The Google Nest Doorbell (Battery) (opens in new tab) is our pick for the best video doorbell (opens in new tab), and it’s easy to see why. It has a great design, is simple to install, and has a lot of great features included for free (that other video doorbells charge for). For example, the Google Nest Doorbell offers free person, animal, package, vehicle detection, and can also store 3 hours of video on the doorbell itself for free, too. So if your internet or power goes down, your video doorbell won’t let you down. Plus, even though it’s called the Google Nest Doorbell Battery, you can power it either by battery or by wired connection.
