    I love the look and minimalist feel of this. At the same time, very powerful, and reliable. You can set up zones, and teach it to remember familiar faces, and it will announce them via chat, text or email. Mine has lasted 8 years, camera is still working fine, doorbell is actually wearing out. So I went with what I know works well.

    Excellent camera, good upgrade of older version

    Great upgrade to the previous Nest doorbell camera. Only downside to this is if you upgrade to this (and I believe this is true of other new Nest cameras), you can no longer view it via the Nest app on your smart device. Now Google is forcing everyone to the “Google Home” app. It does work ok but I think I liked the older Nest app better.

      Hi there, JimO! Thanks for giving us feedback about the Nest Doorbell (wired, 2nd gen). We’re glad that you like it and we hear your concerns about its app integration.

      We’re aware that longtime Nest users like you enjoy viewing the camera videos using the Nest app or web app. However, our long term plan is to use the Google Home app as the one place you can control all of your favorite Nest and other smart home devices along with Google Assistant. In the near future, we’ll allow users to set up previous Nest devices and have full control in the Home app.

      Feedback like this helps us identify areas we can work on, and we’ll definitely share this with the right team for future improvements. And if there’s anything we can help you with, please don’t hesitate to let us know by visiting us here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest

    Great doorbell camera works during the day and at night without issue. And since it’s outside some people shouldn’t have to worry about Google spying on them since that seems to be a topic of concern for a lot of people. It’s also easy to setup.

    Works better than expected. Easy to install. Nice clear video and ability to zoom does not lose image quality. I prefer the north south viewing area as compared to competitors who focus on East/west view.

    We already have an existing nest ecosystem and decided to finally get a doorbell camera. We didn't want to do battery and deal with charging or battery drain issues with our cold winters. It has been in use for about a month and have had no issues. The installation was easy and highly recommend this camera.

    Great video quality, easy to set up, and works with existing chime. Took months to decide between this and ring, but it works so easy with phone and other Google displays. One app on my phone for doorbell, security camera, hue lights, thermostat and smart displays.

    This is a nice upgrade to the original Nest camera. Picture/videos are more clear. Notifications seem to be more accurate. I have the nest ecosystem so the camera synced easily! I would recommend this doorbell camera.

    So much better than Amazon Blink

    I had previously used Amazon Blink’s video doorbell and it kept disconnecting, It made the constant reconnecting tedious and frustrating. So I decided to replace it with this more expensive Google Nest doorbell. It is a HUGE improvement. Not only does it seamlessly connect to the Google home app, but it recognizes faces I’ve identified in my Google photos app and lets me know who is at the door with push notifications. Pretty epic if you’re into smart home tech. I bought the wired version because I didn’t want to mess with replacing batteries. Downside: This is significantly more expensive than Amazon’s Blink doorbell. Like 3x-4x more expensive. But I think it’s well worth the extra money for the freedom from hassle. Bonus: if you have a smart tv with Google OS, you can view your video feed right on your tv.

    The quality of the video is good but viewing angle could be more wider. Installation process was moderately easy. Instructions in the box was a link to a video of instructions. Overall its a good product to upgrade your home to “smart”

      Hi Justin, thanks for sharing your feedback on Nest Doorbell (wired, 2nd gen). We're glad that you find its video quality good, and we hear your concerns about having a wider viewing angle. We've taken note of your feedback and we'll certainly take this into consideration when working on new features with our products and services. Meanwhile, you might want to try using the wedge for a better camera view. You can install the wedge then position the baseplate plate over the wedge with the G positioned upright and use the wedge screws to secure it in place. Then attach the doorbell to the baseplate, align the circle at the bottom of the doorbell to the hole at the bottom of the baseplate, and push the doorbell in then down until you feel it click into place. Test the doorbell to make sure it is securely mounted. Please see this help article that includes video installation: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/10732535

      For other support concerns, please let us know anytime at the following link and we’d be happy to help: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp"; Nest

    We had the first version of the doorbell and loved it. It finally bit the dust and we needed to buy the new one. Been a great transition and the camera quality is phenomenal. Easy installation.
