    Wasn't a bad price while it was on sale, but the big issue I have with it is the fact Google is currently transitioning from their current nest app over to their Google home app completely. So I have to switch back and forth to watch all my cameras. I liked the nest app layout much better.

      Hi Dans, thanks for your feedback. We´re sorry to hear about your frustration with the Google Home app.

      The new Nest Cameras and doorbells are exclusive to the Google Home app because we wanted to create an integrated experience with other Google Nest speakers and displays. We wanted to make the Google Home app as the one place you can control all your favorite Nest and other smart home devices with the Google Assistant. If you already have some Nest cameras installed in your home, you may transfer them to the Google Home app. Here´s a guide that you can follow: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/9893532

      For any other support needs you may have, please feel free to contact us here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest

    This was an addition to several other cameras. Easy to add to the Google Home app (although I preferred the Nest app-better UI.) would've given it 5 stars but the design is horrible. Like the old streamlined black design w/a much lower profile.

    A bit disappointed, the product works well during the day. Picture quality is great but it gets the reflection from the window so it does not work as expected at night.

      Hello there. Thanks for taking the time to post your feedback, and we’re sorry to hear that your experience with the Nest Doorbell (wired, 2nd gen) is below your satisfaction. We suggest installing the wedge to angle your doorbell away from bright lights, or to install the doorbell in a shady spot. You should also make sure that any nearby surfaces or objects (like a wall) are out of view, since the doorbell’s infrared light can reflect off a surface.

      Let us know if more help is needed by visiting us anytime here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest

    I bought Nest cameras (indoor and outdoor) starting in 2016 and have been a big fan over that time. I currently own 5 cameras. When asked, I tell people they work great and are much less buggy than I expected. I like them and expected that to continue. Plot twist. I recently purchased another camera (Nest indoor camera, wired). I bought it without doing any incremental research. After all, I know and love the cameras and ecosystem so what's there to learn? Funny story, I've spent over 5 hours of frustration on this project (simply setting up one more camera) and am swearing off Nest (now Google) altogether. I'll spare you all the sad details but after a 69 minute call with an earnest but clueless tech support agent and another 48 minute call with a more competent, more embarrassed, tech support agent, I learn that I can't stream video from the new camera onto a computer! That functionality doesn't exist. I had to have the agent repeat it several times because it's such a bewildering absurdity in the year 2022 from a not-small company called Google. Turns out I can only stream video to an app that only works on a phone. Furthermore, I cannot create video clips to download and save. For some reason, it only allows me to save "events" that are predefined by an algorithm based on movement/noise. But this will NEVER produce the correct start and stop points for the videos I want. The sliders in the legacy Nest ecosystem work just fine in creating video clips. And on my legacy Nest cameras, I can actually see the video streams in a browser on a computer, which I must state again is not possible on the new camera!! We're going backwards here, fast. Also, there's no way to quickly scroll back in time like in the Nest app, where you can easily navigate to past days and hours without eternally scrolling back in time on a minute bar. Also, the metadata is incorrect as it has date of the download rather than the date the video was recorded. It seems like the software team on this product has never actually used the product in the real world. The crazy thing is that my 5 cameras purchased in the past that still can use the legacy Nest app are working great and that software still works great. I'm shocked Google would put out such a poor product that resulted in so much wasted time/effort on my part (as well as your customer service people). Did the hardware launch somehow surprise the software team? Or did managers just conclude that reducing functionality was worth it so as to lower coding costs? In short, I was trying to add a 6th camera to a functional ecosystem of cameras but now I'm planning to return my new Nest camera and tell this story to anyone who asks. And I'll be looking at alternative offerings that offer basic functionality. I'll give it 2 stars as opposed to one as the hardware seems just fine, it's the software that has taken a bewildering step backwards.
