Customer Ratings & Reviews

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!

So much better than the 1st gen one. Could not be more satisfied with all features. Understand, you WILL NEED a 12v supply for it to connect nad work properly. An easy upgrade and fix.

it's a pretty decent device, on rare occasion if someone rings the bell it will not alert my phone but I believe it's more of the fact I run a beta version of Google home which is superior to the regular Google home so I'll deal with it, other than that it's all good

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

Smaller that the battery version and longer recording.

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.

the doorbell works pretty well, but does not work well with their other products. i wanted this product to work well with their other security ones but it didnt work seamlessly.

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.

Best Buy is the best anything you need Best Buy got it

Works great!! It takes a little while to charge but once it's chaffed it lasts forever

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.

I currently have an inexpensive doorbell camera that gets the job done but doesn’t have a whole lot of advanced features, so the Google Nest Doorbell definitely piqued my interest and I gave it a test drive. I’ll give my overall impressions first and then break it down a little more afterward for those that are interested. Overall Impressions: The Google Nest 2nd Gen Wired Doorbell does just about everything right. With its incredible wide lens that lets you capture packages that are right up against your door, easy configuration and operation via Google Home, and even the installation process itself, Google just seems to get everything right with this product. The omission of a plug-in chime seems odd at first, but the way that the Nest doorbell integrates into your phone and your voice assistants, like Google Home, it won’t be a concern for long and free up an outlet to use for something else. Some very specific features like longer recording retention still remain behind a monthly subscription fee and the lack of an option for an SD card to locally record is disappointing, but those are features that most won’t use or need. There’s not much to nitpick here and that’s what makes the Google Nest 2nd Gen Wired Doorbell one of the better doorbell cams on the market. Installation: You’ll get everything you need to install the Nest doorbell in the box. The installation is super simple if you’re replacing an existing doorbell, especially if it was already a smart doorbell. If not please follow the directions on how to redirect power from your old chime to the doorbell for power. Everything is lined up and straightforward forward and there are plenty of videos on the web that will guide you through in detail if you need extra help. You won’t need much more than a screwdriver for most installations unless you’re drilling into brick or harder siding. Operation: The Google Home app will be the center of your Nest Doorbell experience. You’ll receive alerts and notifications of people at the door through the app. It seemed to work great on my iPhone and I had no issues getting notifications when someone was at the door. One of the coolest features was the ability to reply with a pre-recorded message to people that were at the door. Being able to actually talk to the person at the door in real-time is also useful, but I don’t see myself using that function all that often. Reviewing events is easy as well on the app as is setting your detection zones and other individual camera functions. Functionality and Features: All your standard security camera features are included with the Nest doorbell, with only continuous recording and longer recording retention really being kept behind a subscription paywall. Night vision, detection zones, and all levels of alerting will be accessible without paying anything extra, which is awesome to see as some lower-priced cameras will keep a lot of these features behind a subscription in order to recoup some of their costs. Camera clarity was fantastic, even with its advertised 960p which is lower than some other cameras that advertise 1080p and even 2k and 4k resolutions. I saw no discernible difference from the 1080p camera that it replaced and actually thought the quality, color, and motion were much better than my previous 1080p model. I believe most people will be totally happy with the Nest Doorbell and it exceeded all my expectations, even surprising me at some points with its ease of use and ability to function great even without an add-on chime. This doorbell will suit just about anyone looking for a doorbell camera and especially those already integrated into a Google/Nest system in their home.

Upgraded my 1st gen wired doorbell with this new device. I really like the accuracy of the alerts.

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.

Very useful in my home’s security The package and product was intact and would highly recommend.

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

it's working good , just doesnt have the NEST Cool Features i hope they add announce visitor

The best thing about thos door bell is how ot detects packages. It also determines animals vs people. Great item to have. The talk back feature seems to not work so much but maybe its my internet since im in a bery rural area.

The instructions on line were ok but not great. it would be nice if the app was not buggy and worked without an issue. had to install multiple times

Easy to setup. No doorbell alert via app though. May not be smart enough but i could not find anything. No 2 way interaction
