Nest didn’t reinvent the doorbell \u2014\u00a0that was done already. But it’s made the best one you can buy.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

This review was written on March 27, 2018, and reflects the reviewer’s thoughts at that time.<\/p>\n

In retrospect, I should have seen this coming long ago. The idea of a video doorbell isn’t all that novel. It’s just a basic button, camera, speaker, and mic, with some flashing lights tossed in. That’s not all that technologically advanced, right?<\/p>\n

Nor does such a thing need to do all that much. It needs to show you who’s at the door. It needs to allow you to talk to that person, and you talk to them. And it needs to record all this somewhere accessible, should something untoward happen.<\/p>\n

No. Video doorbells, at their core, really are relatively simple products. So what could Nest Doorbell (wired) \u2014 the video doorbell entry from the Google-owned company known for its gorgeous thermostats, cameras, security system (and not-inexpensive prices) possibly do that the other best video doorbells<\/a> don’t?<\/p>\n

A good bit, I’ve learned in a week or so of initial use of a Nest Doorbell (wired) purchased at retail. But also not without some room for improvement.<\/p>\n
