I love my doorbells cam . Only thing for me would be that I also bought a google home device so I could hear my door bell in my home and not just on the phone. But would work well if you already have a door bell installed because it dose come with a chime for that .

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.

Clear Video & Smart Alerts, but Needs Wiring

I recently installed the Google Nest Doorbell (2nd Gen) and it’s been a game-changer for home security. It’s packed with features that are both practical and easy to use.
Good Points:
Crystal Clear Video: The video quality is excellent, even at night. The 3:4 aspect ratio is perfect for capturing visitors from head to toe, and the resolution is sharp enough to easily identify anyone at the door.
Smart Notifications: The Nest Doorbell sends smart alerts based on motion, and I can even filter out things like cars or pets. This is a huge improvement over other doorbell cams I’ve tried, as it cuts down on unnecessary notifications.
Area for Improvement:
Requires Hardwiring: Unlike some battery-powered models, this doorbell needs to be hardwired to your existing doorbell system. While not a dealbreaker, it’s something to keep in mind if you're looking for a more flexible installation option.
Overall, this is a fantastic doorbell for anyone wanting reliable video footage and smart home integration. Just be prepared for the installation process if you're not already set up for a wired doorbell.

I have installed this without any issue, I have always liked Google products and this doorbell is not the exception. The camera quality is great and has paired without any issue.

Nest Doorbell Exceeds Expectations!

The Google Nest Doorbell we purchased was easy to install (replaced a Ring Doorbell that Stopped working) and has performed beyond expectations. We love the frequent alerts we receive on our phones, and the integration with our Google Mesh system throughout our house. We also like the person identification feature that announces who is at our door, based on information we provided. Very helpful. Also, the videos cover a wide area and have good resolution. I would highly recommend this doorbell.

Upgrading from the original Google Hello to the new Nest Doorbell (Wired, 2nd Gen) has been a positive experience, primarily due to its seamless integration with the Google Home app. The video quality is noticeably improved with better HDR and a wider vertical view, making it easier to see visitors and packages. While installation was similar to the Hello, the move to managing the doorbell within the Google Home app is a major plus for those already in the Google ecosystem, offering unified control of all smart devices. The design is also sleeker. Overall, the Google Nest Doorbell (Wired, 2nd Gen) offers enhanced features and greater convenience for Google Home users, making it a worthwhile upgrade.

Google's reputation for producing reliable and user-friendly products is evident in this well-crafted doorbell. Its high sensitivity to movement, while sometimes leading to frequent notifications, ultimately offers a sense of security. The video camera provides clear and detailed footage of any activity, including package deliveries.

Such an easy item to install. Scan the QR code and you are on your way. Great product. Only issue is the Google interface. Nest’s app was far superior overall and much better with adjusting settings.

Bought this for my inlaws and to start off they have poor internet less then 5mbps their area doesn't have fiberoptics yet. So install was easy, design and construction is great. However picture quality and connectivity needs to improve. Doorbells with 1080p shouldn't be made anymore with 4k technology in existence. When trying to view the video feed it would keep disconnecting and not load. Also the picture isnt very clear for 1080p. Now we got the eufy 4k dual doorbell and that loads instantly and has amazing picture quality. For around the same price i'd go for the eufy since it has a second camera facing down at your porch.

Hi Nfvsa1, thanks for leaving feedback about the Nest Doorbell (wired, 2nd gen). We’re glad that you find it with ease of installation, and that you like its design. And we’re sorry to hear that the experience with its picture quality and connectivity has been less than ideal.
You can adjust the doorbell's video quality that may improve the 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 pick the maximum video quality for your doorbell. But whichever level you choose, your doorbell 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
Also, A range issue or wireless interference can cause your doorbell to disconnect from your Wi-Fi. Sometimes it may pass the connection test during setup, but will struggle to stay connected if it’s just a bit too far away. You may also check for objects such as mirrors and refrigerators between the doorbell and your router as these items could block the connection. For more help, read Troubleshooting wireless interference here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/9276282

Had the originally nest door bell and when it came time to replace i did my research and felt this would be a nice upgrade the picture is a lot more clear than the gen 1 and it was just as easy to install.

Great camera, easy install and quality is pretty good. However there is no real change between this one and the last gen wired camera. Quality looks the same so you might be fine getting the last gen camera to save money if you need.

It’s been very useful and easy to use through the Google Home app. The overall installation was easy but it also depends on your exiating electrical setup at home.
