    Great doorbell camera. I switched from Eufy because i knew I was missing events that should have triggered a recording. I like that it can detect people, animals, vehicles. The only complaint with it is you cant delete individual recordings. You can only delete everything. I have google hubs and enabled speakers. I love that you can get notified on all devices.

    The Google wired door bell is a great product. The camera is very sharp and integrated seamlessly with Google Home and the Google Displays. The existing chimes do not work but it may be because the transformer is undersized.

      Hey there, RWP216. We’re glad that you find the Nest Doorbell (wired, 2nd gen) great. It’s unfortunate to hear of your experience with using the device along with your existing chimes. A traditional doorbell system uses very little power, but Nest Doorbell (wired, 2nd gen) has specific power requirements so the camera can continuously record video, so make sure that the transformer (power supply) meets the specific power requirements. It needs to be connected by wires delivering 16 - 24 V AC, and at least 10 VA (in North America) or 12 - 24 V AC and at least 8 VA (in Europe).

      If you find yourself in need of help around the features of the doorbell, you can reach out to our dedicated team using this link: 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.

    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

    Wife bought this for me for Christmas. A significant upgrade from the super cheap "smart doorbell" my new construction home came with. Integrates very well with the google home app. Does disconnect sometimes but that seems like a software issue.

    Disappointed in online ability to use that the first Google doorbell cam had. Only able to view and save videos from the app and only if subscribed to the ever-increasing fees. Maybe this will improve down the road.

    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!

    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.

    The only thing good about this doorbell is the installation is updated and easier than the Gen 1. This doorbell constantly disconnects from Wi-Fi. At least 3 times a day for me. Have even installed a Wi-Fi extender to no avail. Also forces you to use google home app, which is overly complicated. Would not recommend at all. stick with Gen 1
