The answer to this question depends upon the type of Nest doorbell you plan to install. In the case of the Nest wired doorbell, it needs to be connected to the existing doorbell system of your home.
Meanwhile, the battery-powered option can be installed directly if it is installed wirelessly. But if it has to be hardwired, then it will also require an existing doorbell system.
