    This doorbell is great. The only annoyance is the zone setting. It has to be precise to where you it exactly. If you take the time to zero in the specific area, it is great!

    So much better than the 1st gen one. Could not be more satisfied with all features. Understand, you WILL NEED a 12v supply for it to connect nad work properly. An easy upgrade and fix.

    This is a great doorbell camera. I owned one at my previous house and when we moved, I got another. My only complaint with this newer model is that it does not always automatically switch to night vision mode at dusk. Not a huge issue, but kind of annoying at times.

      Hello there, Chris. Thanks for the feedback, and we’re glad that you like the Nest Doorbell (wired, 2nd gen). We’re sorry to hear that your experience with the Night Vision is less than ideal. Bright lights can delay or prevent the camera from switching to Night Vision. We suggest installing the wedge to angle your doorbell away from bright lights, or to install the doorbell in a shady spot. You should also make sure that any nearby surfaces or objects (like a wall) are out of view, since the doorbell’s infrared light can reflect off a surface.

      We can also help you check for other reasons why the doorbell feature behaves differently. Visit us anytime at the following link if additional support is needed: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest

    We love anything Google but this doorbell is the bomb-dity! Was worried about it working off of battery only but haven't had any issues with it. We have it on a second home and were concerned that it would need to be charged while we were not there. When we are there, we throw it on the charger for a little while and all is well with the world.

    We bought this for my brother and sister in law after buying the first generation Nest doorbell for our house. Still has the satisfying click when pressing the bell button compared to competitors doorbell camera’s. Great features and fixed the larger glass lens that tends to peal over time.

    it's a pretty decent device, on rare occasion if someone rings the bell it will not alert my phone but I believe it's more of the fact I run a beta version of Google home which is superior to the regular Google home so I'll deal with it, other than that it's all good

      Hi there, Evilclown13! Thanks for choosing our Google Nest products. We appreciate that you're using the beta version of the Google Home app for your Nest Doorbell (Wired, 2nd Gen). We do apologize for any missed notifications on your mobile phone. Here are a few things you can try:
      - Home app settings are off by default. You can turn notifications on or off at any time by following the steps on this link: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/9244826
      - Check that your camera is powered on. Most Nest cameras need to be plugged into a power outlet to stream video and send notifications. If you have a battery-powered camera, make sure it’s charged.
      - Make sure that your camera is online in the app.
      - Make sure that notifications from your camera are turned on in the app.

      Furthermore, if you still experience the same issue, we recommend that you contact our support team for further help. We may need to isolate the issue further, and you may reach out to us via the Google Nest help page: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest
