Overall good quality. Big improvement on aesthetics. Had the old one and while it looked nice and shiny new it quickly started cracking on what looks like plexiglass. Bought this newer one because the older one stopped working. My only problem with it is that they flipped the design on the base plate for the screw hole slots. I had to make new holes in the wall because they were different as far as the mounting holes go. The screw hole that has a horizontal slot for fine tuning vertical alignment has been switched around to the top i think it was. Other than that, i would recommend it either way.

I love my google products and this one is right there to but I do have just a couple of things that I feel are downgrades from it’s predecessor. I feel the wide camera view was much better before and the biggest issue I have is having to move from the nest app to google home. Home is fine but nowhere near the functionality of the nest app. I hope this decision is reversed or the google home camera functionality is modified to be more similar to nest.

So far so good we replaced a 3 year old Nest doorbell camera with this one with the hopes it lasts longer or we will go with another brand next time. So far the video and sound quality seems a lot better and it picks up a lot of activity.

This product sure came in handy.
Small and mighty!
Light turns on when action is detected and recording.
The only downside is 3 hour max video history.

Love this doorbell. Was the last thing I need to add to my new house to make it a smart house. Works great and I love getting the notifications about when my packages are delivered.

This item was recently installed on an older home from the 40s. The transformer (doorbell lines connect to) needed to be changed to 16vac/30va as there was not enough electrical current output causing the light on the doorbell to be yellow with no video access After, replacing, the light turned green. Everything works.

Hi there, Brown. We’re glad that you like the Nest Doorbell (wired, 2nd gen) along with its rich features. We hear your concern about having to pay for a subscription.
Nest has been long focused on delivering quality products to our customers, as well as giving value for the price, so we’ve included three hours of event history right out of the box for the first time ever. On-device processing also gives our customers smart alerts and Activity Zones, which historically have required a subscription. There's no fee to stream full resolution live video, receive notifications, and view video history for up to three hours in the past, as long as your doorbell is connected to the internet. However, you’ll need a Nest Aware subscription to receive advanced features. Learn more what you can get with the Nest Aware subscription here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/9233159

Install was pretty easy since I was updating from the Nest Hello doorbell. Also, the Nest doorbell has a better view of packages that get placed right underneath it.

The google nest doorbell is exactly what our home needed! We had a video doorbell that came with our security system but it wasn’t meeting all of our needs unfortunately. We turned to Google since we have our house integrated with Google compatible devices. The set up was very straightforward and the google app walks you through install with picture, videos, and written instructions. You can also call a pro if you need. This Camera was perfect for what we needed. Facial recognition, fast operating system, accessible through my app, push notifications, alerts and more. This may sound sponsored but I just believe in good products and honest reviews before I make important purchases. Hope this helps

The picture quality is awful, it’s stutters constantly and takes for ever to load the live video that the person who rang the bell is probably already gone. If you want to go back and watch the recorded video from just 30seconds ago or even 3 min ago it says video unavailable. And then once it is available, it still doesn’t load half the time. The Google Home app they make you use it with is garbage. The old Nest Hello doorbell is 100% better and uses the Nest app which is far superior. Don’t waste your money on this just get the older Nest Hello
