Google’s latest Nest Doorbells just hit their lowest prices of the year
If you’ve ever worried about porch pirates stealing packages while you’re away, a video doorbell can offer some peace of mind, letting you keep tabs on deliveries no matter where you are. Google offers some of the best around, and right now, its battery-powered, second-gen Nest Doorbell is available for $129.99 ($50 off) from Amazon and Best Buy, beating its recent Amazon low. If you’d rather go wired, the third-gen Nest Doorbell is also on sale for $139.99 ($40 off) at Amazon, Best Buy, and the Google Store, matching the lowest price we’ve seen.
If you want something renter-friendly, it may make more sense to opt for the battery model since it can be installed wire-free. But if you already have the wiring in place, we consider the wired version to be the better long-term investment. It needs to be hooked up to your home’s doorbell system but doesn’t require charging, and it delivers sharper 2K video with a slightly wider 166-degree field of view, compared to the battery model’s lower-res 960p footage. It also offers up to six hours of built-in video previews, while the battery version includes only up to three hours of event-based history by default.
Aside from that, though, both Nest models are great video doorbells that support alerts for people, packages, and animals without a subscription. You also get basics like night vision, two-way audio, and a tall head-to-toe view, which makes it easy to see visitors and deliveries. Both integrate well with other Google devices, too, so you can view feeds on compatible Google TV devices and Nest displays.
Additionally, with a Google Home Premium subscription (which starts at $10 a month), you get access to 30 days of event-based history and a host of Gemini-powered features, as well as alerts for familiar faces. If you subscribe to Google Home Premium Advanced ($20 a month), you also get 24/7 recording, the ability to quickly search your video history, and more descriptive notifications, among other useful features.
