    Didn’t take long to set up. Screws are small and we dropped one into the wall but it still holds on tight the eay we modified it. Rings the existing door bell.

    Had to put some eyes on the front of the house, no complaints. Installed it myself. I am no DIY champ, the instructions and online support was very helpful.

    I had the 1st generation model for about 3 year, until i imagine it got burned out by the sun. Purchased this upgrade and love all the new features and easy setup.

    It was really easy to install especially since they provide a step by step instruction video for self install. It connected to the rest of my smart home with no issues as well.

    Very disappointed in the gen 2 product. A step down in nearly every single way from the first wired doorbell, particularly build quality. My first gen Nest doorbell lasted approximately 5 years which is awesome. I purchased this one December 1st , 2023 and it was dead 1/14/24. Really disappointing, and made worse poor technical support from google. Basically jerk you around and waste hours of time doing stupid things. I genuinely think their goal is to break you down so you give up. Ontop of that you will be forced to use the google home app (this camera is not compatible with NEST). For those who have used both apps, the difference is night and day. Google home is a mess (no integration with most nest products , extremely limited functionality). I guess the only good thing I can say about this camera is it is cheaper than gen 1, and the video quality is pretty good... because of the horrific hardware and software issues avoid this camera

    The camera is great but the thing does not work with our chime. I ordered the suggested chime but I am not going to drill a bunch of holes so I will find an alternative.

      Hi there, RixB. We appreciate that you find the Nest Doorbell (wired, 2nd gen) great. We’re sorry to learn it didn’t work with your chime, and that you ran into this concern with the installation after getting the suggested chime. The Nest Doorbell (wired, 2nd gen) has a voltage requirement of 16 to 24 VAC and a power requirement of 10 to 40 VA. You can usually find the system transformer’s voltage information inside the doorbell’s chime box, as well as in or near the breaker or fuse box. If you still have to call someone for help with installation, we suggest reaching out to your retailer. Or you may contact a Nest Pro certified tech to help you with your installation needs.

    If mid was in the dictionary there would be a picture of this doorbell. Somehow I think it’s worse than the original nest hello I replaced which is sad. It disconnects a lot which is very annoying. I’m not sure if it’s the new software or what it’s just not as reliable. Highly annoyed I bought it as a supposed upgrade.
