Pros & Cons
Pros

Most existing doorbell wiring is low-voltage ac. You may need to upgrade your transformer. This is a small device that attaches to your bell/chime.
Motion sensor works great, never misses anything. Camera works beautifully, detects motion and recognizes people from a good distance.

Competitiveness
It also has the best quality and look when compared to other doorbells i have tried.
If all else fails, buy yourself a google home mini for $40 (better yet, a used one from craigslist for $20), that does a lot mo... Read More
I don't know why google and nest have to confuse people so much with their nest doorbell variants.

I wasn’t expecting it to have wiring compatibility and had full intents of just disconnecting my old wired doorbell and put this battery one over it but i was able to wire it in and now i never need to charge it and it even works with our existing chime
