Google Nest Doorbell (Battery, 2nd Gen)
Front door monitoring, visitor communication, package alerts
Overview
The second generation Nest Doorbell (Battery) is a 960p HDR doorbell camera with a 145 degree diagonal view and a 3:4 aspect ratio that shows visitors from head to parcel. A PIR sensor and on-device machine learning produce person, package, animal and vehicle alerts without a subscription, and the clip history that comes free covers the last three hours. It runs on a built in 6 Ah rechargeable battery or on existing doorbell wiring, is rated IP54, and is managed through the Google Home app.
