One of the best video doorbells I’ve tested isn’t a Ring or Arlo (and it’s on sale for Black Friday)

Google Nest Doorbell

I love having a video doorbell to know who’s at my door before I even get downstairs to open it. But aside from the surveillance factor, I’ve also come to rely on the convenience of knowing when my packages or groceries are delivered. I’ve been testing the Google Nest Doorbell for a few months and love it even more than I thought I would.

Right now, you can get a Google Nest Doorbell for $126, thanks to the upcoming Black Friday sales event, which kicks off next week after Thanksgiving. This discount saves you $54 off the original price of $180. 

I got the battery-powered Google Nest Doorbell, which is easy to install wherever you’d like to put it. You don’t have to worry about connecting it to existing doorbell wiring, though you can also get the wired version. Once installed and set up on the Google Home app, you get notifications of motion, people, and deliveries.

This built-in intelligence doesn’t require a subscription to recognize what is causing the motion alert, so you can use the Nest Doorbell’s best feature without paying a monthly fee. Of course, you can choose a Nest Aware subscription for cloud storage, which would store up to 60 days of video event history. The Nest Doorbell stores up to one hour of event recordings without cloud storage. 

This early Black Friday discount makes this doorbell’s price even lower than during Prime Day, so don’t wait too long to buy the Google Nest Doorbell at this price. If you’re looking for other great Google products, the Google Nest Cam (indoor or outdoor) is 11% off right now, available for $161. 

While many sales events feature deals for a specific length of time, deals are on a limited-time basis, making them subject to expire anytime.
