Title: Excellent
Review: I ordered this as a replacement to the same doorbell if had for years. Was super easy to install and works great. I prefer it to the 2nd gen one because this works on the Nest app and Google Home.

Title: DISCONTINUED BY GOOGLE!
Review: Nest before Google never disappointed! This camera was made by Nest, NOT Google. This camera is GREAT! The picture quality and build quality is excellent! Unfortunately, Google took ADT's money and nuked their good products for worse versions that are tied into ADT. Googleis now known for suddenly ddisabling the product that YOU bought and paid for monthly att amoment's notice. They are doing this to the Nest Secure Security System! Do NOT buy this new as google may be getting ready to kill the Nest app that this camera REQUIRES to operate! NOTE: This camera does not natively work with the Google Home app. Therefore you have to use the Nest app to set it up or make any changes!

Title: Best Of All Generations Of Google/Nest Doorbells
Review: The original and still the best. Recently replaced this doorbell with the second generation wired Google doorbell and it was awful. It had a poorly cropped video frame, lacked wide angle, and was only compatible with the Google Home app. I returned it and bought another one of these and am so happy. After 5 years the lens/plastic faceplate deteriorated a bit, but video quality was still pretty great. Overall it was great enough to buy again.

Title: Missing parts. Nothing but the doorbell and one of the brackets.
Review: No instructions, no chime module, only mount bracket was not one needed. Doorbell had to be reset before using. Fortunately I was replacing same unit and previous bracket worked.

Title: Added security.
Review: We had a Nest doorbell for about 5 years and it stopped working due to a wiring problem. We were happy to replace it with the same model. Easy to self install and operate. Working from home, it gives you an extra eye at traffic coming to your door.

Title: Failed After 3 Months. Google & Amazon Refused to Honor Warranty
Review: Update to Review, set to one star, May 2, 2023.I bought this in late DEC 2022, and it was delivered Jan 6, 2023. In late April, the device image went grainy. I've uploaded a picture. This can't be fixed with any sort of reset. I've contacted Google via phone and email, and logged a support case, and the response I get is:"We have already filed a request for the process of the replacement on your device and it shows here that Google does not provide a commercial warranty with your purchase. Please contact your original point of purchase to determine if a commercial warranty was provided with your purchase."On the Amazon product page for this Nest Doorbell, it indicates this:"Product Warranty: For warranty information about this product, please click here" .. and click through goes to a bare page on which it reads: "Please contact the seller directly for warranty information for this product. You may also be able to find warranty information on the manufacturerâs website."Great -- I'm in an infinite loop and neither side will help. So, two take-aways: ⢠you're on your own after the Amazon return period (~1 month) ⢠this is a low quality productAVOID!*********************************************Original Review, FEB 2023.I bought this to replace my SkyBell, which died after a network configuration change.I did the install for this myself, and it was troublesome. First, the doorbell indicated that the power voltage was insufficient. However it still worked to activate the existing mechanical chime doorbell inside. However it stuck the bell knockers (like tapping and holding, it muted the sound). I had to adjust the Chime Duration settings.Once I was through that, after some online research (I wasn't going to pay several hundred dollars for a "Nest Home Pro"), I researched more about the voltage problem. The voltage from my doorbell was insufficient - I think it was ~10V, and, for the Nest Doorbell (Wired), it MUST be 16-24 V AC, 10-40 VA. These specifications are really important. At that point I got up in the attic and followed my doorbell wire back to the garage where I found the hard-wired transformer near my garage door. I reviewed its type, then went to Home Depot and bought a 20V Hampton Bay Wired Doorbell Transformer, for about $25, returned home, popped the breaker for the doorbell, checked there was no current, and upgraded my transformer.After that, the unit started up and I was able to complete the app-based installation process.This unit has an included SD card in it, and it's not necessary to get a subscription to use it, which was one of the main features I was looking for. I already have home cameras that record, so it saving the last few hours of photos is good enough.Video and audio quality is very good, and so is the night vision. It's possible to do two-way audio communication.The only other problem I have is that when I connect to it from my phone from within the house, sometimes it doesn't connect, but when I disable wifi on my phone and connect via cell, it works fine. (I had the same problem with my old doorbell).

Title: The original (non-Google) and best!
Review: It still says âGoogleâ because it was being manufactured during a transitional period after Google bought Nest.Iâm so glad this version is still available. The latest Google doorbell has a much narrower field of view. The night vision seems to be better as well. Not sure why they decided to make it worse, and cost more.

Review: We had this for something like 4 years and we are generally happy with the performance. Itâs true itâs outside in the cold Canadian winter and in full sun in the summer, but it should be made exactly for that. Anyway, last year the plastic on top started to peel off and then, a few days ago it just died. As we were ok with it and as I found a brand new one on Amazon for 115$ I just decided to keep it simple and bought it. I got it the next day and I just replaced the unit outside. No wiring changes. I removed the old one from the app and added the new one. A 15 minutes job and it works. All good. I just hope it will hold better than the older one.

Review: I've had one of these before and it was a pretty decent doorbell camera. Picture is pretty good, night vision good, motion detection was good. Bought this one to replace my old camera and although it was easy to install, it would lose video whenever the doorbell button was pressed, and often would not ring the indoor chime. Probably something wrong with this particular unit but wasn't offered a replacement to try, just a refund. As Nest is no longer in business (consumed by Google), it's probably time to move on to a different brand.
