Based on 1 year's data from Feb 18, 2026 How it works
I've been tempted to get one too, so disappointing they don't plan to sell them in the UK. I currently have my v1 doorbell powered by one of these - [https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0B3S3WX49](https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0B3S3WX49) . Would the same power supply work with a US model?
I have no idea why the new doorbell is only for Canada and the US. I already had to import the first nest doorbell from the US to Australia. Voltage issues shouldn't be an issue as the power brick just converts to 15-20v for the nest cam, works no different to a phone charger lol.
I have the 2nd and it's trash! Hate it. I prefer the first gen over the 2nd. I might buy the 3rd
I use nest gen 1 doorbell and use the starling hub to bring it into HK - no issues.
Big thanks! I was able to get it installed today. A bit more trouble than my (now dead) gen 1 was, but I got it. Thanks!
I’m also 1st gen wired, and I knew immediately when my battery died because it just doesn’t work as well anymore. I had to disable the connection to the physical chimes in the house because every time someone rang the doorbell the camera would reboot. I bought a replacement battery but haven’t had the courage to swap them out, and so I think this new camera (which I heard nothing about strangely) is my way forward.
I replace a gen 1 for a gen 3 since the camera was peeling, I like the 2k though, I also noticed it catching more events and describe them accurately. We have to see how will be with Gemini
My 5 year old Nest Doorbell just bit the dust. Video works but actual door button knocks it out and no inside ring or video for those 2-3 secs. I've got 6 Google Nest cameras and figured once they start going out I would move them over to Unifi cameras, but just replacing the doorbell is $130 and uses 2-wire and getting POE to that door jam in the front with stucco and brick is probably more than I can swing.
Why I feel it looks better from Gen1? I actually have Gen1 now, but experiencing with the battery issue causing reset every time when ring is triggered... very annoying. Considering upgrading to new model...
I have a few Wyze cams (NOT a doorbell), and can confirm that although they will display on Google/Nest hubs when commanded to, they take ages to hook up. I also have a 2nd Gen Wired Nest Doorbell. It's great, and displays in portrait mode, unlike the 1st Gen that's landscape from memory. There's still a few seconds latency with it but it's usable. The 2nd Gen is good at face recognition and is pretty much an all round good device, except for the wifi hookup which is poor. I have mine displayed permanently on a tablet on my desk, and it drops out and can't load the feed several times a day. I should also point out that I replaced the 1st Gen because that was also patchy on the wifi. I'd be happy to change it for something more reliable but I don't know of anything else that works with the Google/Nest hubs
