Q: Does this work with the Nest app?
A: No only the Google Home app not the Nest app. See Overview and Features above
A: 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.
Q: What is the difference between the Gen 1 and Gen 2 models?
A: Hello there, AEES! Thanks for your interest. There are key differences between the first and second versions of the Nest Doorbell (wired). The new version has intelligent alerts, Activity Zones and three hours of event history included without a subscription. It also has a taller field of view, and can store video on the device during Wi-Fi outages. Setup and controls for the new versions of Nest doorbells are found in the Home app, while the first version is in the Nest App. Find out more using this link: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/9259110

A: Unplug your wifi and replug or delete your door bell from your google account then reinstall.
Q: hello, can the doorbell work on Lima, Peru?
A: 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.

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.
