    the product is amazing! Installation not so much. Killed my doorbell so I had to buy a new one. It hasn't been the same since. Told me it was bc my doorbell was old, it worked perfectly before he installed it, but now not at all.

    Ever since Google tried to remove Nest from the picture, their products for the home are just terrible. Nothing works as well as the old Nest, or even the old DROPCAM that they forced me to remove and no longer would function. The 2nd gen will not connect very well to the rest of the network. You can no longer use the nest app for any new Google/Nest devices, and it keeps seeing "people" when there is no one. Never had a problem with old one before it died. I hope Apple gets into the game and starts making their own cameras, locks, and thermostats. This one I've had for a week and infuriated by it. Steer clear of the Google/Nest eco-system.

    Wasn’t going to be easy to get power to the location I needed so this works for me. Does a good job. Battery lasts several weeks easily as long as you are only checking it for people and not every movement detected.

    I love the google doorbell its way better than the skybell I had. The notifications are not annoying and it works with My other smart home devices easily. Easy to install , Id recommend checking your transmitter to make sure it doesn't need to be upgraded before installing the ringer blew but it was an easy fix. The only negative is that once you update even just your wifi password I had to factory reset my bell and start all over. Losing my history but I was able to save the videos I wanted to keep to my phone.No way to just update the password to connect

    I owned the 1st Gen version of this and it was great. When I bought a new house, I decided to install this again. Wow the Gen 2 version was even better. Love the face recognition and animal alert. Definitely recommend

    Upgraded my old Nest doorbell because it started to crack in the front from sun damage. Hoping this one holds up better than the last one.
