Buying call

Buy the Nest Doorbell (wired, 3rd gen) if you use Google Home and want smart alerts: reviewers praised its vivid 2K video with a very wide view and zoom, AI video search and event descriptions, voice control, dual-band Wi-Fi, a sleek design and limited recording without a subscription. Skip it if you need a battery doorbell or want to avoid subscriptions, because it's wired only and the best AI features cost extra. It doesn't support HomeKit, and there's no local storage.
