    Great quality and enhancement to my house. The instructions are spot on and it had the accessories I needed. I really like the notifications and being able to see the deliveries and packages sitting at the door.

    We already have an existing nest ecosystem and decided to finally get a doorbell camera. We didn't want to do battery and deal with charging or battery drain issues with our cold winters. It has been in use for about a month and have had no issues. The installation was easy and highly recommend this camera.

    Compared to the Original Nest Hello Doorbell, this one lacks the wide angle lens which is very desirable for a lot of folks that have a wider porch area. With many blind spots, you can easily be missed by the camera. The speaker is also too quiet due to cheaper parts. It can make it difficult for the person to hear what you are saying depending on the background noise. The pros of the camera would definitely be the night vision. It’s pretty clear at night. For the price since it is cheaper than the original, it’s a very average doorbell. Sad for a Google product as they should be making a better product by taking on a brands original purpose.

    One of the best doorbell cam on market but only draw back is it only saves video footage of incidence for 3 hours. If somthing happens middel of night once u wake up footage will be gone so dumb. Once in while it will stop recording audio too.

      Hi there, Kush. It pleases us to hear that you're finding Nest Doorbell (Wired, 2nd Gen) as one of the best doorbells in the market. Keep in mind that your doorbell can only save up to 3 hours of video recording before it expires and is deleted. This recording limitation can be extended when you get an active Nest Aware subscription that includes 30 days of Video History, 24/7 continuous recording, access to clips, time lapses and even customizing your own activity zones. You won't ever have to worry about missing any events as these videos and clips are all saved onto the Cloud. All these features can be viewed and controlled at the tip of your fingertips using the Google Home App. You can learn more about what you get with the Nest Aware subscription here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/9233159

      For any other questions about your Nest doorbell or Nest Aware subscription, you're more than welcome to speak to our support team here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest

    Work great as expected like the previous ones i have bought. The video, however, on this one seems to be of lower quality. The faces of people are a bit pixelated even in high definition. Older models seem to have better quality.

      Hi there, Jeshua. Thanks for the feedback. We’re glad that your Nest Doorbell (wired, 2nd gen) works as expected, but we’re sorry to hear your experience with its video quality.

      If you haven’t yet, we suggest adjusting your cameras’ video quality to improve the video resolution. The higher the video quality setting you choose, the sharper and more detailed your footage can be, but it also uses more of your internet bandwidth. This setting lets you choose the maximum video quality for your cameras. And whichever level you pick, your camera will automatically adjust its resolution and compression according to how much bandwidth is available. Check this link to learn more: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/9218596

      You can contact us anytime at the following link if additional help is needed: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest

    Great video quality, easy to set up, and works with existing chime. Took months to decide between this and ring, but it works so easy with phone and other Google displays. One app on my phone for doorbell, security camera, hue lights, thermostat and smart displays.

    Great picture quality and night vision. If you have a chime box that has enough power you may not need to install the chime adapter to your chime box. Works great.

    This product is an asset and I will get good use out of it. The prices on Amazon are highly competitive, I would rather look and study what I’m buying. Still I believe Best Buy should do match pricing

    This doorbell is really nice. It's replacing another video doorbell that was previously installed on my house. I wish the picture angle was a bit wider, but other than that, it's great to use. Install wasn't bad, even for a very new DIY-er like myself.
