Winnowl Verdict

Even though the Google GA01318-US Wireless Doorbell Camera just cleared our audit with a LAGGING (66) Winnowl Index, that score is really a sign that you're paying for the name on the box more than the actual features you're getting. You’re looking at an Average Performance and Mediocre Value product here, but it’s coming from a company with Exceptional Brand Strength, so you're definitely paying a premium just for that name on the box. If you're looking at the Google GA01318-US Wireless Doorbell Camera Nest Doorbell Battery 1080P Video, the specs show that you should find the 1080p image sufficient for identifying who is at the door, though digital zooming will quickly lead to pixelation simply because that Resolution of 2 MP sits 54% below the class average. Honestly, we’d suggest a hard pivot from this Brand Tax product; that 5% higher price tag results in 8% less hardware for your dollar than the class average, so you're really not getting much for the extra cash.

In its class, this product's performance is 5% below the average and earns an Average Performance rating. It’s a bit of a mixed bag: the Storage Capacity indicates you should effectively be able to keep a week or more of high-traffic event history stored safely on the device, but you may find that the 2 MP Resolution means that you should find the 1080p image sufficient for identifying who is at the door, though digital zooming will quickly lead to pixelation—so just make sure that's a trade-off you're okay with.
