A video doorbell isn’t just a gimmick—it’s a practical security measure that offers peace of mind and stored footage when something happens.
Don’t have a video doorbell yet? You can snag one right now for a sweet discount as the Google Nest Doorbell is $50 off at Amazon, which means you can get it for just $130 (down from $180).
The Google Nest Doorbell is a fantastic purchase if you want to remotely monitor who’s at your door without even getting up from the couch, or when you’re away from home.
It’s wire-free and battery-powered, so you can set it up to work with any door you have in mind. The battery lasts from 1 to 6 months on a charge, depending on how often recording events are triggered. You can recharge it by unclipping it and plugging it into an outlet. (Alternatively, you can hook it up with existing doorbell wires.)
This video doorbell doesn’t just give you access to footage when someone’s at the door, but it also comes with artificial intelligence. It can send notifications, telling you exactly what triggered the message, whether it’s sensing a person, package, animal, or vehicle.
Our favorite feature is its two-way audio, allowing you to chat with whoever’s at your door. Whether you need to give instructions to a delivery person or tell a visitor you’ll be down in a minute, it’s a convenience you’ll wonder how you lived without.
The doorbell’s camera captures HD video 24/7 and even comes with decent night vision. You can also check out three hours of event video history. (If you need more, you can get a Nest Aware subscription that provides up to 60 days of history.)
The Google Nest Doorbell is compatible with both Google Nest and Amazon smart displays and speakers, so you can easily integrate it into your burgeoning smart home.
If you’ve been waiting to jump on the video doorbell trend, now’s a great time to do so. The Google Nest Doorbell is on sale for just $130, the best price you’ll get for this outside of huge sale events.
