Customer Ratings & Reviews

Easy to change over from first generation and it seems to be working. We do lose connectivity each time the power blinks.

This was a great addition to our surveillance system. Highly recommend adding it to anyone for personal and business use.

Easy replacement installation, it looks and works great!!

The quality of this doorbell is excellent and it was easy to install. I like the ability to create zones that it will identify packages, and/or people. It works well with our existing chime. It responds quickly when people push the doorbell. My only wish is that it had a little wider range of view

I really enjoy the new doorbell camera and it’s live feed that captures everything in real time.

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 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.

Very easy to install and it works great. Great camera quality.

The camera on this doorbell is great. the pictures it sends to my phone and tv are suberb

I like the new portrait vs. the old horizontal. It is better to see closer to the ground for packages.

Works well, has good video quality, good audio. Integrates perfectly well into the Google home app, easy to set up as well.

I had Gen 1. It was old and not working well so I upgraded. It’s a larger video in the app, better quality video, doesn’t cut out much if at all, looks are better than Gen 1 and also just used same wires. Very simple and well worth it upgrade if you’re thinking about it.

Best doorbell. Much sharper, clearer, and easier to setup than version 1. I’m glad I purchased it!

What a nice door bell/ camera combo. It is aesthetically sleek and modern looking. The picture on the camera is a great quality. The app is easy to use, I have notifications on so I can see when anyone is In front or on the front sides of my home. Highly recommend.

Great camara wish that it was wider viewing angle. The view needs to be wide angle to get more.

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.

Very easily to connect. Not sure how to set the volume of the doorbell.

Excellent video quality and i love the field of view of this camera. I see a lot at once and the voice function is a life saver. You can see and hear everthing and also lets you know when a package has been dropped off. Seemless with google home and easy to set up,

This is an upgrade from the original version. There many noticeable enhancements to the second gen. For instance the body is more flush and sleek looking than the two toned model. The camera can see extremely well, better than the original. What I also like is that the kit includes a wedge adapter so that if you have a doorbell that’s parallel to your door but facing the side, you can get an angle on the camera to face it out better (you can purchase separate wedges that offer more of an angle. The only thing that prevents me from giving this a slightly better rating is the Google Home app. It’s not that great. It can add your new doorbell easily and will guide you through the process but general day to day use, it’s not very intuitive. The old Nest app was way better.

I had previously used Amazon Blink’s video doorbell and it kept disconnecting, It made the constant reconnecting tedious and frustrating. So I decided to replace it with this more expensive Google Nest doorbell. It is a HUGE improvement. Not only does it seamlessly connect to the Google home app, but it recognizes faces I’ve identified in my Google photos app and lets me know who is at the door with push notifications. Pretty epic if you’re into smart home tech. I bought the wired version because I didn’t want to mess with replacing batteries. Downside: This is significantly more expensive than Amazon’s Blink doorbell. Like 3x-4x more expensive. But I think it’s well worth the extra money for the freedom from hassle. Bonus: if you have a smart tv with Google OS, you can view your video feed right on your tv.
