# Google's Second-Gen Wired Doorbell Drops Below $100
Google's second-generation Nest Doorbell wired model is currently selling for under $100, marking a sharp drop from its standard retail price. The discount makes the device a more accessible entry point for homeowners already invested in Google's smart home ecosystem.
The wired doorbell connects directly to your existing home power supply rather than relying on batteries, eliminating the need for regular charging. It streams video to your phone or Google Home display when someone approaches your door, and you can talk to visitors remotely through two-way audio. The device stores footage in Google One cloud storage, with pricing starting at $9.99 per month for 100GB.
For Google Home users, the integration matters. The doorbell works seamlessly with other Nest devices and Google Home displays. You get notifications on your phone and can unlock compatible smart locks directly from the Nest app. The second-generation version offers improved video quality compared to its predecessor, with better low-light performance.
The sub-$100 price point changes the math for budget-conscious homeowners. At full retail, the wired Nest Doorbell typically costs around $150 to $180, making this discount substantial. Installation requires either connecting to existing doorbell wiring or hiring an electrician, which could add $100 to $300 to your total cost depending on your home setup.
This deal suits people who have already chosen Google's smart home platform and want to expand their setup without major expense. If you're on Amazon's Alexa system or prefer standalone video doorbells from Logitech or Wyze, you should compare your options first. Battery-powered models offer easier installation but demand regular charging, while wired systems deliver continuous power at the cost of hardwiring.
