I've watched a number of video's, this has been the most clear and helpful!

[@ljasonbrown]

Perfect instructions. I’m going to install using my existing chime. Thanks 👍👍👍

[@tikemanski3548]

Good instructions friend. Maybe I buy this for my first hause.

[@charlesverrier4008]

This was a big help - my unit now installed wired and working.

[@Cheesez88]

Hi mine’s wired up but it still says plugged in and battery is 65%. I thought it usually charges itself?

[@Must109]

@@Cheesez88 I also thought about it charging itself. But have to take out the doorbell to charge it.

[@losteyesight]

Totally works. MAKE SURE YOU SET THE INSTALLATION TO WIRED! It won't work if you set it up as BATTERY. Thanks man!

[@arewealone9969]

Nice video!

[@mostafamohiuddin]

Great video

[@BigCVlogs]

Thanks!

[@mostafamohiuddin]

@@BigCVlogs no worries keep up the good work

[@benchen7794]

Nice video, thanks. A simple question: when the doorbell connects as wired, does this mean I don't need to charge the door battery every few months? A quick response will be appreciated.

[@BigCVlogs]

Correct. When it's wired, it only switches to the battery in the event of a power outage. You would never have to take it down and charge it if it is wired.

[@-never-gonna-give-you-up-]

What is 8-24 VAC???

[@waldycruz6740]

Thanks for the info

[@billymiller6709]

Idk but I never had to switch from battery to wire it did that automatically after hooking it up to wire

[@deepaksahariaify]

One of the finest video on KZbin! Thanks a ton for your content. Have a question. If we wire the nest battery doorbell, then can we have feature which are exclusive to wired only doorbell? Those features are "2 sec preview and extended clips" & "Continuous video recording with Nest Aware Plus" Planning to buy and use it in India with extract electrical requirement mentioned by Google. Thanks!

[@SimonCher]

Does it still pop up the same notifications on your nest devices as when you were running on battery? Are you able to turn off the regular old chime when it's wired?

[@BigCVlogs]

Yes to both questions. You just unwire the indoor chime.

[@s.henrick1464]

Thank you for instructions! i have followed installation for wired doorbell, but now the doorbell ring sounds as though it hangs up when ringing. I reduced the the seconds that doorbell is to ring and it helps somewhat. any suggestions?

[@igobythisname]

I bought both wired & wireless; the wired installation requires a chime puck be installed; how is this not required when the battery model is hardwired?

[@BigCVlogs]

The battery model basically uses notifications to your phone and Google Home Devices. They didn't even have a chime when it came out lol.

[@adolfosanchez5944]

So would a nest doorbell battery wired ring the chime I already have? and by chime i mean just a regular chime

[@BigCVlogs]

Yes, in the settings you can set it to ring you regular home chime. I have mine disabled because I use the Nest Speakers/Displays. So my speakers say "ding Someones at the front door".

[@geminiclarke7681]

I currently have my Google doorbell (battery) set up but I live in a high traffic area so my camera goes off almost every hour of the day, therefore the battery only lasts 7-10 days. If I wire it to my existing doorbell/ intercom, would it work the same and I wouldn’t need to take it down to charge it?

[@BigCVlogs]

Yes, that's correct. If you wired it, you would never have to take it down to charge.

[@tonyiannazzo1072]

hello great video but I didn't c you do anything to the chime unit in the house, with the old nest doorbell you had to add a box to the inside of the chime

[@BigCVlogs]

With this version you do not have to. It will just ring your old home chime if it is hard wired.

[@xxsky-wingsxxhd7311]

@BigC Vlogs How can the doorbell be charge? If i replace my old rig switch?

[@BigCVlogs]

In this setup, the wires from the house keep the battery at 100%. If you setup the doorbell without a wired setup, then you popup the doorbell, charge it and pop it back on the mount.

[@xxsky-wingsxxhd7311]

@@BigCVlogs okay so is it not possibel to charge the battery and use the old Chime box? Because the switch must closed to have a working electric circuit?

[@Debkghtulvkfjkjfxjjcj]

What does the connector that has to go up with the chime do (that is used with the nest wired doorbell)?? Thanks.

