- Pros mentioned:Installation
Works as described
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Install was easy since I was replacing an Nest Hello. Quality is not as clear as the Nest Hello but not by much. The aspect ratio is better in my opinion is better as you get more vertical viewing than horizontal so you see more of the visitor at your door.

Easy to install
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It was easy to install. Does not work with smartthings. Like it says.
I would recommend this to a friend Awesome and easy to install and use!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Awesome!! The installation directions were very helpful and easy to follow. The phone app was also easy to setup and use. Excellent video and sound quality. GREAT product!!
I would recommend this to a friendBuying open box was a great deal!
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The phenomenal camera on the Gen 2 Nest wired doorbell not only provides a greater field of view from top to bottom but has also been very accurate with facial, motion, and package detection. I can now see more of the ground outside of my front door. Any deliveries placed right against the door are quickly detected by the package detection feature, sending me an alert and viewable on multiple platforms, from the Google Home app on my phone to any web browser after logging in at home.google.com, where I can see all of my Nest cameras on the same page. It was a great deal for me because I bought it as an open-box item and a fantastic upgrade to the original wired Nest doorbell despite the camera's lower resolution.
I would recommend this to a friend- Cons mentioned:Battery life
Much better option than the battery powered
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This unit is a far better option than the battery unit. It's smaller and it relies on wired power meaning if you live in a cool climate, you don't need to worry about battery drain. Wish I had gotten this one first!

Great with the google nest subscription!
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It was easy to install with the adapter I ordered directly from the google store. It plugged straight into the wall with it! It has been recording anything that moves in view. I just wish the web view had better filtering. Aside from that, it does its job well!

doorbell
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I am very pleased with the quality of not only the doorbell but also the sound and video that the doorbell produces. This is the 2nd one I'm purchasing to add to another door on our home
I would recommend this to a friend Great Doorbell Camera
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Not much to say other than, if you are a google person, this works will work perfectly in your ecosystem. I have had this for almost two years now and LOVE having it "Watch" my house for me. It even tells me when specific members of my family are home by name!

I would recommend this to a friend - Cons mentioned:Field of view
Ups and downs
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.There is alot of pros to this product. Free video recording, even when power is out, and on board storage instead of just relying on the cloud. Better housing design. Different colors to choose from to match your aesthetic/theme of house. But there is also big cons, the camera quality has gone down. Even though it is 1080P, google states it is better because of HDR processing. Looks good on paper, not a display. The veiwing angle has also gone down. So plan on purchasing a aftermarket wedge in order to get the best angle in most cases. I do like googles smart devices, but maybe the next one will be an actual upgrade. Ok for the price and features.

Posted .Hi AlexTheTech, thanks for the feedback and for pointing out some great features of the Nest Doorbell (wired, 2nd gen). But we’re sorry to learn that the video quality and the viewing angle are below your preferences.
The video quality settings lets you choose how much of your internet connection gets used by your Google Nest camera or doorbell to stream live video. The higher the quality setting is, the more bandwidth is used. When you pick a video quality setting, you’re picking the quality of the live video stream and the quality at which the video gets recorded and saved. You won’t be able to go back and watch your saved video at a higher video quality. Here’s how:
- Open the Home app Google Home app.
- Touch and hold your device's tile.
- At the top right, tap Settings .
- Choose Video.
- Under “Video quality,” choose Max or High.
We also appreciate that you consider getting a wedge to get the view you want. If you run into any situation where support is needed, you’ll find us ready to help you here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp

Great doorbell camera
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Have had this for almost a year, works great, even in the frigid winter months!
I would recommend this to a friend Better than monthly pay security service
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I searched in the internet and for home security because most of my neighbors has some sort of video cam door devices. And decided to go with gug nest. Of installation was reliable and quick. Of course you need a drill bit. But now days most of your friends has some kinds of drills to be borrowed. So after 20 minutes of installation. It only took another 15 minutes to link your nest doorbell to home wifi then link to your cellphone. And you can hear and gets notifications when someone is near the camera. Oh yeah you can speak and talk by using you cellphone Google link to nest. Now me and my wife are able to see what's happening @ home when both of us is @ work or not home.

Crystal clear
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this in October and I was able to use Halloween sounds when the bell was pressed. The video quality is amazing!
I would recommend this to a friend I wish I had Gen 1 back.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I replaced a Gen 1 Nest doorbell with a Gen 2 Nest. Google Home is now the only way to look at Gen 2 (Nest software only works on Gen 1) and it is disappointing. I think the Nest software was much better. Google can do better than this. First, I cannot capture the clouds moving by against a blue background (unless it is already captured as an event) or any other event I would like to capture (like tearing up a driveway and pouring a new one) other events that could make great videos for grand kids! Frequently, there is a huge delay where I don't see how the talking would be effective. The photo is not in landscape like it used to be. Google put your A team on this! I wish I had at least reviewed Ring this time.
