I have the same problem, the night field of view is terrible due to the IR reflecting off the sides. I wish the new 3rd Gen had the higher quality, but the same aspect ratio as the 2nd Gen. Plus, with the square field of view, you cant see the packages as well.
I'm having a frustrating problem with my 3rd Gen doorbell install. I can't get the doorbell to mount to the plate. The screw holes align, but once I start tightening it, it just doesn't make the connection.
Any pointers?
Number 2 has three variants. One still rings the original doorbell, and the other two variants does not. Google is in the former category, and as far as I know, everyone else is in the other categories. Those categories have a local doorbell one plugs into an outlet, and are wirelessly activated (not dependent on WiFi), and those without a local doorbell other than the app. One surprise to me is that in the transition from Nest to Home, one can configure the local doorbell to chime or not, and it defaults to not. I guess this is good for the sleeping baby case.
1: Picture quality improvement is negligible because of the wider field of view.
2: I preferred the color saturations on the hello, in comparison to the 2k 3rd generation.
3: The video quality leaves a lot to be desired. They should’ve went with a 4K resolution sensor.
4: Colors seam washed out.
My Nest Hello was mounted using the wedge. I opted not to use it on the 3rd generation. The image above is an overlay of the images from each doorbell.
Overall happy with it, sharper image and can still the same coverage in the distance, but get a better up close view for packages put close to the door. Night doesn't seem to be as good though (that's not a light on the right, it's a nest outdoor cam)
