Nest Doorbells from Google Now Available at Year’s Lowest Prices

If you’ve ever been concerned about package theft while you’re out, a video doorbell can provide some reassurance, allowing you to monitor deliveries from anywhere. Google has some top-notch options, and currently, the battery-powered second-gen Nest Doorbell is priced at $129.99, which is a $50 discount and lower than its recent price on Amazon. If you prefer a wired setup, the third-gen Nest Doorbell is also discounted to $139.99, a $40 savings, available at various retailers and matching its lowest price yet.

For those in rental situations, the battery model is a great choice since it can be installed without any wiring. However, if you have existing doorbell wiring, the wired version is a smarter long-term investment. It connects directly to your home’s doorbell system, eliminating the need for recharging, and it offers superior 2K video quality with a wider 166-degree field of view, compared to the battery model’s 960p resolution. The wired version also provides up to six hours of built-in video previews, while the battery model offers three hours of event-based history by default.

Both Nest models are excellent video doorbells that send alerts for people, packages, and pets without requiring a subscription. They come equipped with features like night vision, two-way audio, and a tall head-to-toe view, making it easy to see visitors and deliveries. Plus, they integrate seamlessly with other Google devices, allowing you to view feeds on compatible Google TV devices and Nest displays.

With a Google Home Premium subscription starting at $10 a month, you can access 30 days of event-based history and a range of Gemini-powered features, including alerts for familiar faces. If you opt for the Google Home Premium Advanced subscription at $20 a month, you’ll gain 24/7 recording, quick video history searches, and more detailed notifications, among other handy features.
