Google Nest wired door bell has worked flawlessly for 6 months. I did not purchase extra storage so it only captures imagines for limited time - but you could purchase additional storage with subscription. Very easy to use and alerts when packages arrive.

There is alot of pros to this product. Free video recording, even when power is out, and on board storage instead of just relying on the cloud. Better housing design. Different colors to choose from to match your aesthetic/theme of house. But there is also big cons, the camera quality has gone down. Even though it is 1080P, google states it is better because of HDR processing. Looks good on paper, not a display. The veiwing angle has also gone down. So plan on purchasing a aftermarket wedge in order to get the best angle in most cases. I do like googles smart devices, but maybe the next one will be an actual upgrade. Ok for the price and features.

Hi AlexTheTech, thanks for the feedback and for pointing out some great features of the Nest Doorbell (wired, 2nd gen). But we’re sorry to learn that the video quality and the viewing angle are below your preferences.
The video quality settings lets you choose how much of your internet connection gets used by your Google Nest camera or doorbell to stream live video. The higher the quality setting is, the more bandwidth is used. When you pick a video quality setting, you’re picking the quality of the live video stream and the quality at which the video gets recorded and saved. You won’t be able to go back and watch your saved video at a higher video quality. Here’s how: - Open the Home app Google Home app. - Touch and hold your device's tile. - At the top right, tap Settings . - Choose Video. - Under “Video quality,” choose Max or High.
We also appreciate that you consider getting a wedge to get the view you want. If you run into any situation where support is needed, you’ll find us ready to help you here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp

Much better option than the battery powered

This unit is a far better option than the battery unit. It's smaller and it relies on wired power meaning if you live in a cool climate, you don't need to worry about battery drain. Wish I had gotten this one first!

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.

Awesome love it. Only thing I'd change is I'd make it a wider angle. I used to have a ring and that was a very nice wide angle. This is very vertical which isn't terrible but I'd prefer wide.

Very easy, comes eith everything you need UNLESS you have mortar or cement, you will need masonary bits. Also, ensure you have an updated transformer if you intend to make an older style plunger style doorbell.

We had a Ring doorbell and it was time to upgrade. This door looks better. The color options are better. The install was easy, but a bit confusing integrating with our doorbell system.
