What the differences mean

Alerts without a plan

The Google Nest Doorbell (wired, 3rd Gen) detects people, packages, animals and vehicles on the device without a subscription. On the Wyze Video Doorbell v2, people and package alerts need the optional plan, and owners report a lot of false alerts without it.

Local storage

The Wyze Video Doorbell v2 records to a microSD card and offers RTSP. The Google Nest Doorbell (wired, 3rd Gen) has no card slot, keeps the past 6 hours of events free and needs Nest Aware for more.

Night vision and HDR

The Wyze Video Doorbell v2 has color night vision, which owners single out as excellent. The Google Nest Doorbell (wired, 3rd Gen) is black and white at night but adds HDR for bright doorways.

Wi-Fi and platforms

The Google Nest Doorbell (wired, 3rd Gen) uses 2.4 and 5 GHz and adds SmartThings. The Wyze Video Doorbell v2 is 2.4 GHz only and does not work with SmartThings.

Weather resistance

The Wyze Video Doorbell v2 is rated IP65 and the Google Nest Doorbell (wired, 3rd Gen) IP54. Both are made for a covered porch, but the Wyze is the better protected against driving rain.

Which one to buy if

What owners say

Owners of both doorbells praise the 2K picture, the head-to-toe view and quick installs on existing wiring, and both groups say the smartest alerts and long history cost extra. Google Nest Doorbell (wired, 3rd Gen) owners single out alerts that accurately separate people, packages, animals and vehicles, a Live View that loads almost instantly and the Nest Hub display, and they mention Nest Aware for continuous history, no chime in the box and a pause in deep cold. Wyze Video Doorbell v2 owners call it the best doorbell value around, love the color night vision and the way it rings an existing mechanical chime, and warn about many false alerts and a notification cooldown without the optional plan, a delay before the chime fires, cameras dropping offline and a flimsy mounting plate.

Price history compared

Every price change of both, in the same store, so the gap between the two lines is what one costs more than the other.
