    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.

    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!

    The Google wired door bell is a great product. The camera is very sharp and integrated seamlessly with Google Home and the Google Displays. The existing chimes do not work but it may be because the transformer is undersized.

      Hey there, RWP216. We’re glad that you find the Nest Doorbell (wired, 2nd gen) great. It’s unfortunate to hear of your experience with using the device along with your existing chimes. A traditional doorbell system uses very little power, but Nest Doorbell (wired, 2nd gen) has specific power requirements so the camera can continuously record video, so make sure that the transformer (power supply) meets the specific power requirements. It needs to be connected by wires delivering 16 - 24 V AC, and at least 10 VA (in North America) or 12 - 24 V AC and at least 8 VA (in Europe).

      If you find yourself in need of help around the features of the doorbell, you can reach out to our dedicated team using this link: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest

    Ups and downs

    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.

      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 Nest

    Wife bought this for me for Christmas. A significant upgrade from the super cheap "smart doorbell" my new construction home came with. Integrates very well with the google home app. Does disconnect sometimes but that seems like a software issue.

    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!
