I am a huge fan of Google's lineup of security camera products. Ease of use, installation and performance check off all the right boxes for me. My original 1st gen Nest doorbell was on life support by this point since installing it in 2019 since the internal battery has to be replaced or anyone ringing the doorbell will cause it to lose power and reboot even though it is hardwired. I've changed the battery twice myself, but it was time to let her go as the face plate was all but destroyed after removing it over and over. In the box you get the sleek looking Doorbell, installation hardware including screws and mounting bracket/wedge, chime connector, a sticker and the hex key to tighten/loosen the screw. Installation was fairly easy for me as I already had experience with installing the OG before. Now you have to note, when using the Google Home App to help with installation, any previous hardware you have is NOT compatible with the new stuff. This includes the chime and bracket in my case. The App is your friend here and will walk you through all the installation steps from start to finish and to also make sure your home wiring is compatible with the hardware. Now, I am old school, but I will just make 1 rant and be over it, but I do not like how I have to use the Google Home App ONLY to view/change settings for the camera instead of my existing Nest App that I still have a few cameras on. Yes, the Home App can see all my other cameras too, but I just do not like the look of it. Oh well, I already got used to it now. Now the biggest and in my opinion the best improvement is the video quality. Going from barely FHD to 2k was a massive eye opener. I absolutely love how I can see everything so much clearer/sharper then my previous camera, even at night! Though the lens is now a fisheye view, it now sees a lot more area then my previous Gen 1 model. Since I am a regular user of the subscription service, I got an extension on my plan, but all new users get 30 days free to try it out. I love how I can record 24/7 and view my history whenever I wish to.

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.
