Questions & Answers
Just got my Nest Hello. Quick question. It rings on all of my Google Home devices (we have 7). Is there a way to specify WHICH Google Home devices it will ring on? Really don't want it ringing in the kids rooms after they've gone to bed
Answered by Nest SupportAt this time there isn't a way to specify which Google Homes announce when someone is at the door, but we're working on getting this updated.
Can two devices access the camera at the same time for example if my kids are home can they see who is at the door at the same time I could see who is at the door?
Answered by AnonymousYes , both of you can access it at the same time
Does the doorbell have to be pressed in order for it to start video recording? Or does it start recording as soon as motion is detected?
Answered by MichaelDoubleA, that will largely depend on if you pay for their recording services or not. You get 30 days of Nest Aware for free, and while you have that or any other subscription, it actually records 24 hours a day, but how long that video is kept is dependent on which package you're paying for. You also have some liberties in setting up what you want to be alerted for as the Nest can determine the difference between a person and a pet, and can alert you only if it sees a person nearby, or if it detects any motion at all. If anyone rings it, it will automatically notify you and provide a clip of that person walking up to the door.
Does this doorbell use a lot of wifi data? I do not have an unlimited wifi plan so worried if it's constantly recording it will use up a bunch of data.
Answered by TechYou can adjust the data usage and image quality. It ranges from 30gb to 300gb a month based on setting you choose.
Is there a monthly service fee involved with the NEST?
Answered by JonasYes and no. You don’t have to pay but if you want the camera to record 24/7, then yes you pay. Otherwise it will be just a video doorbell and not a camera that continuously records. I pay $50/yr for 5 days. You could pay $100/yr for 10 days, or $300/yr for 30 days.
