Upgraded to the latest version which made this an easy installation. Better picture and more features. Know exactly when people are at your door and when packages come and go. Still adjusting to the migration from Nest app to Google Home. Battery went out in previous model. Repurposed the old doorbell in the basement to use as a camera to spy on the cat after adding a powercord to power the camera..

Works as expected the worse part was getting the doorbell to adher to the door tiny screws !! Only reason I have it 4 stars Works great easy setup

Updated ReviewI was disappointed to learn this product does not integrate well with 2 of my Google TVs and an older Chromecast device on another. There are no notifications when the doorbell is pressed. If I ask my TV to display the front door camera, it recognizes the command and doorbell, and indicates it is streaming the device. It looks like it is connecting, but instead of the camera feed, it displays a camera icon with a slash through it. You can see it in one of the images I posted. I can still access the camera by using the Google Home app on the TV, it will pull it up that way, so it’s not the end of the world. Just pretty disappointing. Otherwise, it’s truly a nice camera. I adjusted the zones to the point where I eliminated false positive notifications and only get notified now exactly when, how and where I want. Read my original review for more information.Original ReviewVery simple to install. The mounting plate lined up perfectly with my regular doorbell which was an unexpected bonus. I just swapped out the 2 wires and was done, not even 5 minutes. I have google speakers throughout my house, and a couple of Google TVs. I do use the Google Eco System but also have Alexa products. I looked at differences between this product and Ring, watched and read plenty of reviews, and landed on this wired product. I did not want to be concerned with batteries. I have an old house, wasn’t sure if the transformer had the power for this but I took a chance and it worked out.I did install the chime module that comes with it, and that too was simple to install in my electronic door bell. Two wires as well, you just have to make sure you are connecting the chime to the right place, meaning front or back door bell. The app walks you through it and explains everything you need to do. Anyone can install this if you’re of sound mind and body.The best part of this are the zones you can setup for notification and the type of notification. I only needed 2 zones, one for people and one for packages. Anything outside of those two zones will record people but not alert me. You can choose and select options on when and what you want to get notified for.It has very good, crisp and clear video images. I included images of what livestream looks like using the Google Home app, some of the events it captured, the 2 zones I created, and not but capture, which is also high quality but unlike daytime, night time is black and white.After 1 day of use, I can honestly say I think this is a fantastic product. I received notification that a package was left, and to my surprise, after I retrieved it, there was a notification on my phone that the package was missing. Of course it captured me retrieving it, but I thought that was fantastic and didn’t recall reading about that feature or seeing it in reviews. Of course I could have just missed it but it’s nice to know you can go back and see porch pirates that are out there.Earlier I mentioned I have google speakers throughout the house. I chose which ones to alert when the doorbell is pressed. There are a lot of options and customization. I highly recommend this product, well worth the $99 deal I got on n Amazon for a wired 2nd Gen doorbell.

Muy fácil de instalar y configurar. Use una tapa ciega con tres barrenos, 2x3/16 para los tornillos y 1x1/2 para pasar el cable.Use el transformador de Ring para la energía y todo sin problema.Funciona sin problema con todo mi sistema que es base Google. Bocinas, TV y Nest hub max.

I have had a Nest Hello doorbell for a few years, but recently it developed the symptom that my indoor electronic chime would only sound two notes, no matter what I set the duration to in the Nest app. The camera itself was working well, though the field of view didn't extend as far down as I would like. I also noticed that the plastic on the faceplate was blistering, so I decided to replace it with the Gen 2 Wired.The Gen 2 is a bit taller than the Hello (the battery version is even taller), which meant that the spacer I had 3D printed to bring it past the door molding needed to be redone. Luckily, the screw holes are the same distance apart. Installing was straightforward, and I used the included 20-degree wedge plus the printed spacer. Due to the way the Gen 2 mounts, I had to swap out the #10 long screws I had used for some thinner ones, as the screw heads blocked the camera from mounting properly. The Google Home app leads you through the install, but the URL shown for a web video leads to the old Nest Hello instructions!The chime adapter, while it looks like that of the Hello, is different and connects in parallel to the chime wires rather than in series.Once installed, I was delighted that the indoor chime worked properly again. I was also happy to see that the vertical field of view was considerably taller than that of the Hello, so that I could see almost all of my front steps without a wedge angling down. Image quality is better than the Hello, and at night the picture is still in color!Another advantage I had not anticipated is that I get notifications of people at the door almost instantaneously, whereas with the Nest Hello it was typically 20-30 seconds later. I attribute this to the local processing of images, rather than sending them to the cloud for recognition.Right now, my major gripe is that there is not a fully functional web interface, unlike the older camera. There is a beta interface, but it shows a live view only and tends to crash a lot. I hope this gets improved. The Google Home app isn't bad, but I like to use a web browser on my PC. A minor gripe is that email notification is no longer available, just push notifications from the app.

Device was having issues. And both Amazon and the seller couldn’t have behaved any worst than this. Extremely disappointed with the level of service I received while activating the warranty return…
