    Love this, the only downside is we did need an electrician to install this and it was expensive. But it has been invaluable so far.

    Don't get me wrong I like Google products, but got this hooked up and working and after a couple days started going off line. After a few hours would go back online. This is the only product that would go off line out of all my other security Cams. As of 7-21-23 it went off line and hasn't come back on line. Some of the reviews had the same problem.

    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.
