    This doorbell is great. The only annoyance is the zone setting. It has to be precise to where you it exactly. If you take the time to zero in the specific area, it is great!

    The only thing good about this doorbell is the installation is updated and easier than the Gen 1. This doorbell constantly disconnects from Wi-Fi. At least 3 times a day for me. Have even installed a Wi-Fi extender to no avail. Also forces you to use google home app, which is overly complicated. Would not recommend at all. stick with Gen 1

    The Google Nest Doorbell Wired is like having a bouncer for your front door, but with a sense of humor. It's sleek and stylish in ash, making your home the trendiest on the block. Plus, it alerts you every time your neighbor steals your Amazon packages. Thanks, Google!

    it's a pretty decent device, on rare occasion if someone rings the bell it will not alert my phone but I believe it's more of the fact I run a beta version of Google home which is superior to the regular Google home so I'll deal with it, other than that it's all good

      Hi there, Evilclown13! Thanks for choosing our Google Nest products. We appreciate that you're using the beta version of the Google Home app for your Nest Doorbell (Wired, 2nd Gen). We do apologize for any missed notifications on your mobile phone. Here are a few things you can try:
      - Home app settings are off by default. You can turn notifications on or off at any time by following the steps on this link: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/9244826
      - Check that your camera is powered on. Most Nest cameras need to be plugged into a power outlet to stream video and send notifications. If you have a battery-powered camera, make sure it’s charged.
      - Make sure that your camera is online in the app.
      - Make sure that notifications from your camera are turned on in the app.

      Furthermore, if you still experience the same issue, we recommend that you contact our support team for further help. We may need to isolate the issue further, and you may reach out to us via the Google Nest help page: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest

    We bought this for my brother and sister in law after buying the first generation Nest doorbell for our house. Still has the satisfying click when pressing the bell button compared to competitors doorbell camera’s. Great features and fixed the larger glass lens that tends to peal over time.

    Work great as expected like the previous ones i have bought. The video, however, on this one seems to be of lower quality. The faces of people are a bit pixelated even in high definition. Older models seem to have better quality.

      Hi there, Jeshua. Thanks for the feedback. We’re glad that your Nest Doorbell (wired, 2nd gen) works as expected, but we’re sorry to hear your experience with its video quality.

      If you haven’t yet, we suggest adjusting your cameras’ video quality to improve the video resolution. The higher the video quality setting you choose, the sharper and more detailed your footage can be, but it also uses more of your internet bandwidth. This setting lets you choose the maximum video quality for your cameras. And whichever level you pick, your camera will automatically adjust its resolution and compression according to how much bandwidth is available. Check this link to learn more: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/9218596

      You can contact us anytime at the following link if additional help is needed: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest

    This doorbell is really nice. It's replacing another video doorbell that was previously installed on my house. I wish the picture angle was a bit wider, but other than that, it's great to use. Install wasn't bad, even for a very new DIY-er like myself.
