Nest Doorbell (Battery, 2nd Gen)

Personally, I think this is a low effort review. I have a 2nd gen battery which can be hardwired and is. Custom zones for notifications. It identifies the categories of person, animal, or package well. Reports when the package disappears from view. I don't ask it to identify specific people, because I can see who it is. Cam quality is good. Night vision is good. Two way voice. You get 3 hrs of events free but in reality this is longer if you haven't reviewed the event yet. You only need the subscription if you want to store 30-60 days of events or the full past 24 hours. I don't. Why? Because you can download the event to local storage for free if there's an issue. The only issue I've had is if my buddy shines his headlights directly into the cam blinding it, I can't get a picture of him peeing in my bushes.

There is no such doorbell that I know of. Unhappy with Nest I opted for a Reolink doorbell. At least it comes with a plug in chime, and will give you a notification and even a screenshot on your phone (and smartwatch if you have one). I've found that interaction with a person at the door is better than the two Nest doorbells that I have had. They are viewable on a Google/Nest hub, but no chance of interacting with anybody through that portal. And the lag is very long.

I have 2 Nest Doorbell (battery) cameras. One for side door and the other for front door. I also have 1 Nest indoor camera with power and 1 Nest outdoor camera (battery) for the back yard. All work well with Google Home. The Home app displays all 4 very fast and alerts when there is movement. They are not the newest 2k models but really these 1k models work just fine. FYI.

For that money you're probably better off buying the newer gen wired nest doorbell from Amazon US. It works perfectly in the UK and is much faster and quicker to load in the app compared to the battery version.

Google next video doorbell no issues at all! i have the battery version
