This replaced a gen 1 model that had died out of warranty. The camera gets afternoon sun that had caused overheating issues with the previous model. I believe this model in all white will fare better. I had issues with video not archiving at first, but I replaced the old doorbell transformer (16v/10a) with a 16v/30a transformer. All issues went away and it works great now. The only issue is it doesn't automatically switch to night vision at night because of a few bright lights in front of the house, leaving a dark spot at the every way. The new home app is also a significant improvement after the loss of the Nest app.

Hey there, Mike. Thank you for choosing Nest Doorbell (wired, 2nd gen) and we're sorry to hear that you're experiencing some difficulties with the night vision of your device. When night vision is set to Auto, your device will switch between normal and night modes when the light gradually changes. We recommend setting your device's night vision to Always On. The night vision will stay on until you manually set it to Auto or Off, even if there's plenty of ambient light. You can follow the steps on the link here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/9249162

This mounts easily, connects quickly and works like a charm. The supplied angle wedge wasn’t enough for our setup, so we had to order an afternmarket wedge with a great (and customizable) angle. Beside that, setup and use has been flawless. Recommend this to anyone looking for a video doorbell!

I personally prefer the original version of the nest ring doorbell, but mine died after two years. Replaced it with this one and I’m not disappointed.

Got a great deal on this open box unit when my 1st gen stopped connecting to WiFi. The resolution is a bit of a downgrade on paper but barely noticeable. Definitely do not regret my purchase

Quality doorbell and security video

This is my 3rd Nest doorbell as I've purchased one for each of our last three homes. I believe the Nest doorbell is superior to their leading competitors. The Nest also aligns well with other Nest products such as thermostats, Co2 devices and more. Although I preferred the Nest app (that I used before Google purchased Nest) far more than the Google Home app, the Google Home app is getting better.
30 day video history monitoring is availible for $60/year which is better than many of the other home security devices on the market.

Easy to set up. The only downside is that the older generation had a wider viewing angle. This is moreso set up for portrait rather than landscape which limits how much of the front of your house is viewable.

Google has finally got it right. I owned the older version and it stopped working after 2 years. The new bell is easy to install and open while older version I struggled to detach. The camera has clarity. Easly syncs with other nest products.

This bell camera was easy to install and picture/video quality is good. Our doorbell now sounds weaker, which is disappointing. Also, the monthly fee is a drawback. Overall, it is as advertised.

The big white doorbell

It's a pretty big device, let's get that out of the way up front. If you don't have a lot of space to mount it, then you might have some issues. Google made the instructions extremely simple to understand and follow. The images and audio are both clear. You need to download the Google Home app, but it's easy enough. I certainly recommend it. My only issue is that there's a street light across the street and it's right in line with the camera, so it won't switch to night vision, I have to do it manually if I remember.

Hey there, Justin. Thanks for giving us feedback about the Nest Doorbell (wired, 2nd gen). We appreciate you for pointing out your concerns about its size, and we’re sorry to hear your experience with the Night vision feature.
Bright lights can delay or prevent the camera from switching to Night Vision. We suggest installing the wedge to angle your doorbell away from bright lights, or to install the doorbell in a shady spot. You should also make sure that any nearby surfaces or objects (like a wall) are out of view, since the doorbell’s infrared light can reflect off a surface near your camera.
