The wired version is much better than the battery one. It also interfaces better with after market doorbells

Super easy to install it took me a minute to figure out but thats just me i wat hed a youtube video on it and after that it was smooth sailing! No power tools were needed and setup was even easier hooked right up to my wifi and the video quality along with the audio quality is next to nothing out right now! Its amazing super crisp and clear with night vision that looks just as good as daytime veiw! Would 10 out of 10 recommend and have recommended!

The video on this doorbell camera compared to the old one nest doorbell is much brighter. The only downside to this is that the camera is not as wide as the old nest doorbell. Other than that it works just as good.

I really love this doorbell. I had a Ring for about 5 years and it was starting to flake out a bit, so i needed a replacement. I already have several Google products (Nest router, hub, etc), so it was an easy choice to go with this doorbell. I couldn't be happier. Quick and easy installation and seamless integration into my existing Google Home products. The night visibility is excellent and I really love the recognized faces feature. 10/10 would recommend!

Works great and functions well. Installation was a breeze and even easier if you had the prior generation's nest doorbell.

Love this doorbell. Google facial recognition is super nice to tell me who came to my door, as well as recognizing when a package is dropped off or removed from my porch. It struggles a bit early on with differentiating faces of people with similar hair, but after a while it catches on. Super convenient that it integrates with my Nest Hub and Google Home Mini's. Facial recognition pictures can be pixelated at night and in low lighting, but overall very satisfied

Love love love this device. I get alerts on my phone when someone is close to the door, regardless if they ring the bell or not. I can monitor package delivery and even answer the door remotely if im not at home

We are remodeling and purchased this to put in our entry area. It has not yet been installed but what we know from neighbors is that the wired version is extremely reliable.

The doorbell works great, video is great, love the product itself. the review would have been higher except that I did not receive all the things I was supposed to get. I did buy an open box one, but it said it was excellent and was supposed to have all original items and original box, etc. It was missing the allen wrench tool that is critical at the final step. It was also missing the wire plug adapter piece to help allow the doorbell to sit flush against the wall....so I had to put spacers in to allow for the rigged wire connections to have room. Now I have to figure out how to fill the gap left around the doorbell. So good product, but bad experience ordering an open box item that was supposed to same as new essentially.

Not the best design

I bought this doorbell Oct of 2023 .. at first I liked it but now it’s Jan of 2024 and it’s been a headache.. it was an easy install but every time my power goes out or I have to reset my WiFi the doorbell goes offline and I ave to unscrew it from the wall mount just to press the reset button, so it can reconnect… it’s annoying because I have to use the special Allen wrench, the notch is close to the wall where you can’t make a full turn so it’s a bunch of little turns to get the screw out to wiggle the doorbell out of place. Use something small to press the reset button, then put it all back together. I have the battery doorbell as well and I don’t have this problem, it’ll automatically connects when the Wi-Fi connects back.

Not a great "upgrade"

I upgraded from version 1 to this because the old one was starting to come apart. Google seems to have fixed that issue with the design of this one. So right of the bat, the look is better then version one I think.
I didn't really do a lot of research on the product before buying it though, I just thought it would be an "upgrade". Well I don't really love the change in camera view. The fish lens on the version one let me see my whole porch area. This really only shows the area in front of the door. It would be nice if you can change the view to a wide view. The camera is also kind of grainy, which was surprising to me. I set the settings to MAX for camera and all.
It also changed from the nest app to the google home app. Kind of annoying since I built a nest camera ecosystem. That's fine, but I just never really liked the google home app for my cameras.
I'd say this is a good buy if you are going to a doorbell camera from nothing, but changing from version one, you might not be happy with the updates.

Hi there speakandTv, thanks for the feedback, and for trying out the new Nest Doorbell (wire, 2nd gen). We’re sorry to hear it didn't meet your expectations
Unlike some other video doorbells, Nest Doorbell (battery) has a 145° diagonal field of view at 3:4 aspect ratio. It means you can see people from head to toe, and packages left on the ground. Also, we’re aware that longtime Nest users enjoy viewing the camera videos using the Nest app or web app. However, the new Nest cameras and doorbell are exclusive to the Home app because we wanted to create an integrated experience with your speakers and displays. A Nest Aware subscription applies to all of your cameras, speakers, and displays in the same home structure. And you can view both your old and new Nest Cams together in the Home app.
If you come across any challenges with using the doorbell in the Home app effectively, let us know here and we’ll do our best to help: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp

2nd gen no longer works with the Nest app. Only through Google Home. Disappointed in that.

Hey there, Jake. Thanks for sharing your feedback on the Nest Doorbell (wired, 2nd gen). We hear your concern about using the Google Home app. We’re aware 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.
