    Can anybody share how this would compare to a RING device?

      These suck compared to tapo from experience

        depends on what you after
        google doorbell is still the best for google home hub integration

        but for responses time and the paid subscription fee
        definitely there are more other options in the market that supports local storage
        personally I would go with Reolink

        Nest Doorbell 2nd gen is a big improvement over the original model.
        Alot of the negative reviews are for the old 1st gen model.

    • Pricebeat on 23/08/2024 - 13:16

      Better off with alternatives like

      Reolink Video Doorbell PoE

      Aqara Smart Video Doorbell G4 with Chime

      TP-Link Tapo D230S1

        Any of these shown in Hub / Hub Max when door bell was pressed?

        • Pricebeat on 23/08/2024 - 14:18

          Not that I can think of.

          • Bargain055 on 23/08/2024 - 16:08

            @Pricebeat: Thanks for the comment. I have a few hubs - so I would be much handier to use when someone trying the bell.

        • sarakoth on 23/08/2024 - 17:26

          I was considering the Tapo D230S1 as it states it works with google home? It seems like there is a distinction between automatically showing the livestream (when motion or button is pressed) vs saying "hey google, show me the doorbell camera" and also being able to use the motion sensor to trigger google automations… it sounds like the Tapo will show the livestream to the Google hub screen is you ask it to.. I note the Tapo is much better resolution but I just want the best live viewing, so no delay, etc. EDIT: I also also google hub wont let you communicate via the camera and that you have to use the Tapo app for that.

      • F-22 on 23/08/2024 - 14:53

        I moved to Aqara from google and the detection is not as good. Whenver it rains i constantly get face alerts showing a photo of a puddle on the floor. Also does not stream to google nest hub if thats what you're after.

    • boomramada on 23/08/2024 - 13:28

      Ring is slightly better but this support google echo system.

      YouTube review - only 12 months old.

      Compares:

      • Google Nest Camera (2nd Gen)
      • Aqara G4
      • Ring
      • Blink

      https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Al7WYZ0x-2w

      Google Nest Doorbell (2nd) seems to compare quite well.
      Alot of the negative reviews seem to come from the original model before (Any review from ~January 2023 back)

      The 2nd gen from what I heard fixed alot of things.

      • littlesoldier on 23/08/2024 - 14:10
        +1

        I would say the only issue with 2nd gen is it no longer support the original Nest app
        I do like the Nest app more than google home app
        its much simpler to use imo

      • ATangk on 23/08/2024 - 14:21

        The biggest issue is 3 hours recording on free plan. They really should up that to 24 hours at the minimum, because you'd miss events if you just went to sleep. I guess thats the idea, forcing users to pay.

  • gingerscale on 23/08/2024 - 13:32

    This is the only cloud doorbell that gives you live access and ANY history (3 hours). so its a great option for people with Nothing now who want a super basic doorbell they can see whos at the door / whos been therefor the last 3 hours without paying any subscription. All other free services at this price point do only live view.

    • ozmian on 23/08/2024 - 13:49

      Eufy allows viewing past events and has no subscription (its optional)… just checked way back to Aug 17 (the day I installed it). the videos aren't stored on the cloud (I think a sub is $4-5/mo) but you can view them all remotely from anywhere.

      • gingerscale on 23/08/2024 - 14:29
        +1

        min price for Eufy is like $300-$600 this is $135. I should have added this.

    bought one Sunday from OW.. as i use Google Workspace, it doesn't work with those accounts.. 'an error has occurred' useless setup message.. their solution is to tell you to go sign up for a free gmail account, but then migrate all your other devices over to the free Gmail account too.. pathetic from a company that owns the services.

    took it back, went to JB and grabbed the Eufy E340 (as no home base required), costs more but has double camera and package alerts etc.. hammer drill out, 2 screws installed in 10mins and working perfectly.

    • E5TOQUE on 23/08/2024 - 14:04

      Google Workspace accounts have a lot of limitations when it comes to using Google services that are geared up towards the individual Google accounts from memory?

      • ozmian on 23/08/2024 - 16:28

        yeh originally they did.. like calendars but they fixed those a few years ago now.. this is the first one that's caught me out where I literally had no way of using the product at all (and got a lot on Google Home).

  • dlcx on 23/08/2024 - 14:02

    I have one, I find it so slow for notifications to appear when doorbell is pressed. Person is often walking away by time I get to door.

    • choofa on 23/08/2024 - 18:02

      Notifications to phone or google home devices?
      Mine is almost instant to the nest mini and hub in our house

  • Rsoul on 23/08/2024 - 14:22

    I have a grid connect which is Tuya, its 115m from the house and works great with an outdoor wifibooster. It allow playback from memory card and has morion detection. Works great with home assistant turning outdoor lights on when it detects someone

    As a doorbell camera for live view this is, in my opinion, one of the best options. Especially if you have an android phone and Google home ecosystem. If you rely on the doorbell to be a CCTV device too (for recording and security footage) then perhaps there are better options out there. I pair mine with a separate CCTV system so for doorbell and live view purposes it's great.

    • gingerscale on 23/08/2024 - 15:41

      Yep this is why I got it, I've got another CCTV already so this as a "smart" doorbell I can talk to people with and get 3 hrs of free clous storage is a big plus.

    great price.

    Note: you can now add skills using alexa app to trigger events when someone rings google door bell (you don't need to keep app, just setup and delete.) Shame google home app doesn't support the same.
    my skill turns on wifi light at front yard and turns on wifi light strip to red for 1 min and then turns off.

    • BargainMe on 23/08/2024 - 15:33

      You can do it through Automations in the Google Home app or Google Home website, I have it turning on my front light too

      • hopper on 23/08/2024 - 17:05

        Correct, I think it's updated, this wasn't case 2 years ago. Had to use alexa

  • OzDealsWanted on 23/08/2024 - 17:25

    Is this dyi (beginner) or do you need an electrician to install?

    • zarbicore on 23/08/2024 - 19:21

      If you want to hard wire it I would call a sparky. I just run mine off batteries, I charge it maybe once a month.

  • E5TOQUE on 23/08/2024 - 17:28

    Its runs off batteries. Pretty simple.
    If you want to hard wire it in or use an existing chime, you can also do that.
    Covers all your bases.

    Just make sure you read the notes I left in the description at the top.

  • poormansBoy50 on 23/08/2024 - 20:35

    Been using for 6 months and haven't charged the batteries yet. They seemed to be fine at times but they can have slow notification when doorbell is pressed otherwise very solid battery capacity.

  • CalmLemons on 23/08/2024 - 20:59

    This is the best one by far if you already have google speakers at home.

    Also looks the best if it matches your house, the others look terrible.
