Not much to say other than, if you are a google person, this works will work perfectly in your ecosystem. I have had this for almost two years now and LOVE having it "Watch" my house for me. It even tells me when specific members of my family are home by name!

I had the old version of the nest doorbell and I was hesitating to buy this one but I dont regret is really accurate and specific whether is a person or is an animal. Also I love that let me know when a package arrives or someone take the package . I will absolutly recomend it. Crispy image at night and day. It looks more like 2k

Works better than expected. Easy to install. Nice clear video and ability to zoom does not lose image quality. I prefer the north south viewing area as compared to competitors who focus on East/west view.

I like it so much better then the battery google door bell that was good but a pain to charge the battery and also the gen two wired door bell it has a much better camera which now I can view my door bell and my other nest cameras on my Mac Book with the Google Home for the web which to me is a big change needed and not have to just use the Google Home app. or the nest on my Mac Book which I could not see the door bell.

Great doorbell camera works during the day and at night without issue. And since it’s outside some people shouldn’t have to worry about Google spying on them since that seems to be a topic of concern for a lot of people. It’s also easy to setup.

I bought this to replace my first gen model. Even though these things are wired, there is still a rechargeable battery in it that will die in a few years. The first generation was a much easier install. With this one, I thought I was losing my mind. If you need extra room for the wires, install the angle bracket.

Google's reputation for producing reliable and user-friendly products is evident in this well-crafted doorbell. Its high sensitivity to movement, while sometimes leading to frequent notifications, ultimately offers a sense of security. The video camera provides clear and detailed footage of any activity, including package deliveries.

Best doorbell. Much sharper, clearer, and easier to setup than version 1. I’m glad I purchased it!

Works great. Love the quality of the video and pics. No issues and easy to install. I have it connected to the other nest cameras and like that I can watch them all on one app.

This is a nice upgrade to the original Nest camera. Picture/videos are more clear. Notifications seem to be more accurate. I have the nest ecosystem so the camera synced easily! I would recommend this doorbell camera.

Great upgrade to the previous Nest doorbell camera. Only downside to this is if you upgrade to this (and I believe this is true of other new Nest cameras), you can no longer view it via the Nest app on your smart device. Now Google is forcing everyone to the “Google Home” app. It does work ok but I think I liked the older Nest app better.
Hi there, JimO! Thanks for giving us feedback about the Nest Doorbell (wired, 2nd gen). We’re glad that you like it and we hear your concerns about its app integration.
We’re aware that longtime Nest users like you enjoy viewing the camera videos using the Nest app or web app. However, our long term plan is to use the Google Home app as the one place you can control all of your favorite Nest and other smart home devices along with Google Assistant. In the near future, we’ll allow users to set up previous Nest devices and have full control in the Home app.
Feedback like this helps us identify areas we can work on, and we’ll definitely share this with the right team for future improvements. And if there’s anything we can help you with, please don’t hesitate to let us know by visiting us here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp

Easy to set up. The only downside is that the older generation had a wider viewing angle. This is moreso set up for portrait rather than landscape which limits how much of the front of your house is viewable.

Great picture quality and night vision. If you have a chime box that has enough power you may not need to install the chime adapter to your chime box. Works great.

This mounts easily, connects quickly and works like a charm. The supplied angle wedge wasn’t enough for our setup, so we had to order an afternmarket wedge with a great (and customizable) angle. Beside that, setup and use has been flawless. Recommend this to anyone looking for a video doorbell!

Way better than the previous version. The camera y crystal clear. You also get a biger view with this camera. With the iternet you are able to get notifications of who is in the front door in about 3 to 4 seconds.

I had previously used Amazon Blink’s video doorbell and it kept disconnecting, It made the constant reconnecting tedious and frustrating. So I decided to replace it with this more expensive Google Nest doorbell. It is a HUGE improvement. Not only does it seamlessly connect to the Google home app, but it recognizes faces I’ve identified in my Google photos app and lets me know who is at the door with push notifications. Pretty epic if you’re into smart home tech. I bought the wired version because I didn’t want to mess with replacing batteries.
Downside: This is significantly more expensive than Amazon’s Blink doorbell. Like 3x-4x more expensive. But I think it’s well worth the extra money for the freedom from hassle.
Bonus: if you have a smart tv with Google OS, you can view your video feed right on your tv.
