    Love this doorbell camera!

    I’ve had the Google Nest Wired Doorbell Camera for a while now, and I honestly love it. The video quality is super clear — both day and night — and I really like how quickly it sends notifications to my phone. I can see exactly who’s at my door, even if they don’t ring the bell. The setup was pretty simple, and since it’s wired, I never have to deal with recharging or replacing batteries. The motion detection is accurate, and it does a good job of telling the difference between people, packages, and cars. The two-way audio is also really clear, which is great when I need to talk to delivery drivers or visitors when I’m not home. Plus, it looks nice — modern and not too bulky on the wall. Overall, it just gives me peace of mind knowing I can check on my home anytime. Definitely worth it if you want something reliable and easy to use.

    Squirrel stole the show, Ring Ring

    Oh man, let me tell you about this Google Nest Doorbell Wired (2nd Gen) in Snow—it's like the wizard's eye at my door, straight out of a D&D campaign! Picture this: I'm knee-deep in crafting Goblin Sacks for my MTG crew over at ddwizards.com (shoutout to @ddwizards and @ddwizard on X for the daily chaos), and suddenly, ding-dong! Not the pizza guy, but my phone buzzes with crystal-clear HD video of a squirrel plotting world domination on my porch. No more "Ash can't ketchem" moments— this bad boy catches every sneaky visitor with its smart detection, even in the dead of night, thanks to that night vision glow. As a self-taught bag-slinging entrepreneur who's been grinding through bulk card hauls and YouTube shorts to claw my way back to the big leagues (you know, that epic quest for success after a few plot twists), this doorbell's my new sidekick. It integrates seamlessly with my Google Home setup, yelling "Intruder alert!" (okay, politely notifying) faster than a Planeswalker summoning a dragon. The wired install was a breeze—no wizardry required, just plug and play—and now my front door feels like a fortified castle. Bonus: the Snow color blends right in, looking sleeker than a Mythic Rare foil. If you're juggling a small biz like me, or just want to level up your home security without the hassle, grab this Nest Doorbell. It's not just a gadget; it's the guardian your lair deserves. Five stars, Google—you've cast a spell on me!

    Quality Doorbell; Easily Connects to Wifi

    I replaced a Skybell video doorbell with the Nest doorbell and couldn't be happier. It was easy to install and program with our Nest display and speakers. Unlike the Skybell, this doorbell easily connects to Wifi and easily reconnects after Wifi is restored. The video quality and sound are good. I used the included wedge to angle the doorbell toward the street, which provides a better viewing area. You will need a Nest Aware account for $80 a year to save doorbell video. It's not a deal breaker for me, but I can see why it might be for some.

Questions & Answers
  • What Cain a wire is needed for google nest doorbell the same I use for my regular doorbell or has to be internet wire?

    The new Nest Doorbell (2nd gen, wired) needs to be powered by wires delivering 16 - 24 V AC, and at least 10 VA (in North America) or 12 - 24 V AC and at least 8 VA (in Europe). While the Nest doorbell can replace most wired doorbells, there are some cases where the doorbell system, including doorbell wires, either doesn’t give enough power or gives too much power. In some homes, you may need to upgrade your transformer to meet the doorbell's higher power requirements. However, some doorbell systems are incompatible like a traditional doorbell system that uses very little power, so it’s important to make sure that the wires and transformer (power supply) meets the required amount of power so the doorbell can record videos.

  • I installed the Nest Doorbell version2. I set the ring duration for 1 second, but the chime sounds like it is hanging up. Is there a recommended chime for it? Thank you

    Great question. Most mechanical chimes should be compatible with the Nest doorbell wired 2nd gen. Make sure you have connected the chime connector if it’s required. Without the chime connector, you might experience chime buzzing or unexpected chimes. Here’s a like with more details: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/9247132

  • hello, can the doorbell work on Lima, Peru?

    Hi, pette! Nest Doorbell (wired, 2nd gen) isn't supported in Peru. It may or may not work. Google Nest devices are optimized to work best with specific Wi-Fi standards, depending on where they are sold and designed for. If you choose to export a device from a supported country to a non-supported country, it may experience low performance, may not work as expected, and it may not comply with regulations in the country you've exported it to. It can also cause compatibility issues as availability and performance of certain features, services, and applications are device and network dependent.
