battery saver

When the automatic battery saver is enabled, your Nest Camera or Nest Doorbell will automatically adjust its features to help conserve battery.

Here's how to turn on the battery saver:

  1. Open the Google Home app.
  2. Tap Favorites> or Devices.
  3. Tap and hold your device's tile> More> Settings.
  4. Tap Battery> the switch next to Automatic battery saver.

Looking forward to your response. 

 

Thanks,

Emerson
