    Great upgrade from the 1st and 2nd generation Nest doorbell camera. Just remember that it does need a more powerful doorbell transformer and you might need to get a newer bell if it can't handle the new transformer's output.

    Nest Doorbell Gen 3 vs Gen 2: Sharper Video, Smart

    |

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    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.

    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.

    This is a much needed upgrade by Google. 2k and a wider angle view. They still need to work on nighttime quality.

    Effective & Easy Install

    Replaced a broken Nest gen 1 doorbell. The install was very easy. The only drawback is gen 3 doorbells are not able to be connected to the Nest app and must be on Google home, which is currently not as streamlined of an app. The fishbowl view takes getting used to but is fine and clear.

    Works great, but harder install than I anticipated

    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.

    The camera is great. Been a nest camera user for over 10 years. The app has been subpar at best since the swap to google home.

    I upgraded from the Nest Doorbell Wired 2nd Gen. The hardest part is turning off the transformer to do the wiring. It's a 5 minute swap. If I had to suggest an improvement I wish the speaker was louder. I don't think it gets any louder than the last model.

    Way way better than the gen 2 which was a complete rip off. Even the gen 1 was better than the gen 2. I think the gen 2 was just a money grab tbh to fund for the gen 3. I can honestly say this is the best one they've came out with.

    This was easy to install and easy to set up with google home app. I was replacing a much older google nest camera that had seen a little too much of the Florida rain and weather!