[@heemanchalmaharaj6709]

I’ve been wanting to get a label printer for my small business for the longest time and finally pulled the trigger. I’m glad I did ! This machine is great kzbin.infoUgkxw55tQTywUAAOsbrlwxONZULry77sFF1Q and the blue/green color matches the rest of the accents in my office. My favorite part is how small the footprint is. It’s less than 1/4 the size of my regular printer.Set up was fairly easy. Seller will email you a link with video instructions Which I found to be more helpful than the written instructions. I use a Mac and had no issues. They even included an adaptor for USB to USB-c which is great because I’m always losing mine! I had a few issues getting the labels to print properly and wasted quite a few sheets. You need to play around with the settings to get everything adjusted just right. If you have the wrong settings, it’ll crop off the edges or feed through blank labels. These aren’t issues with the machine though, just user error.

[@zuka-official]

Hi mate, if you charge the doorbell to a 100% before attaching it, then will it drain to a certain percentage and stop there from going down further? Can you max all when on infinite? And one more question, can you hardwire the cables without the extenders, the cables between the screws?

[@BigCVlogs]

Hello, yes you can hardwire it without the extenders and yes it will drain all the way down to 0%. It will tell you when it gets low though. I use the solar panel, haven't had to charge mine in months.

[@reviewassistant6891]

Why get this one opposed to the wired version? my main wish is quickness for the feed to show up on my google nest hub screen, as its for grandparents to check who's at door before answering

[@BigCVlogs]

This one just had the option to wired or use the battery. A new Wired Only Nest Doorbell just passed the FCC so it should be out by next month, after the 10/6 Google event.

[@dwaynejgriffith]

Did you have to remove the Nest device thats attached to the chime from the old Nest?

[@BigCVlogs]

Sadly I am honestly not sure on that. Hopfully someone else will know. I never had the Nest Hello Doorbell.

[@dwaynejgriffith]

@@BigCVlogs ok cool

[@MardellHill]

I want to hard wire my nest doorbell using an outlet nearby. Do I just hook up the back two screws to the Adaptor then plug into the outlet and it will work? Thank you

[@frysquid978]

Im just curious when i plug in the doorbell wire into the connectors i get a white light but it goes away is that normal?

[@BigCVlogs]

I can say, I dont think so. I think the white light should flash till you get the camera setup. I think you can check Google's website for the Nest Doorbell Camera that tells you what the lights mean.

[@tonyiannazzo1072]

Hello question for you why does the google doorbell not display video if it is not connected to the wall bracket, the initial set-up I could see the video on my iPhone but not when I try and turn on the camera from within the Google home App after set-up in my Google home app it won't let me, full disclosure it is not fully mounted on the wall, but why does google do this or is there something wrong with my google doorbell?

[@BigCVlogs]

Yeah that is very weird. You should be able to view it from your phone. I'd try to reboot all devices. (Your doorbell and phone) to see if anything changes after that.

[@lars7411]

Thanks, but you didn't show your converter. It looks to folks (that don't know better and aren't paying attention) that you are hardwiring to 120 VAC.

[@ronb9420]

Hey, did you have to buy a resistor?

[@BigCVlogs]

I did not. I was able to just plug mine in.

[@charlesverrier4008]

Nope. My door chime was at the very low end of the range (8v) so I assumed it would be fine, and it was. Most UK doorbells are very low voltage, which is why I wasn’t able to use the original Nest Hello.

[@Droplip]

Does it have the capacity to record 24/7 if it’s hard wired?

[@BigCVlogs]

Yes... But sadly... Only with a Nest Swear Subscription. 🤦‍♂️

[@BigCVlogs]

Sorry just noticed this was for the doorbell. Sadly no, the doorbell can't record 24/7. Thought this was for the Nest Cam.

[@xex2kok]

Only the old wired doorbell can do 24/7. The "new and improved" battery version cannot ever do 24/7 recording. According to Google it gets too hot. They are just trying to save their hdd space though, it must cost a lot to have a lot of Nest cams storing that much video.

[@smf1384]

can you use the Nest app rather than the Google Home app?

[@BigCVlogs]

No, it only works in the Google Home app.

[@7on]

@@BigCVlogs I wouldn't be surprised if the Nest app went away and the Google Home apps gets rebranded as Nest Home. The Nest app hasn't been updated significantly since the purchase.

[@isaacm6560]

What is the wire thing called? And where can i buy it?

[@BigCVlogs]

Sadly I do not know the name. It was just included in the box. Not sure if it could be bought somewhere or not.

[@Mathew182km]

How long does the battery last?

[@BigCVlogs]

I have mine hard wired, but Googles Nest website says... 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)

[@mvanvonderen]

How is it possible that the Nest Doorbell get’s charged? Because the chime act’s as a circuit breaker?

[@7on]

The chime needs power to make the sound. The Doorbell leverages that. I suppose if you had a monkey dance in front of your door for a week without rest, you'd get a low batter alert. But because the doorbell doesn't provide 24/7 video it should remain topped up @ 75%.

[@Carlos-cx5bd]

So if it’s wired do you still need to charge it?

[@BigCVlogs]

Nope, not when it wired. It will switch to battery in the event of a power outage.

[@kampatel7040]

I think adt security screwing up the people. You need while day to watch video and still not able to solve their doorbell problem

[@Cheesez88]

Hi, I got mine’s wired up but I still get battery percentage on my app. Is that normal?

[@BigCVlogs]

I would think it should not. Mine says "wired" would like an infinity sign for the battery percent. When you went through the setup did you select that you were hard wiring it? I had first set mine up on battery, and had to delete and re-add it to set it up as wired. Unless... It is charging. It's supposed to switch to battery if you lose power at your house. So if it wasn't at 100% and you just to installed it, it could slowly be charging to 100% but I'm not exactly sure on that either. I haven't lost power to test it.

[@Cheesez88]

@@BigCVlogs yeah I did have infinity sign on it. But now it says “plugged in. 65% battery”. Battery life keeps going down every day. I’m confused. Maybe I should start all over again.

[@BigCVlogs]

@@Cheesez88 yeah you might too. When your adding the doorbell back to the Google home app, clicked "hard wired" as the install option. Then you should see the infinity sign. If it doesnt work after deleting it and re-adding it. I would wonder if it's your wiring in the home.

[@Cheesez88]

@@BigCVlogs yeah. I will power test on it. I’ll keep you updated. Thanks for your help. Much appreciated

[@melvinapavon]

@@Cheesez88 hey were you able to get that figured out? I am having exactly the same issue right now

[@User_handle-i1i]

what happens if you "fri doorbell" by installing without shutting power off?

[@BigCVlogs]

I'd say... Send it back to Google by saying "it won't power on" and get a free replacement under the warranty.

[@User_handle-i1i]

@@BigCVlogs so mine works on battery mode only. So is mine fried up?

[@User_handle-i1i]

@@BigCVlogs i didnt bother turning off power bc it didnt do anything on me. Anyhow... it is hooked up but running on battery power.

[@BigCVlogs]

@@User_handle-i1i so it's working but not on wired just the battery? During the setup, did you select that you would be wiring the doorbell or did you select that you would be using battery. I know when these first release last September if you changed from one to the other you had to completely reset up the doorbell. So if you were set up as wired and then moved to a house where you had to use the battery, you had to delete and reset it up.

[@User_handle-i1i]

@@BigCVlogs i initially said battery.. then I changed to wired later

[@7on]

Also, I believe your doorbell transformer needs to be between 8V and 24V. Our transformer was in the basement. Small little thing, smaller than a deck of cards but about twice as thick.

[@mvanvonderen]

Thank you for responding!

[@geekogadgetz5948]

Yeah, the furnace is a good location to find it ;)

[@alanbrito1690]

Hello the wire should be 24v ?

[@domc6799]

The battery version is compatible with 8v to 24v setups.

[@victoriastout5609]

Uhhhhh IT WON'T WORK 24/7 because mine is hard wired and it's dead RIGHT AS WE SPEAK!!

[@BigCVlogs]

Double check your settings to make sure yours is set to wired and not battery. If its set to battery, it will use the battery even when wired.

[@samac6559]

All the time I was waiting for how to screw in wall then u use stickers! Really

[@BigCVlogs]

aww darn, im sorry. I had used the sticker in this video since I knew I would be moving in a few months. From what I can recall, there is an included plate. You screw that plate into the wall and then the camera clips onto the plate.

[@aldaracastro8399]

This doorbell camera is useless, it is an unnecessary expense, although it is connected to the light, you have to charge it, it is absurd, do not buy this type of camera.

[@victoriastout5609]

You are ABSOLUTELY RIGHT, I should have kept my Ring 😠
