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.

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!

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.

Yes yes yes. This door bell is soooooo nice. The app set up is with google so make sure that you create an account. But let me tell you, I see everything!!! I have a piece of mind now and don’t have to go look and see who is at my door. Definitely a homeowners must have. Eventually you will need a subscription to view activity that your camera catches but it is worth it. The sound quality, night vision, and video quality are all really good.

I am in love with this doorbell. It was assembled quickly and without issues. Instructions are clear on step by step. I also love the fact that it catches everything opposed to my Vivint doorbell. Everything is easy access with the home account. Looking at purchasing the hub and deadbolts next.

Easy installation even with electric involved instructions are detailed. Camera quality is great and the cloud of saved movement is great for keeping tabs on what’s going on

The Nest doorbell wired camera is awesome. The installation with the step by step instructions are very detailed and is easy to follow. The camera is very sensitive it was picking up vehicle movement at a great distance. It also picked up an firework going off at 12/31/2022 see the attached picture. I am very pleased with this purchase.

After much rereading and redoing the installation guide and finally ignoring the final picture, I was able to get it installed. (The final picture seemed to indicate the tiny center light and the outer ring should be lit to begin pairing. That was untrue.) The doorbell and camera work great! The camera could be better, but it works well. I’m impressed that I get alerts no matter where I am.

Reviewed all smart doorbell options and this 2nd edition provided the most free features. However, we upgraded to the yearly subscription with more features. Looking forward to the ai face recognition. There has been neglible false alerts for the settings we applied. Additionally, there was a great price for the wired version which was needed due to having cold winters. Install was easy. Needed to upgrade to a stronger doorbell transformer but not too difficult either.

Good camera. Catches everything that passes by and recognizes animals, people, vehicles, and packages. If your packages is gone you get a notification.

Setup and installation was a breeze. However, after 2 weeks it lost connection and had to exchange it for a new one. Luckily i bought the warranty and had it replaced. However, I had to waste money on buying a warranty for the replacement.

Great picture quality and connecting with the google home app couldn’t be easier. Set up and installation didn’t take longer then 10 min at the most

I wanted a doorbell that better integrates with my Google Home and android setup. The camera was a pain to get connected to router even though all the other devices connected quickly. Then I think this thing keeps blowing my doorbell chime transformer. The chime connector was the worst. Wouldn't connect no matter what. Google tech support told me 5 diff things were wrong with it except what was actually wrong with it. Super pain. Good luck with the chime connector. There should be an option to connect to a doorbell chime that plugs into an outlet instead of dealing with the transformer etc. Live video is not super clear at all.

Large camera view. Easy to install. Notify's you of people and packages. Highly recommend.

Very easy to set up with the Google home app. I chose the 'wired' plug in version because our old doorbell wire was no good. Nice Camara view and notifications - Right now it is set to notify me of 'people' and 'packages' - works great although I need to narrow the scan, so it doesn't notify me when people walk by out in the he street. Looks good and works great l!

So nice to see who is driving up and the doorbell rings on all my nest minis so even if im in the garage i know when someone is here. The only thing i dont like is that the video clip only stays in the application for 3 hours. I can save it during that time but if I dont get to it, its gone. You can get a supscription to save them longer but i don't need another subscription.
