    Surprisingly clear camera. It takes a little while to get your ‘zones’ set up in the app so you don’t get an alert for every car that drives down your road. I love being able to talk with people at the door when we’re not home.

    This product works exactly as intended. The video quality is fantastic and it works extremely well with all of the other Google devices in my home. I love the functionality of seeing my doorbell video stream from my Nest Hub Max.

    Installed using angle mount to hopefully avoid direct sun in the summer. Image quality is way better than my old nest doorbell. See if it can withstand the Arizona summer better too.

    Great doorbell. Matches the color of my house and doesn't look out of place like some other doorbells. I'm glad I went with the wired instead of the battery operated one. That thing is almost twice the size.

    After checking out several reviews and options available we chose the Google nest door bell (gen 2) and it is so far working great. As we already have a Google home setup it simply became part of it. The video cam is good in terms of recording, anudio and clarity of clips plus offers different chimes too for the bell. One can get the nest aware Subscription for more detail options but so far we are fine with the 3hrs free recording. It’s not too difficult to install as the instructions are quite clear while we followed a YouTube review also for the same for clarity.

    The google app is better than the ring app in features and ease of use. Being able to name the faces is really nice and when they ring the doorbell it tells you who is there.

    Great replacement for the first Nest Doorbell. Better picture, but only use the Google Home app. Nest app is becoming useless. Don't have to worry about buying a subscription with it.

      Hello there, Marcus. Thank you for choosing the Nest Doorbell (Wired, 2nd Gen). We're delighted to hear that it’s been a great replacement for your old Nest doorbell. We apologize for any dissatisfaction you experienced with the Google Home app.

      Our goal was to create the Google Home app as a centralized platform for controlling all your favorite Nest devices and other smart home devices using the Google Assistant. Here are some benefits you can enjoy by using the Google Home app with your Nest Doorbell (Wired, 2nd Gen):
      - Automatic security protections, such as Suspicious Activity Detection, 2-Step Verification, and Security Checkup.
      - Seamless integration of your Google Nest devices and services. For instance, if you have a Nest Cam and a Nest Hub, simply say, "Hey Google, show me the backyard camera," to cast the camera stream to your display without any additional setup.
      - One account to sign into both the Nest and Google Home apps.
      - Consistent alignment of your homes and home members across the Nest and Google Home apps.
      - If you're interested, you can also set up your Nest cameras within the Google Home app. You can find detailed instructions in this helpful article: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/9893532

    [Employee of bestbuy] The doorbell provides animated previews of doorbell events live to my watch. Rings throughout the house on Google devices. Better sound quality than the Ring it replaced.

    Quality picture and resolution compared to most, but I like more of a wider view. That's my reason for 4 stars. However, I do know that if the view was wider we'd lose some of that picture quality. Bitter sweet.

      Hi 3Crazy1s, we appreciate that you like the video quality and resolution of Nest Doorbell (Wired, 2nd Gen). We understand that a wider viewing angle would be nicer, however, Nest Doorbell (Wired, 2nd Gen) comes with a 145° diagonal field of view that should provide enough viewing angles to capture those important moments. And if you would like to get a better view of the scene on your door, you may want to try using the 20° wedge that comes in the box. If you need a detailed guide, we recommend checking out this link: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/12570869

      We value your feedback and we'll make sure to pass along this information that you provided us to the right team, since we're always on the lookout for ways to keep improving our products. If you need further help, or would like us to assist you with your Nest Doorbell (Wired, 2nd Gen), you're more than welcome to reach out to our support team via this help page: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest
