    Video quality is great! I bought this to replace a first generation nest doorbell that stopped working after 5 years and the only downside is that the new google nest products do not work with the old nest app, which is not a big deal just some getting used to using the google home app

      Hi Jobbi, thanks for still choosing our Google Nest products, even after your older Nest Doorbell stopped working after 5 years. We're also glad to hear that you liked the video quality of Nest Doorbell (Wired). However, we're sorry to hear that the move to the Google Home app from the Nest app, didn't quite meet your expectations.

      We wanted to make the Google Home app as the one place where you can control all your favorite Nest devices and other smart home devices with the Google Assistant. Here are some benefits you can get by using the Google Home app with your Nest Cam (Indoor, Wired):
      - Automatic security protections such as Suspicious activity detection, 2-Step Verification and Security Checkup.
      - Your Google Nest devices and services will work together. For example, if you have a Nest Cam and a Nest Hub, just say, ""Hey Google, show me the backyard camera” to cast your camera stream to your display without any additional setup.
      - One account to sign into both the Nest and Google Home apps.
      - Your homes and home members will be aligned across the Nest and Google Home apps.
      - If you're willing, you may set up your Nest cameras to the Google Home app. Check out this help article: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/9893532

      We’d like to help you with any support needs you have on Nest Cam with Floodlight, and see how we can improve it. Please do not hesitate to contact our support team here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest

    This would have been easy to install if it weren't for our builders putting glue on the previous doorbell. Other than that, it's excellent! The picture is better than the previous generation. Also, it would be best if you put in the additional extender on the box for houses with stone.

    Normally this would receive a high rating. However, when buying a gen 2 doorbell, it can ONLY connect to Google Home, not the wonderful legacy Nest app. You really screwed this up Google. Now when replacing older Nest products, it can ONLY go on Google Home according to the Google tech support. Yup, that’s why this gets a pathetic 1 star rating.

    Best Doorbell is Glitchy

    This was my second try with this doorbell. I’ve had issues both times attempting to add it as a connected device within the google home app. This time, I could never get the camera to display. So, unfortunately, due to the glitchiness of this device, I’m unable to use it.

    Upgraded(?) gen1 to this gen2. The nest app is now useless and you must use google home. The notifications that are sent the phone does not give the correct preview of what actually triggered the notification. So when you recieve an alert, you have to actually open google home and play the video back. I’ll return if not corrected.

      Hey there, thanks for posting your review here. We're sorry to learn that you're experiencing some notification issues with your Nest Doorbell. This is not the initial impression we want you to have with the device. There are a few things that may trigger errors with notifications such as sudden changes in the light level or shadow moving across the frame. For example, if a cloud moves in front of the sun. If you're willing to give it another go, let us help you with finding the cause of the issue and provide you with troubleshooting steps that may improve your overall experience.

    Works well, would suggest the google hub as well. Just make sure you have a router that can support these devices. Otherwise they will randomly disconnect if you have to many devices on simultaneously.

    Ecosystem Trap Product

    Unlike the previous version, there's no Smart Device Management API access. That means you can't do anything with it outside of the Google ecosystem. You'll also suffer from limited features unless you purchase their cloud subscription. It's an ecosystem trap product.

    No support for nest app. So now I need 2 apps to see my cameras . Only Google could make a nest camera that doesn't work in their nest app. Their old cameras don't fully work in the Google home app and their new cameras don't work in the nest app

      Hi Redman, thanks for sharing your feedback on Nest Doorbell (wired, 2nd gen). We can imagine how having to use two different apps can be an inconvenience for you. We’re aware that longtime Nest users enjoy having the option to view the Nest camera feeds from the Nest app or web or web app. However, our priority is to create an integrated experience with other Nest and smart home devices. While the new Nest cameras and doorbells are exclusive to the Google Home app, users with previous versions of Nest cameras, like you, can view your camera feeds in the Google Home app alongside the new Nest Doorbell and Nest Cams.

      We request for your patience as we’re working on a seamless solution to create a better user experience. Meanwhile, we suggest having the latest version of the Google Home app that may improve camera playback controls to make it easier to play, pause, and navigate between events from the camera history view for cameras set up in the Google Home app. And if you need help with any concerns about the performance and functionality of the camera, You're always welcome to let us know here and we’ll gladly help you the best we can: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest
