    Not much to say other than, if you are a google person, this works will work perfectly in your ecosystem. I have had this for almost two years now and LOVE having it "Watch" my house for me. It even tells me when specific members of my family are home by name!

    This was installed to upgrade a Generation 1 doorbell camera. The videos are sharp, and the app quickly sends alerts when there is someone coming towards the door.

    The quality of the video is good but viewing angle could be more wider. Installation process was moderately easy. Instructions in the box was a link to a video of instructions. Overall its a good product to upgrade your home to “smart”

      Hi Justin, thanks for sharing your feedback on Nest Doorbell (wired, 2nd gen). We're glad that you find its video quality good, and we hear your concerns about having a wider viewing angle. We've taken note of your feedback and we'll certainly take this into consideration when working on new features with our products and services. Meanwhile, you might want to try using the wedge for a better camera view. You can install the wedge then position the baseplate plate over the wedge with the G positioned upright and use the wedge screws to secure it in place. Then attach the doorbell to the baseplate, align the circle at the bottom of the doorbell to the hole at the bottom of the baseplate, and push the doorbell in then down until you feel it click into place. Test the doorbell to make sure it is securely mounted. Please see this help article that includes video installation: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/10732535

      For other support concerns, please let us know anytime at the following link and we’d be happy to help: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp"; Nest

    We had the first version of the doorbell and loved it. It finally bit the dust and we needed to buy the new one. Been a great transition and the camera quality is phenomenal. Easy installation.

    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

    Bought this for my inlaws and to start off they have poor internet less then 5mbps their area doesn't have fiberoptics yet. So install was easy, design and construction is great. However picture quality and connectivity needs to improve. Doorbells with 1080p shouldn't be made anymore with 4k technology in existence. When trying to view the video feed it would keep disconnecting and not load. Also the picture isnt very clear for 1080p. Now we got the eufy 4k dual doorbell and that loads instantly and has amazing picture quality. For around the same price i'd go for the eufy since it has a second camera facing down at your porch.

      Hi Nfvsa1, thanks for leaving feedback about the Nest Doorbell (wired, 2nd gen). We’re glad that you find it with ease of installation, and that you like its design. And we’re sorry to hear that the experience with its picture quality and connectivity has been less than ideal.

      You can adjust the doorbell's video quality that may improve the resolution. The higher the video quality setting you choose, the sharper and more detailed your footage can be, but it also uses more of your internet bandwidth. This setting lets you pick the maximum video quality for your doorbell. But whichever level you choose, your doorbell will automatically adjust its resolution and compression according to how much bandwidth is available. Check this link to learn more: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/9218596

      Also, A range issue or wireless interference can cause your doorbell to disconnect from your Wi-Fi. Sometimes it may pass the connection test during setup, but will struggle to stay connected if it’s just a bit too far away. You may also check for objects such as mirrors and refrigerators between the doorbell and your router as these items could block the connection. For more help, read Troubleshooting wireless interference here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/9276282

      We’re always here for your support needs. Please feel free to let us know if additional help is required by visiting us at: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest

    Great picture quality and night vision. If you have a chime box that has enough power you may not need to install the chime adapter to your chime box. Works great.

    Great camera, easy install and quality is pretty good. However there is no real change between this one and the last gen wired camera. Quality looks the same so you might be fine getting the last gen camera to save money if you need.

    I bought this one to replace my old Nest Doorbell. This one has a much clearer picture. I don’t like that it only works with the Google Home app vs. the old Nest App. To me, the old Nest App was much easier to use and had more features.

      Hello Mike, thanks for the feedback and for upgrading to the Nest Doorbell (wired, 2nd gen). We appreciate you for sharing your experience pointing out some of its rich features, and we hear your concerns about using the camera in the Google Home app.

      We’re aware that longtime Nest users enjoy having the option to view their Nest camera feeds from the web, and we are working on adding this experience. However, our priority with this launch was building a complete experience for our new cameras and doorbell in the Google Home app. Meanwhile, We suggest having the latest version of the Google Home app that may improve camera playback controls to make it easier to play, pause, and navigate between events from the camera history view for cameras set up in the Google Home app.

      If you have any concerns about using the camera effectively in the Home app, let us know here and we’ll gladly help you the best we can: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest
