Very easy to install and looks great with good resolution

had one years ago - the new one has good video quality

I just switched to the Google Nest wired doorbell, and it’s a big upgrade from the old battery version I had. The image quality is way clearer—day and night—and the smaller design looks a lot cleaner by the door. It just feels like a solid improvement all around. Really glad I made the switch!

By itself the doorbell is an improvement to a first gen nest doorbell. The camera is clearer and zoom is improved. The picture quality is 2k as opposed to 1080p on the first generation, but the 3rd gen also gives you a very distinct fisheye effect that wasn’t there with the first generation. The new 3rd gen. also has a chime connector puck only requiring 2 wires compared to 1st generations 4, so the wiring is easier at the chime box. I consider the mount to the outside wall more difficult than the first generation, possibly requiring a slight location change or shimming from where the first gen. was mounted. Honestly I was quite happy with the original 1st generation Nest Hello, but Of course Google has decided to obsolete the original Nest app in favor of Google Home, which still seems a little clunky and not as polished as Nest was. Over time with few more updates the 3rd gen will probably become very well integrated with today’s smart home, but I would not reward Google by purchasing a 4th or 5th generation anytime soon, after all it’s just a doorbell with a camera. It doesn’t require a retina scanner or heart rate monitor. Polish the app and reprieve your customers from the planned obsolescence.

Great outdoor camera! The video quality is super clear, even at night, and the motion alerts are always accurate. Setup took just a few minutes and it’s been reliable in all weather. Definitely gives me peace of mind knowing my home is always monitored.

No outward changes from the previous generation, still has a great minimal style that blends cleanly into nearly any home's exterior. Much better looking than other video doorbells. Upgraded camera performance is nice, and Gemini integration is a big plus for Google Home Premium subscribers.

Great product! We bought this after having had a Ring doorbell. This Nest doorbell works great, has clear video and tells you a package is there and it tells you when the package is no longer there.

Much better with the upgraded doorbell. Better picture and faster.

This is a replacement Nest Door Bell. I enjoyed having The Nest installed when we moved to my current house. The old door bell gave up the ghost but the video was great and notifications when somebody was delivering a package was great.

The Gen 3 upgrade is worth it for anyone with a first- or second-gen wired doorbell-mainly for its 2K video, wider view, smarter Al alerts, and simple drop-in upgrade path. However, it demands a more expensive subscription for continuous recording, and users who preferred the legacy Nest app may find the transition to Google Home less flexible.

The camera works great. It was easy to substitute the previous one. We had the 1st gen of Google Nest Doorbell. The downside is that the Nest app does not support this new version, so we need to use two apps. One to manage our lock and thermostat, and another one, the Google Home app, to see the camera. Other than that, no complaints.

The 2k video quality is much nicer than previous versions. Also the more square aspect ratio gives me a wider angle which I needed for my use. Also love the Gemini text and ability yo ask questions about what happened!

Wish i upgraded sooner literally get notification of my neighbor at the end of their driveway Dont forget to trade in your old nest for 15% off

Bought this to replace my 1st gen nest doorbell. It uses the Google Home app now and it will take some time to get used to the new app. The video and sound quality is much better but the sun reflection seems worse.

This camera works great! Very high quality, easy to set up, and the Gemini early access is working great so far as well. If you have an older home, you very well need to upgrade your doorbell transformer though.

I had the original Nest Doorbell and it finally failed. I bought this one, and what a difference. The video is wider and crisper. You can really tell they put the best camera on this version. I would highly recommend.

Def is better than the other Gen, works with no issues.

Moved from 2nd gen and it has been quite an impressive jump. Better clarity in night mode and overall improved clarity. "Fish eye" lens takes some getting used to - so research that view prior to purchase if you do not like it - don't make the leap. But I like the expanded view.

Install is more complicated than I anticipated as it is necessary to install a component in the 'chime box'. That entailed bringing a ladder into the house. Nothing terrible, I just thought installation would be simply replacing the push button. Also, I wish you could rotate the camera view like you can on their Nest Cams to allow for a horizontal install.

Love the doorbell camera! Installed 3 of them around our cabin to keep an eye on who is coming and going. I have a older nest doorbell camera installed at our house and it still works great.
