Title: Great doorbell and easy install!
Review: I love this video doorbell! It is reliable and great quality picture! And best thing was that it only took me 30 minutes to install. I wasn’t expecting it to have wiring compatibility and had full intents of just disconnecting my old wired doorbell and put this battery one over it - BUT - I was able to wire it in and now I never need to charge it and it even works with our existing chime. Well done Google. Well done! Highly recommend versus Ring. Got one and it looks complicated as heck to install.

Title: Great upgrade from the Nest Hello
Review: I have had a Nest Hello doorbell for a few years, but recently it developed the symptom that my indoor electronic chime would only sound two notes, no matter what I set the duration to in the Nest app. The camera itself was working well, though the field of view didn't extend as far down as I would like. I also noticed that the plastic on the faceplate was blistering, so I decided to replace it with the Gen 2 Wired.The Gen 2 is a bit taller than the Hello (the battery version is even taller), which meant that the spacer I had 3D printed to bring it past the door molding needed to be redone. Luckily, the screw holes are the same distance apart. Installing was straightforward, and I used the included 20-degree wedge plus the printed spacer. Due to the way the Gen 2 mounts, I had to swap out the #10 long screws I had used for some thinner ones, as the screw heads blocked the camera from mounting properly. The Google Home app leads you through the install, but the URL shown for a web video leads to the old Nest Hello instructions!The chime adapter, while it looks like that of the Hello, is different and connects in parallel to the chime wires rather than in series.Once installed, I was delighted that the indoor chime worked properly again. I was also happy to see that the vertical field of view was considerably taller than that of the Hello, so that I could see almost all of my front steps without a wedge angling down. Image quality is better than the Hello, and at night the picture is still in color!Another advantage I had not anticipated is that I get notifications of people at the door almost instantaneously, whereas with the Nest Hello it was typically 20-30 seconds later. I attribute this to the local processing of images, rather than sending them to the cloud for recognition.Right now, my major gripe is that there is not a fully functional web interface, unlike the older camera. There is a beta interface, but it shows a live view only and tends to crash a lot. I hope this gets improved. The Google Home app isn't bad, but I like to use a web browser on my PC. A minor gripe is that email notification is no longer available, just push notifications from the app.

Title: Google Nest Doorbell is Exceptional
Review: I recently purchased and installed the Google Nest 2nd Generation Wired Doorbell and I am quite pleased with the ease of installation and the quality of the doorbell/security camera. The Google Nest notifies me in realtime and allows me to clearly see a video over my cell phone any time someone comes to or leaves my home. It operates seamlessly and is accessible whether or not I am actually at home. The videos are quite clear, the colors are vibrant and they are easy to view. This device is very helpful to keep an eye on kids, pets, family members who may be prone to wander, and, even packages delivered to your home. The Google Nest provides an added measure of security, comfort and peace of mind. I highly recommend the Google Nest Wired 2nd Generation Doorbell.

Title: Nest Doorbell Gen 2 (Wired) vs Nest Hello (Wired) Review
Review: I purchased the Gen 2 Nest Doorbell (wired) to replace the original Nest Hello Doorbell (also wired) for a few key reasons. The Nest Hello developed some serious lag over the years...when someone was at the door and rang the doorbell, the video would fail to load through the Nest app. This was really annoying. Secondly, you needed the Nest Aware subscription ($6 per month) for most the features...video recording, face recognition, package recognition, etc. Without the Nest Aware subscription, the Nest Hello was severely limited. Despite that, the Nest App was decent, no complaints. I had the Nest Hello for over 5 years just outside my front door, and it never failed on any given day, even in subzero temps during mid-Winter.The Gen 2 doorbell installation was nearly identical to the Nest Hello installation. The only difference was the chime module was slightly easier to install (somewhat less wiring on the Gen 2 model), otherwise it was an easy swap. If you're replacing the Nest Hello, as I did, you WILL need to swap out your doorbell chime module for the new one. The rest of the wiring is the same. Video quality on the Gen 2 is slightly better than the Hello, but not substantially better. The most significant benefit of the Gen 2 is you get many of the Nest Aware features without the need for the subscription...face/package recognition and the ability to record and review "events." Video history is fairly short however...events such as package deliveries and people only remain available to view for a few hours before being removed. Also note that the wired model does not have a battery, so it will not function during a power outage. Unlike the Nest Hello, however, the Nest Gen 2 will function and record video during an Internet outage.What you lose with the Gen 2 Nest doorbell is the Nest app is gone, and so is email notification. The only way to access/configure the doorbell is through the Google Home app. The Google Home app seems more limited than the Nest app, and the video frame is quite small within the Google Home app. If you have Google Home displays (including Google Home compatible smart clocks) within your household, video from the Nest doorbell will pop up on those screens whenever someone rings the doorbell. The Nest Hello did the same...however, as I mentioned previously, the Nest Hello was so laggy that video would fail to load when the doorbell was rung. The Gen 2 is much more responsive and snappier than the Hello, as it should be considering it's the latest and greatest. It would've been nice if the Gen 2 had a wider viewing angle, and a 16:9 frame vs a 4:3. Some may be disappointed with the video quality, considering there are $25 plug-in cameras that provide higher res video in addition to many more features for motion detection, etc. compared to the Nest doorbell which costs over $150.Overall Nest Doorbell Gen 2 (wired) is a good product...great for knowing who's at your door before you answer it, and a fairly effective theft-deterrent. Installation is not difficult and clearly explained on the website provided within the product documentation. Loses a star because the Google Home app lacks features and seems immature but it does provide great person/package recognition and the basic functions you'd expect from a fairly pricey doorbell camera.

Title:
Review: Lo tengo instalado en el exterior, sin cables, su funcionalidad es bastante buena, detecta muy bien los eventos en el exterior y se integra muy fácilmente a todo el ecosistema Google, la única pega que le encuentro es que al activar la detección de zona, la batería dura poquísimo, alrededor de una semana, si se desactiva eso, la batería se extiende a más de un mes
