Customer Ratings & Reviews

Great doorbell with excellent 2K video quality. The picture is sharp day and night, motion detection is accurate, and alerts are fast and reliable. Installation was easy since it’s wired, and the Google Home app works smoothly for live view and event history. Sleek design and solid performance overall. Highly recommended.

After switching from an Alarm.com doorbell camera to the Google Nest doorbell, I can confidently say this is a much more refined and capable product. The first thing that stands out is the video quality. The image is crisp and clear, with excellent detail in both bright and low light conditions. The vertical field of view is especially useful since it allows you to see packages on the ground as well as visitors at the door. The motion detection and smart alerts are where this device really shines. It can identify people, packages, animals, and general motion with impressive accuracy. I receive specific notifications that tell me exactly what is happening instead of just a generic motion alert. This has significantly reduced unnecessary notifications and made it much easier to stay aware of important activity at my front door. Another major advantage is how well it integrates with Google Home. The doorbell connects instantly and works perfectly alongside my other Google devices. I can view the live feed, review recorded events, and receive notifications all within a single app. The experience feels polished and reliable, which was not the case with my previous setup. Installation was surprisingly simple. The instructions are clear, and the app walks you through each step. Whether you are replacing an existing doorbell or installing one for the first time, the process is manageable without needing professional help. The design is clean and modern, and it looks great once installed. Overall, this doorbell camera delivers exactly what I was looking for. High quality video, intelligent alerts, smooth integration, and easy setup. Compared to my previous system, it feels like a complete upgrade in both performance and user experience. For anyone looking to improve their home security with a reliable and smart solution, this is a strong choice.

Installed this doorbell with existing doorbell wire. Had 20 volts so didn't have to do anything. Comes with everything needed for the install. Connected with my Google home app instantly and works perfectly. Wife wanted to get rid of ugly doorbell ringer so ours rings just to our Google mini's placed throughout the house.

A huge improvement on video quality and field of view on previous generations. Easy installation with seamless integration with google home. My previous generation was working well after 10 years I only upgraded because my home got a new color paint!

I can't praise Google enough. This doorbell and camera does exactly what you expect it to do. But it does it well. The Google home integration along with Matter provides a seamless digital install while the hardware took me approximately 15 minutes. Doesn't get better than that.

I bought this to replace my first gen wired Nest Hello doorbell. Turns out even though it was wired, it still had a battery inside! And that battery went bad and caused problems such as restarting when the doorbell was rung, and it failed to fundamentally function as a doorbell. Thus I had to get a replacement, and I wish this new one does not go bad as the other one cause this has turned into a disposable product if this tech has to be replaced continuously replaced ad nauseum. Anyway, the new one is working fine so far and the image quality is impeccable and the image is super wide.

Works great. Installed it myself with a not included wall plug adapter as my home had not existing doorbell. Took about and hour or so to install with little issues.

The doorbell is larger than previous nest doorbells. The picture is clear, even at night. The sound is crisp. I remove the doorbell and charge it when it’s below 50%. It’s easy to remove and place back on mount.

Easy to install, set up on the App, and great resolution. We have been very pleased with the results and how easy it works with our phones. Makes my wife feel much safer.

The video quality is a step up from their previous generation. For the cost the video quality is okay, but not great. If you need a camera in a low crime neighborhood it's good, but if you need a video capture of faces I don't recommend. The quality is only good if the person is up close.

I like the look and performance of the doorbell. The video quality may not be as high as I would have expected, but that may very well be a wi-fi signal issue.

We have 20 of these all around our property. They work great

Nice video quality, fairly easy to install (did it myself with YouTube videos). I had to buy a plate to go behind it because there's a gap from the old doorbell. Should maybe include such an item, that would be great.

Great improvement over the previous version on both picture quality and viewing angle. Worth the upgrade!

I really love this product. Video quality is great...

Great product that was easy to install and good camera clarity. Very happy with this purchase!

The gen 3 Google Nest Doorbell is so much clearer than my older model. The setup was easy and fast. 100% happy with my purchase!

Really nice doorbell by Google. I happened to have the 2nd gen wired before, and its a major upgrade in terms of video quality, but also quantity, what do I mean? Well the 2nd gen one had good video quality, however it was so narrow I could not see to the sides of my front door, yes, I could see the floor for packages but I didn't need to see so vertically that I could see the ceiling and sky.... Well this one fixes that. The video wider now but will also let you see the floor for packages like before. Video quality has been upped too. Installing it was super easy, even more so if you had the 2nd gen before like me, because it uses the same mounting mechanism! I swapped it in 5 minutes. If not, they include everything you need to get it installed, including an angle wedge if you need to angle the camera a bit. The Home app guides you step by step with pictures how to get it installed. Once installed, this new one has more AI features than before, thanks to Google Gemini. However, you have to pay for it (they do include a free month, which I did not use, because I had a better deal since I also have Google One for more storage on other Google devices). If you use the premium version of the subscription you have access to more storage time and AI features (this include 24/7 recording, AI prompts, like better descriptions of what the camera is seeing). If not, you can still use it without the subscriptions, but you get way less storage and no AI features. I do like it recognizes packages, faces (you can save those for future recognitions of people you know), animals, cars etc. You can create zones too, and choose which alert you our not, so you are not bombarded with notifications. One thing I notices, is Google needs to improve the alert timing and night vision. It feels its software/firmware its not completely out of a beta phase... Specially the alerts, its very inconsistent, sometimes I will get alerts right away, sometimes it will lag some a not alert me after a several seconds even minutes... This is critical, specially if you have packages seating on your porch... Also the night vision... its worse and darker than my 2nd gen, an also, it should not switch automatically to it, I have plenty of light and it should stay in color night mode, however this needs to be tweaked, because if I leave it on "auto", even with so much light on my front door, it still switches to the black and white night vision, which, as stated before, is very bad as of right now.... In all, great improvement over the previous gen, but needs some work on the software side by Google, I have sent some feedbacks (which you can do through the Google Home app), if they take them and fix those little bugs soon, it could be one of the best doorbells out there!

Finally, a video doorbell that just works. I have tried half a dozen different units from varied brands over the past several years and always experienced the same types of issues. Poor connectivity, missed events, slow loading for live feeds, even overheating. All were lackluster and left me feeling disappointed and frustrated. Now, I have the 3rd generation Google Nest doorbell, and all my problems are in the past. It just simply works. It never misses a beat, connects quickly and seamlessly, has incredible video and sound quality, looks great, and was super easy to install and setup. I still get the push notifications with short clips for the things I want such as a person or package delivery but could also select notifications for vehicles and other things as well. It will also let me know when a package has been picked up telling me it is not being seen anymore. It will see people as they approach the bottom of my 7 stairs rather than waiting until they are already at the door if at all. It has also never sent me a false positive so far. Looking through event videos is quick and easy, and it only records what you need to see without extra unnecessary footage. You can see every detail with the beautiful 2k resolution and HDR. It has a ring of light around the button so visitors can easily tell where to press, and LED’s near the lens to indicate when being recorded. The only drawback is also an understandable one, which is that for full functionality you need the Google Home Premium subscription. It did include a month for free of the standard version which gets 30 days of event recordings, smart alerts, and the Gemini AI features. You can upgrade to advanced for 60 days of event recordings, 10 days of 24/7 recording, event summaries, and a few other things. I find the premium to be sufficient for my wants and needs, and the one subscription covers all Google nest cameras on your account which adds excellent value, and I plan to add more later as well. I know there are too many subscriptions in this world, and that gets tiresome, but for my peace of mind in the security of my home I feel like the quality of what I am getting here is worth the relatively minimal cost. This is a phenomenal doorbell camera, it captures every event every time in high quality, and it addresses every one of my complaints about other doorbells I’ve tried. I’m so happy with it and I plan to switch all the rest of my security cameras to the next gen Google nest devices as soon as possible.

This is a worthy purchase or upgrade for anyone who wants a great front doorbell or would like an upgrade from a previous version. Quality is vastly improved, and reliability is great. Additionally, if you have a Google One subscription, it comes with Google Home Premium included with 30 days of video history and automations. Setup: The Google Home app walks you through the fairly easy process. Unless you get it professionally installed, you will need a tiny bit of DIY and electrical knowhow. First, secure power to the doorbell and chime. Hook up the chime to the adapter, install the doorbell (I used a drill for stucco to accommodate the anchors) and turn power back on. The app has a great in-depth video which walks you through every step of the process and also has each step demonstrated in the setup screens. Once paired you will use the Google Home app to interface with the device. I recommend turning on face recognition so you can identify known faces which can assist with your notifications and Gemini reports. My device connected via 5GHz which I preferred over 2.4GHz for better bandwidth for 2k HDR videos. Features and compatibility: The app appears to be compatible with the Google Home app (Android & iOS) and Alexa (Android and iOS). Previous models were compatible with Samsung SmartThings, but I can’t seem to connect this model with it unfortunately. I also do not see any HomeKit support baked in at this time. If you have any Google Home displays or Alexa displays, they will display your doorbell anytime someone rings the doorbell which is a great feature. Additionally, if you have a Pixel watch on your Android phone, you will also get a quick feed. This also works with Google TV devices. Gemini can also interface with Nest devices to give you a summary of what happened that day if you ask it. For example, it will say “there were three people knocking but left, additionally two packages were left on your porch.” Automations can be used through the Google Home app to have various presets and settings used when you come home or leave. Zones are reported so you can have the device only provide notifications in certain areas to reduce too many notifications from coming in. Video / audio quality: I would describe this as outstanding overall. Video comes in at 2K HDR for plenty of details and better handling of light and dark (especially with the Sun). During the day, details are very crisp. I attached two night photos, one with lights and one without lights (infrared on). Both allow me to see cats and foxes running around at night with ease. You can download previous video events as needed in the app if needed as well as communicate with people ringing the bell. You can use simple prerecorded messages such as “I am not home” for example or use the two-way voice comms. The field of view is 166 degrees with a square recording. It is great for getting most of your porch.
