The second-generation wired Nest Doorbell is about 30 percent smaller in size when compared to the battery-powered model, which means that it will be easier to place the device in narrow spaces.

As for the camera, it offers HDR, and the company says the device has been tested in various conditions to ensure clear images. Further, the tech giant was also able to get rid of the fish-eye effect. DXOMark, which is known for rating smartphone cameras, has tagged this new Nest Doorbell as the best doorbell camera it has tested.

The camera can identify the type of subject appearing in the frame and can recognize if it’s a person, animal, or vehicle, which makes it easier for the users to receive alerts for specific types of triggers, reducing notification spam.
