Google Nest Hello Video doorbell

The Nest Hello is a great bit of kit. Very easy to install and the picture/ sound quality is great! Easy to link up to all my other Google Home products. Would highly recommend!

The quality and build is ok, I am on my replacement already after 9 months, the finish wasn't great and started to peel off. I get lot's of lag and missed presses on the doorbell push button. It seems you have to really push the button a fair bit to get a full press, then it activates. I get lag, but then I change the Wi-Fi channel this seems to cure it until the channel os over-populated once again. Is it better than Ring? Yes but only marginal. It would be great if the Nest Hello had a chime you can buy like the Ring. It would save missed people and deliveries. However the quality of the recording is great, as to the storage options.

It's excellent and I would give a 5 star review, however, I've had two now as one had to be returned and they both randomly go offline and my Internet is excellent. I don't have footage when I want to go back to it.Also, it's very slow, by the time it comes to my phone and I answer, it's usually a broken image with no connect, I don't thinkni have ever spoken to a delivery driver to tell him/her where to leave my item

I was a bit worried about how complicated it would be to set up but it was so easy. We had someone from the from the Google list of fitters connect this up for us, took about an hour to wire it in. They also set up the Nest app and Google Home reconised it and instantly linked to it. I have set up alerts to the app on my phone and set it up so when the door bell is pressed all our Google Homes and Hubs say that there is someone at the door. :-)I have set quiet times so not disturbed by alerted for movement during the night and switched off alers for sound as living near London it was going off too much. One improvement could be to adjust the sensitivity.

It's certainly a great looking piece of kit for your smart home. And for me there was no other choice than the nest hello for my doorbell. I cannot give it five stars unfortunately due to the expectation that the video quality would be higher. I have turned it up to the highest setting and it is only a mere 2-3 meters away from the wireless router but it is still unfortunately a bit pixelated and for the price tag I would be expecting more in this area
