Nest Doorbell (Wired, 1st Gen)

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.

That was not my experience at all. I can objectively say the v2 was a worse image for me. A license plate I could easily read on v1 was blurry in v2. Both cameras set to their highest upload setting.

I went from an older nest doorbell to G410. Like you, my experiences have been positive as well. I escaped nest right before they bumped up their prices so I am glad I am not paying $10 a month for always on recording. The chime works well for me. But I agree with you on the size. It’s much bigger than the older previous gen nest doorbell.

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.
