    Order of magnitude improvement over first gen nest. Easy install and setup. Does NOT use legacy nest app, but rather the google home integration app. Major increase in resolution of camera and network speed.

    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.

    This was easy to install and connect to our existing doorbell chimes. The camera view is wide and clear, day or night. Microphone works well for two-way communication too.

    Not Nest App Compatible.

    Despite the Nest logo on the box, this doorbell is not Nest App compatible. Bit frustrated but understand Google likes doing things their way similar to the Fitbit fiasco. The doorbell works and has great image quality despite the incompatibility. If you use Google home or not in the Nest ecosystem, this doorbell is for you.

      Hello there, FernP. Thanks for leaving feedback about the Nest Doorbell (wired, 2nd gen). We understand that having the ability to manage and control the doorbell through the Nest app can be ideal for you. However, our priority is to make the Google Home app as the one place you can control all your favorite Nest and other smart home devices with the Google Assistant. Other benefits of using the Home app includes the following:
      - Automatic security protections such as Suspicious activity detection, 2-Step Verification and Security Checkup.
      - Your Google Nest devices and services will work together.
      - 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 need help with using the doorbell in the Home app effectively, let us know by visiting us anytime here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest

    Good job Google. This does the job well and only ask is make more ring themes year round. The ones you have for seasons are great but short-lived.

    I like the look of the new one but I prefer the older version. This camera captures more vertical frame rather than horizontal. Plus not having Nest compatibilty sucks. Google should add more Home screen customization to their Home app. On the old doorbell I could open the nest app and all of my cameras would load up. On the Google Home app I have to click the camera shortcut button or click the device.

    Don't get me wrong I like Google products, but got this hooked up and working and after a couple days started going off line. After a few hours would go back online. This is the only product that would go off line out of all my other security Cams. As of 7-21-23 it went off line and hasn't come back on line. Some of the reviews had the same problem.
