Google’s next-generation wired doorbell is making waves with a significant leap in visual clarity and coverage. Following an initial retail sighting, new packaging details confirm the Nest Doorbell 2K will offer a resolution of 2048 x 2048, a substantial upgrade from the previous model’s 960 x 1280 display. This enhancement promises sharper, more detailed imagery for homeowners monitoring their entryways.
The device also boasts a wider 166° diagonal field of view, up from 145°, allowing it to capture more of the surroundings and reduce blind spots. This expanded perspective means better visibility of packages, visitors, and activity near the door.
While the resolution for the accompanying Nest Cam 2K remains unconfirmed, the current generation offers 1920 x 1080 resolution with a field of view between 130° and 135°, depending on whether it’s designed for indoor or outdoor use.
Key features carried over from earlier versions include night vision, two-way audio, and weather resistance, ensuring reliable performance in various conditions. Operating temperature ranges from −4°F to 104°F (−20°C to 40°C), and the doorbell requires existing wiring compatible with a 16-24 VAC, 10-40 VA, 50/60 Hz transformer.
Inside the box, buyers will find the Nest Doorbell itself, a chime connector, base plate, 20° wedge, wire connector, hex key, wall screws and anchors, spacers, and a window decal. It’s important to note that certain features, including Gemini and some AI experiences, will require a separate subscription.
