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

    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!

    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

    Constant Disconnections

    This device is so inconsistent. A constantly cuts off and says that it doesn't have power. It also claims that it doesn't have access to Wi-Fi. The problem is, I have other outdoor cameras and devices hooked up to Wi-Fi that have no problem. I gave them the benefit of the doubt because I know that my internet originally was really terrible. But I recently changed over internet service providers to one that is much better and much faster and have had no issues with any of my other devices. This one still constantly disconnects and has problems capturing video. I plan on returning this as soon as humanly possible and replacing it with something more competent. Google has really dropped the ball on all of their devices with their inability to maintain their devices and terrible customer service.

      Hi there, Ashley. Sorry you’re having connectivity issues on your Nest Doorbell (wired, 2nd gen) — we understand how frustrating it may be. Here’s a few troubleshooting steps to get your device up and running:

      1. Check the wire voltage: An upgraded power transformer may be needed if voltage and power requirements are not met.
      2. Check your Wi-Fi network or router settings: Incompatible Wi-Fi settings can cause your camera or doorbell to disconnect or appear Offline in the app.
      3. Check the app version: Make sure you have the latest version of the Google Home app to get the latest features and bug fixes.

      Here’s a link with additional steps: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/9239727

    Was unaware of the voltage requirements so had to buy a more powerful transformer but even witg that installation was fairly straiforward. Instruction were a little confysing.
