Doorbell / Home monitoring choices - Google's Nest system

I recently got the Nest doorbell, along with the Nest wifi with 2 access points, and i gotta say, i'm pretty impressed with how seamlessly this is coordinating with the Home app. I know it's basically a native system since Google owns Nest, but I really was struggling between this, Ring and Eufy options.
Any other Nest type of devices that I need to look into to expand my home security/monitoring coverage?

The nest cams (I have the older models and they still work great) are good too. I found that we needed cams that popped up quick and didn't take >3 seconds to load and nest was the only one to meet that standard.
We use ours as basically a baby cam for our infant and it works like a charm.
We also own one of their Nest Detect smoke alarms and that thing is great for peace of mind too. I think a lot of these are in short supply due to demand and all the industry backlog the last year or 2.
The irony is I have a ton of google products all throughout my house... rocking an iphone.
ETA: Hell, forgot to mention to get a Google Nest Home Max or Mini. Especially if you use/have youtube TV and/or google photos. My wife and I dump all of our photos into google photos so it turns the nest home max into a nice rotating picture frame showing my kids while I work. Then I can just say "Hey Google, play NBC" and it'll fire up NBC on youtube tv for me. You can even say, "hey google, show me the front door" and it'll load your nest cam

Yea, I can second a Google Nest Home screen. I got one free on a Black Friday deal when purchasing the door bell. It is nice to be able to stream the front door bell almost instantly from our kitchen where this thing is. My wife likes to use it for displaying cooking recipes and baking timers.

The nest protect smoke, CO2 alarms are quite nice too. Can get into nerd automations (that I have) that if it detects CO2, it'll turn all lights RED and sound the alarm.
Can also get into things like if your nest doorbell (or backyard camera in my case) detects a person (if you have nest aware subscription) past say 12am, it'll turn lights on or turn them a color, etc.
