Works like new. I can see my entire driveway and front lawn, and that's without angling the camera. Night mode works fine too, I can see everything clearly. I am able to make zones so instead of the constant notifications I only get notifications when something steps foot in the zone.
I do notice when its dark, raining & windy it'll say a car comes by because its picking up the rain droplets. So just keep that in mind

I replaced my 1st gen Nest doorbell camera with this camera. The picture image is only slightly better than the 1st gen. The google app is not as good as the Nest app. The nest app let you scrub the whole time line, while the google app just gives you snippet of video and you can scrub through. If you don’t have a doorbell camera it’s pretty good, but if you have the gen 1 nest doorbell you might want to stick with it.

Hey there, ThomasF. Thanks for taking the time to share your detailed comparison of the Nest Camera (wired, 2nd Gen) and the 1st Gen Nest doorbell camera. We appreciate you highlighting the picture quality improvement and understanding your concerns about the Google Home app's video timeline compared to the Nest app. While the visual improvement might be modest compared to the 1st Gen, the 2nd Gen camera offers features like HDR and a wider field of view that might be important for some users. For the 2nd Gen camera, we encourage you to explore the timeline features currently available in the Google Home app, including filtering by motion events and specific time frames. If you have more questions and other concerns, we recommend reaching out to our dedicated team of specialists on the Google Help Center here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp. We'll be more than happy to help you.

I normally have awesome luck with refurbished, but this one was a fail. The previous person striped the holding screw, so it wouldn’t stay mounted. Bought a new (not refurbished) and there was no issue. Seriously took me 5 min to set it up (this was my second one to install as I had an original nest). Refurbished is always hit or miss, but usually not the products fault.

Works great, might want to consider a different doorbell if you have multiple chimes in your house.

Installed the Nest Doorbell, found it quite easy. The hardest thing was to find enough doorbell wire to use on the doorbell but was finally able to & get it wired. Connecting it to the Home Nest & the WiFi was easy and has been up & working for a few weeks.

Good doorbell camera if you are in the Google ecosystem. Works with my chime which is 16v 10A. You can set up the Google Minis to play the doorbell ring if needed. I can also speak to people through my PC if configured properly. Would recommend to a friend.

Poor Quality and Access

Tried it for a week and decided to return it because of poor quality picture and alot of problems with accessing video via cloud storage. My Internet download speeds are around 500mb down so you think you would expect more from Google if you're paying $80 a year to access cloud storage.

I replaced a Eufy doorbell with the 2nd generation nest wired doorbell. The Eufy had a 20 second delay from the camera to my nest display. The nest doorbell has a 1 or 2 second delay. Much better.
The video is not as clear as Eufy but still adequate. The nest aware subscription is annoying but necessary if you want to go back over three hours.

I was a bit hesitant to get the refurbished Nest Doorbell (wired) but was attracted by the savings. It arrived looking great, was easy to install and its working great!

I love the weather resistance and AI upgrade for notifications of this version compared to the old Google nest hello, just sucks the camera range is not as wide as the old generation but that's my only complaint. The install was easy and I like the fact it works in the Google home app with all my other upgraded cameras.

Working as intended. No Complaints so far. I am not concerned about getting a refurbished product from best buy. Only thing missing was the original box.

I couldn’t pass up the savings on a geek squad referbished product. Came like brand new with a couple spots of use noted but no damage and, weeks later, theres no issues.

It's the first time I try the refurbished product. It's good quality. I have the older version before. But this one have much better camera, high resolution.
