    I purchased the latest Google nest doorbell, and installed it with ease since I had a previous generation. The upgrade was certainly well worth it. I now get artificial intelligence reports on activities, my house, and I’m very pleased with the upgrade. We’re not hesitate for someone else to do the same.

    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 upgrade from the 2nd gen Nest Doorbell! The increased field of view allows me to see my whole front covered porch vs just in front of the door. The packages left in the nearest corner are also now in view. Time will tell if this withstands the Arizona Summer heat, but so far I am happy with the upgrade!

    Good Doorbell Camera

    Really good camera. The install for replacing a Gen 1 was not super easy. We had to get a new transformer that could handle this one. Between that and not being able to lock it into place before putting the anchor screw in, we had to get an electrician friend to help. I was able to install two prior Gen 1’s myself. The google home app is improving, but still not as great as the original Nest app.

    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.

      Hey there, partman1969. While we’re happy you’re enjoying the upgraded video quality of the Nest Doorbell (Wired, 3rd Gen), we hear your concerns regarding the transition to the Google Home app. With the Google Home app you’re able to connect with a wide variety of speakers, cameras, thermostats, lights, and a range of other products, all from one place.

    I replaced my last doorbell(older version) with the latest model. I am happy with my purchase. The quality and sound are great. My doorbell is on the side wall with a tilt towards the front. It picks up motion with a view much better.

    3rd gen Nest doorbell is definitely an update over 2nd gen. Better resolution and AI enhancements. Would highly recommend. But the best part is that the install is identical to the 2nd gen unit. You can reuse 2nd gen wall plates and you are set.

    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.

    Upgraded from the original Nest door bell. Picture is very clear and zones and notifications work great. Had a bit of a struggle getting it locked in place, but that might have just been a me problem.

    This best doorbell is amazing.its perfect. Mom in law has a eufy. It’s good too, but google just integrates with google home. It doesn’t intrude with sounds, but sends pop ups. We can make automations. It has AI so it can discern things. We have already benefitted I. Just a few weeks. Installation was easy for me. If you can use a screwdriver and a drill you can do this. Works great if you have a doorbell already in place with a transformer. The app walks you through identifying it. But almost all doorbells have a transformer behind the box inside the house. They just want us to double check the type. That’s the most doubtful part.

    Upgraded from a first gen. The field of view on the 3rd gen is much wider. I was not expecting such an upgrade. If you are on the fence, go for it.

    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.

    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.

    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 love my Google - Nest doorbell 3rd gen! It gives me comfort knowing I can see who is at the door at all times or if someone is just walking around my home. I love that it alerts me on the app. It works great! Highly recommend.
