      Hi there. Thanks for contacting us. To improve the speed of your Nest Doorbell Wired (2nd Generation) when speaking to someone, you can try adjusting your network settings by lowering the video quality, ensuring a strong Wi-Fi signal near the doorbell, checking for other devices using excessive bandwidth, and making sure your doorbell firmware is up-to-date.

      Hey there, AngelaN! We appreciate that you like the Nest Doorbell (wired, 2nd gen), and we hear your concern about the Night Vision.

      We suggest checking that lights don’t shine into the camera lens, as bright lights can delay or prevent the camera from switching to Night Vision. You can also try to reset Night Vision in the Home app. Go to your camera settings and turn Night Vision off, then turn it back on.

      You’re always welcome to contact us if you need further assistance, here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest

    upgraded to the wired doorbell after a pathetic experience with the battery version (no where close to the advertised battery life and I was having to charge it once every 2-3 days). Wired version comes with all required mounting hardware and is smaller than the battery version. The recording quality is also better. That's where the pros end. I have constantly gotten issues with the doorbell failing to connect to google home. Obviously wifi/connection is not an issue since the battery version had no issues streaming, I only returned it because it would not last longer than 2-3 days. The wired gen 2 will constantly show the device as "offline" even though it will give a notification that a person/vehicle/package was seen but will not let you access any of the footage. Bestbuy total tech will not help regarding this and google support isnt strong. I dont believe this is a hardware issue, its a well documented software/integration issue. Highly suggest going to a different brand until google home gets its stuff ironed out. Im very disappointed.
