Ive had a ring doorbell and always had connectivity issues. As soon as i replaced it with this, those problems went away. Easy to setup and install.

I would give it 5 stars but google requires a paid subscription to record for an extended period of time.

Good day, Ednytx! Thanks for the feedback and for giving us a good rating on the Nest Doorbell (wired, 2nd gen). We hear your concern about the recording limitations. We value your opinion and appreciate you bringing this to our attention.
The Nest Doorbell (wired, 2nd gen) comes with three hours of event history right out of the box, which requires a subscription before. There’s no fee to stream live videos and to receive notifications. But you’ll need a Nest Aware subscription to receive advanced features, and if you need more than three hours of events history. We offer 2 types of recording for Nest Aware subscriptions: event video recording (30 days). With Nest Aware Plus, you’ll get 60 days of events history and 10 days of 24/7 video history.

Hello there, LatonyaD. We appreciate your feedback, and we’re sorry to hear your experience with the setup and connectivity of your Nest Doorbell (wired, 2nd gen).
A range issue or wireless interference can affect the connectivity of your doorbell. It may fail the connection test during setup, or will struggle to stay connected if you're experiencing a spotty connection or weak signal. We recommend checking your Wi-Fi network to see if your bandwidth is congested. This may happen if you have too many devices connected on the same bandwidth or if your network package is not enough to handle the data traffic on the network. These few steps may also help: - Turn off other devices connected to your WiFi that may relieve network congestion. - You can also try restarting your router to reset your internet connection. You should also restart any Wi-Fi range extenders or repeaters that you have.

Was pleasantly surprised that the refurbished model came with every single piece like it was brand new in the box. Mounting plate, wire attachment, and even the screws were all in yheir respectable places in the box. Unit also works great.

Pain in the butt as far as install. Has to be perfectky flush, about broke my fingerts trying to push this thing onto my vinyl house. Also times out and will not stay on 24/7 as far as display. Downgrade in my opinion, I like the older models beter. Cannot connect it to nest either.
Hello there, BryceM. Thanks for sharing your concerns about the Nest Doorbell (wired, 2nd gen). We’re sorry to hear that your experience didn't meet your expectations.
We’re aware that longtime Nest users enjoy viewing their Nest camera feeds from the Nest app. However, our priority is to build a complete experience for our new cameras and doorbell in the Google Home app. We’re working on bringing full functionality to the Home app as we want to create an integrated experience with other Nest and smart home devices. This device should be installed with the mounting plate and wall screws provided to make sure it’s securely mounted. If not, it may prevent your doorbell from locking onto the wall plate and working properly.

Replaced my previous Nest doorbell. This works better with Google Home than Nest did. There was a lag with Nest with notifications. No problem integrating with existing doorbell.
