A revamped wired Nest Doorbell is coming in 2022 with 24/7 video recording

Google is feeling the smart home heat. Shortly after Amazon announced its dirt-cheap $50 Blink video doorbell, Nest VP Rishi Chandra announced that Google also has a competing second-generation Nest Doorbell coming next year. And unlike the recently launched battery-powered Nest Doorbell, the new device will be hardwired like the original Nest Hello. That opens the door for 24/7 video recording, something the battery-powered cameras can't handle due to thermal issues (plus you'd likely have to recharge them often). Chandra also says Google plans to launch a web view for the Home app next year as well, which will allow you to control cameras and other devices from your computer.
