Great wide camera view. If you have nest system it won’t show up on the nest app. Google home only.

upgraded to the wired doorbell after a pathetic experience with the battery version (no where close to the advertised battery life and I was having to charge it once every 2-3 days).
Wired version comes with all required mounting hardware and is smaller than the battery version. The recording quality is also better. That's where the pros end.
I have constantly gotten issues with the doorbell failing to connect to google home. Obviously wifi/connection is not an issue since the battery version had no issues streaming, I only returned it because it would not last longer than 2-3 days. The wired gen 2 will constantly show the device as "offline" even though it will give a notification that a person/vehicle/package was seen but will not let you access any of the footage.
Bestbuy total tech will not help regarding this and google support isnt strong. I dont believe this is a hardware issue, its a well documented software/integration issue. Highly suggest going to a different brand until google home gets its stuff ironed out. Im very disappointed.

Hey there, Brteyes! Thanks for the feedback you shared about the Nest Doorbell (wired, 2nd gen). We hear your concern, and we understand that longtime Nest users enjoy viewing their Nest camera feeds from the Nest 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, as well as Google Assistant. In the near future, we’ll allow users to set up previous Nest devices and have full control in the Home app. Users with older cameras can view camera feeds in the Google Home app alongside the new Nest Doorbell and Nest Cams. Our team is working on bringing full functionality to the Google Home app so all of your cameras can be set up and controlled in one place.

Event detection is just okay. Connecting to the device to speak to someone is slow.

Hi there. Thanks for contacting us. To improve the speed of your Nest Doorbell Wired (2nd Generation) when speaking to someone, you can try adjusting your network settings by lowering the video quality, ensuring a strong Wi-Fi signal near the doorbell, checking for other devices using excessive bandwidth, and making sure your doorbell firmware is up-to-date. To get more information, you can check the following link: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/9245832
