Google Nest Wired 2nd Gen Video Doorbell in Snow + Nest Hub Max in Chalk

Nest Doorbell Wired (2nd Gen)

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Google Nest Doorbell is my first experience with a smart video doorbell and it's been a really up and down experience. First, you must check that the doorbell is compatible with your existing doorbell's wiring. Luckily, my transformer was in an easy to locate place and my current voltage was compatible. However, this may be an issue in older homes. The installation is pretty straightforward. You scan the QR code on the back of the doorbell ...

Easy install, easy config and it just works!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As always, I end up with a screw to spare! This time there is a reason. More on that later. First things first....I was a 'not completely satisfied' customer of the Google Nest Doorbell Battery. No matter what I did, I could never get it to work fully despite multiple conversations with support and a device replacement. The Nest Doorbell Battery itself worked fine. It was fine at recording video, microphone worked too and al...

The best smart doorbell on the market!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Google Nest Doorbell (wired version of the 2nd second generation) has several significant and marked improvements from its predecessor, and is poised to improve the Google Home experience once the Google software catches up. What I found to be an especially wonderful touch is that despite the second generation device being smaller than the first, the mounting holes are reused. As someone who tries to minimize the impact of my improvements, ...

Great video doorbell all around

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This will be my 3rd brand of video doorbell and this finally ticked all the boxes. Hardware, software, ease of installation, and speed. 1. Hardware This doorbell has a built-in battery so it will still function if it loses power and won't have to go through a boot-up process. The quality of the video is superior to both of the other doorbells I had in the past. 2. Software The Google Home app is perfect for this doorbell. I love th...

Get your own installer

Tbd. I would not recommend Lowe's and as this is my 2nd install in a row with issues. 1st lowes makes you go to customer service to purchase it.. the customer service specialist confirmed installation us offered and available for the product. After i paid fir for everything he didn't give me the item. I assumed the instler/vendor was bringing it as is the case with my previous lowes installations. After serveral calls. Bad AI and hang-ups. The CSR said i had to go pick.it up. That took some ti...

Great design and very functional!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This review is for the 2nd generation wired Google Nest doorbell which I used to replace my 40 year old electrical doorbell with. I thought that having a camera doorbell would be a nice upgrade and I also love the design of Nest products. One of the benefits of the Google Nest doorbell is that you do not have to sign up for a monthly subscription to use it. You can get 3 hours of saved recordings for free with your Google Home account or if you...

Easy to install with existing wiring.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Hooking this up to power was easy as I replaced my existing wired doorbell on the front of my house. Just ensure you turn off the power supply to transformer when hooking up the wires to the back of the doorbell to not cause any electrical issues. Just use the included connectors to hook up the doorbell wire connectors snugly while the power is off for the doorbell circuit. I have a brick house, so I used a hammer drill and masonry bit for the ...

Sharp video & great features

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Google Nest Doorbell offers a range of features that will help you to feel more secure and comfortable in your home. One of the standout features of this smart doorbell is the ability to two-way talk with visitors or delivery people. This feature is particularly useful if you're not at home but want to make it look like you are. With the ability to converse with people at your door, you can give the impression that you're inside and deter po...

Nice features

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the compact size of the video doorbell. Unfortunately, this was not compatible with our older doorbell and we had to purchase the proper transformer and have a friend who is an electrician install it. That being said, I can't really give any insight into the installation process, but I am happy with the Google Home app. It is quite easy to set up and work with. The video doorbell bell offers a 145° field of vision which is great for us a...

Google provides NO SUPPORT

This product uses the Google home app to connect and the Google home app has not worked for 4 days. It is constantly disconnecting. I've had it since 2017 and it is the most unreliable app I've ever owned. I originally bought Nest products and then Google bought the company and destroyed it. They no longer support the security system. That home app is constantly disconnecting. I have 37 GE lights, 3 outdoor cameras, 1 indoor camera, 1 camera doorbell, 2 smoke/carbon detectors, 1 thermostat, 1 Hu...
