    This doorbell never fails. Gives amazing algorithm categories. It can show if a package is no longer in view, if a person, animal, wtc are in view. Great features

    Love the Google Nest Doorbell. So many options (color, facial recognition, scope, ring tone, phone alerts, ring tone, and many more).

      Hi there, Undertaker. Thank you for sharing your concern about your Nest Doorbell (wired, 2nd gen). We're sorry to hear that you're experiencing some challenges with making the device work with your existing chime.

    I like the look of the new one but I prefer the older version. This camera captures more vertical frame rather than horizontal. Plus not having Nest compatibilty sucks. Google should add more Home screen customization to their Home app. On the old doorbell I could open the nest app and all of my cameras would load up. On the Google Home app I have to click the camera shortcut button or click the device.

    Doorbell works great now that it is finally installed. Hopefully Bestbuy can increase service level so they can do the full hardwiring as it was a pain to find an electrician to do the job.

    Solid device. Had the previous version before it was vandalized. I prefer this over the ring and the privacy expectations with Google are little better than Amazon.

    Great doorbell cam and easy to install and use. I do wish the viewable angle was as wide as the 1st Gen, but overall it's still a great doorbell.
