If you want reliable porch monitoring, the wired Nest Doorbell is discounted for Black Friday to $98 — roughly $82 off its usual $179.99 price. Designed for continuous door monitoring, it alerts you to visitors and packages and can help reduce missed deliveries.
Powered by a wired connection, the doorbell uses on-device processing to classify people, packages, animals, and vehicles, which helps filter events and reduce false alerts. It also integrates with Google’s Gemini AI to produce concise event summaries and let you search recorded video using natural-language queries.
Video is recorded at 1080p and the lens offers a 145-degree head-to-toe field of view. HDR and night-vision support improve image clarity in low light. The Nest Doorbell includes three hours of free video history; subscribing to Nest Aware unlocks extended features such as 30 or 60 days of recorded events, intelligent alerts (familiar face detection, smoke-alarm and suspicious-sound detection), and e911 emergency services. Nest Aware plans start at $8 per month.
At $98 for Black Friday, the wired Nest Doorbell offers strong value, but the sale price is likely temporary. If you’ve been considering an upgrade for package detection and clearer doorstep footage, this is a timely discount.
