It works well. Let's us know when there's a delivery. You can also converse with and see people at your door even when you're not home.

Great product! Installation tool a little longer than expected. I never did find my doorbell transformer, but the installation was successful, so it must have been ok. Also, it took me a long time to identify my circuit breaker for the doorbell to shut off the power. Took 2 people and I had to test almost every breaker in the electrical panel. Getting notified every time someone delivers a package is very useful. The video quality is so high that I want to add more cameras for security. A couple of times we got notified of people seen at the front door in the middle of the night. It turned out they were deer!

Upgraded Convenience

Upgrading from the original Google Hello to the new Nest Doorbell (Wired, 2nd Gen) has been a positive experience, primarily due to its seamless integration with the Google Home app. The video quality is noticeably improved with better HDR and a wider vertical view, making it easier to see visitors and packages. While installation was similar to the Hello, the move to managing the doorbell within the Google Home app is a major plus for those already in the Google ecosystem, offering unified control of all smart devices. The design is also sleeker. Overall, the Google Nest Doorbell (Wired, 2nd Gen) offers enhanced features and greater convenience for Google Home users, making it a worthwhile upgrade.

Love this camera/doorbell. The fact it can recognize a person and package being delivered, amazing. We’ve always had Ring equipment but the lag between 1 min recordings cut out so if something happened we couldn’t see it. The Nest camera doesn’t do that. LOVE NEST! We will be replacing all our Ring equipment with Nest/Google equipment.

Such an easy item to install. Scan the QR code and you are on your way. Great product. Only issue is the Google interface. Nest’s app was far superior overall and much better with adjusting settings.

First off I like the finish on this compared to the original. I had the original nest doorbell for over 3 years and the plastic on it started peeling and the devices would shut off after the bell was rung. This one works nicely. No issues at all. Wish it had a battery in it so if power was lost for a moment it could still record. The finish on this one feels nice and may last the test of time but, we will see. Video is clear and pretty wide. I like that the view is a wider aspect in the vertical frame to see packages.

Hey there,TwotimesR. Thanks for sharing a review about the Nest Doorbell (wired, 2nd gen) and we’re glad you like its features. We hear your concern about having a backup battery, and the design. The Nest Doorbell (wired, 2nd gen) uses a paint with an enhanced UV resistance compared to the clear coating used on Nest Doorbell (wired). Also, the device won’t be able to record videos if a power outage occurs because the built-in battery can’t power the doorbell. We’ll share your feedback with the right team for future improvements. If you need help around the features and functionality of the Nets doorbell, feel free to contact us at the following link: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp

Hey there, RoidGutz. Thanks for your feedback on the Nest Camera (wired, 2nd Gen). We appreciate you recognizing the awesome camera quality of the Nest Camera (wired, 2nd Gen). However, we completely understand your disappointment regarding its compatibility with the Nest app. Google made a strategic decision to shift newer Nest devices, including the 2nd Gen cameras, to work primarily with the Google Home app. This allows for a more unified and streamlined smart home experience across Google products. We understand that switching apps can be inconvenient, and we apologize for any frustration this causes. If you have more questions and other concerns, we recommend reaching out to our dedicated team of specialists on the Google Help Center here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp

After reviewing the instructions and verifying a few items the install and setup went well. It easily setup in the Google home with the rest of our devices. The angle mounting block was a nice piece too since it was mounted in a corner area. Highly recommended.

I went with the google nest since it stores 3 hours of videos for free — no ongoing subscription needed. It gives me plenty of time to watch any activity I need and helps me keep an eye out for package deliveries. Setup was simple. Very happy with my choice.

Nest Doorbell Exceeds Expectations!

The Google Nest Doorbell we purchased was easy to install (replaced a Ring Doorbell that Stopped working) and has performed beyond expectations. We love the frequent alerts we receive on our phones, and the integration with our Google Mesh system throughout our house. We also like the person identification feature that announces who is at our door, based on information we provided. Very helpful. Also, the videos cover a wide area and have good resolution. I would highly recommend this doorbell.

Great buy! We were going to buy Ring but, after explaining the differences, we opted for Google Nest. We couldn't be happier. We are TotalTech members, so the install was covered (although, sadly, that is being changed by Best Buy). The Best Buy tech installed the doorbell, helped us with the app, and showed us how to use it. So far, so good. Simple and effective. (In retrospect, it would have been nice to have gotten one that was wired and had batteries - don't know if it was offered? - because our power went out during that tornado recently.)

I bought thinking I would not talk through this much, but it is very handy! Was able to catch a contractor I was late getting home to meet and let him know i would be there in 5 minutes. Perfect for deciding whether to get up and answer the door when working from home and further interrupting your day. Easy to install and setup with my Google home/nest ecosystem.
