Google GA01318-FR Doorbell Kit White

The Google GA01318-FR Doorbell Kit (white) is a battery-powered smart video doorbell that notifies you about activity at your door and lets you answer from anywhere. It features a 1.3 MP camera with a maximum resolution of 960 x 1200 pixels, a 3:4 vertical field of view to show people head-to-toe and parcels on the ground, HDR for high-contrast scenes, and night vision for low-light visibility. The device connects via Wi‑Fi (802.11 b/g/n) and has an IP54 rating for dust and splash resistance. The doorbell provides 3 hours of free event-based video history and supports up to 60 days of event history with a Nest Aware subscription.

Advantages

The Nest Doorbell distinguishes between people, packages, animals and vehicles and sends targeted smart alerts so you can see relevant activity without guessing. Its vertical 3:4 ratio captures taller subjects and ground-level deliveries, while HDR and night vision maintain clear images in varied lighting. Battery power allows flexible, wire-free installation for most doors, and wired installation is supported to use an existing chime. Built-in speaker and microphone enable two-way conversation from anywhere.

Suitable for

• Home entrances where a vertical field of view is needed to see people and parcels
• Homes without easy access to doorbell wiring (battery installation)
• Installations requiring weather-resistant outdoor hardware (IP54)
• Users who want smart alerts distinguishing people, packages, animals and vehicles

How to use

Choose battery-powered (wire-free) or wired installation according to your home setup. For wire-free use, charge and install the doorbell at your preferred height so the 3:4 view captures visitors and parcels. Connect the device to your Wi‑Fi network using the Google Home app, complete setup, and enable smart alerts. For wired installation, connect to existing doorbell wiring to retain your indoor chime. Use the app to view live video, review event clips, and communicate through the built-in speaker and microphone.

Recommendations

Install the doorbell at a height and angle that centers the typical entry path to capture faces and packages within the vertical field of view. Use a stable Wi‑Fi connection and consider a Nest Aware subscription for extended event video history; note that the battery model does not support continuous 24/7 recording.
