Google is already preparing a 2nd-gen Nest Doorbell with 24/7 recording

Filling the functionality void little by little.

What you need to know

  • Nest Doorbell (wired) will be launching in 2022 with 24/7 continuous recording.
  • This product will likely look similar to the existing Nest Doorbell (battery).
  • The Google Home app will be getting an update in 2022 to bring all your older Nest cameras and any third-party cameras to a single app.

Google's latest Nest Cams came with a fancy redesign and the ability to run on battery power, but they left a bit to be desired when compared to previous Nest products. Nest Doorbell (battery), in particular, was missing the continuous recording feature that made the original Nest Hello one of the best video doorbells. While 2021's Nest Doorbell (battery) doesn't appear to be getting new functionality, a new Nest Doorbell (wired) will have what the people wanted.

Debuting sometime in 2022, Nest Doorbell (wired) will, presumably, share looks with Nest Doorbell (battery). Google was light on details in its announcement but will likely announce more soon.

Google's latest Nest products made the move to using the Google Home app as the only way to access the camera feed and settings, which would have been fine if it didn't require existing Nest customers to continue using the separate Nest app to control their other Nest cameras. Thankfully, Google is listening and will be bringing your old Nest cameras to the Google Home app sometime in early 2022.

That move means you'll soon be able to manage and view all your Nest cameras — whether they're the 2021 models or one of the older ones — from a single app. Things will continue to be a bit of a mess until that happens, but it's good to see Google listening to feedback.

Additionally, Google will be adding all of your other non-Google or Nest-branded products to this camera section, making it easier to manage every connected camera you have no matter who makes it — barring that it supports Google Home, of course.

More smarts, less wires

The hidden cost of food delivery

Noah Lichtenstein Contributor Share on Twitter Noah Lichtenstein is the founder and managing partner of Crossover , a diversified private technology fund backed by institutional investors, technology execs and professional athletes and entertainers. More posts by this contributor What Studying Students Teaches Us About Great Apps I’ll admit it: When it comes to food, I’m lazy. There are dozens of great dining options within a few blocks of my home, yet I still end up ordering food through delivery apps four or five times per week. With the growing coronavirus pandemic closing restaurants and consumers self-isolating, it is likely we will see a spike in food delivery much like the 20% jump China reported during the peak of its crisis. With the food delivery sector rocketing toward a projected $365 billion by the end of the decade, I’m clearly not the only one turning to delivery apps even before the pandemic hit. Thanks to technology (and VC funding) we can get a ri

Technics EAH-AZ60 review: Contending in stunning fashion

Technics serves notice that everyone should notice these earbuds. Technics ventured into the wireless earbuds category to go after the big dogs in the race. Think of the likes of Sony, Bose, and Sennheiser on sound quality, as well as the best you can find on design and functionality. It's a combination that comes at a price, but if done right, it gets easier to justify spending more. That's the case Technics makes with its EAH-Z60 earbuds. Its newest pair aims to take what the company has done in the past and make it even better. The results are easy to like and are significant enough to consider them as serious contenders.
