    Easy to set up. The only downside is that the older generation had a wider viewing angle. This is moreso set up for portrait rather than landscape which limits how much of the front of your house is viewable.

    This bell camera was easy to install and picture/video quality is good. Our doorbell now sounds weaker, which is disappointing. Also, the monthly fee is a drawback. Overall, it is as advertised.

      Hi there, Syfof. We appreciate your feedback on the Nest Doorbell (wired, 2nd gen), and we’re sorry to hear about your experience with its connectivity.

      Checking for objects such as mirrors and refrigerators between the cameras and your router can help, as these items could block the connection. If you have a good Wi-Fi connection but the doorbell is offline, this can happen if the device gets too hot or too cold, and can be avoided by these:
      - Your doorbell should not be exposed to direct sunlight
      - Avoid placing your doorbell near objects that can cause overheating.
      - The device needs good air circulation, and don’t install it in any kind of small box or enclosure as this can cause overheating.

      For more help, you can contact our dedicated team directly through our support channels here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest

    I bought this product because I needed and upgrade to the old nest doorbell. I love the picture quality the 2nd gen doorbell comes with. The voice recognition feature is outstanding.

    Google has finally got it right. I owned the older version and it stopped working after 2 years. The new bell is easy to install and open while older version I struggled to detach. The camera has clarity. Easly syncs with other nest products.

      Hi there, JameianL. We appreciate you for upgrading to the new Nest Doorbell (Wired, 2nd Gen). We're sorry to hear that the video quality and night vision features didn't meet your expectations.

      The video quality for the Night Vision feature on your Nest doorbell may be affected by internet speed. We recommend removing some of your connected devices to free up some bandwidth for your network. Once you verify there is congestion, then you may need to contact your Internet service provider for resolution,

      Additionally, here are some helpful steps you can try out to improve the Night Vision feature:
      - Clean the lens with a soft cloth that’s made for cleaning optics. Dust, thumbprints and dirt can cause poor image quality.
      - Turn your camera so that any nearby surfaces or objects (like a wall) are out of view.
      - Use the Google Home app to zoom and enhance and crop out surfaces or objects that may be causing glare.
      - If you see a bright white shape along the edge while everything else is too dark, there might be a surface that’s too close in your camera’s view (like a wall). Angle your camera so the surface stays out of view.
      - Move nearby objects that may be reflecting the infrared light.
      - Change the Activity Zones on your camera. You can delete your existing Activity Zone and create a new one in any area within your camera's field of view. Just make sure that none of the zones you create overlap.

      If none of the steps we provided prove to be helpful, you can always contact our support team for further assistance here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest

    Quality doorbell and security video

    This is my 3rd Nest doorbell as I've purchased one for each of our last three homes. I believe the Nest doorbell is superior to their leading competitors. The Nest also aligns well with other Nest products such as thermostats, Co2 devices and more. Although I preferred the Nest app (that I used before Google purchased Nest) far more than the Google Home app, the Google Home app is getting better. 30 day video history monitoring is availible for $60/year which is better than many of the other home security devices on the market.

    Almost as good as the first gen Nest Hello

    I purchased this to replace my first generation Nest Hello doorbell, which finally failed after 5 years of use. The new doorbell looks great, however the video resolution is lower, and the video is portrait rather than the previous model being more landscape, so when i use my Nest displays to view the cameras the video is small with black bars on either side.
