I bought this for a client who has been a repeat client. She was worried about security so I got this for her as a closing gift when she bought the home.

Don't get me wrong I like Google products, but got this hooked up and working and after a couple days started going off line. After a few hours would go back online. This is the only product that would go off line out of all my other security Cams. As of 7-21-23 it went off line and hasn't come back on line. Some of the reviews had the same problem.

I like the look of the new one but I prefer the older version. This camera captures more vertical frame rather than horizontal. Plus not having Nest compatibilty sucks. Google should add more Home screen customization to their Home app. On the old doorbell I could open the nest app and all of my cameras would load up. On the Google Home app I have to click the camera shortcut button or click the device.

Good job Google. This does the job well and only ask is make more ring themes year round. The ones you have for seasons are great but short-lived.

Solid device. Had the previous version before it was vandalized. I prefer this over the ring and the privacy expectations with Google are little better than Amazon.
