I've been wanting one of these for awhile. I had the Ring Doorbell 2 and wanted a hardwired doorbell. In my case the wiring was a bit involved as my original doorbell wiring was located waste high and on the side. After careful planning I mounted it on my front door replacing the Ring. I love the continuous recording of the Nest. Great doorbell camera.

Awesome doorbell if you have the transformer and door chime already connected. Unfortunately I had to install a transformer but nest hello will work without a physical chime. The Nest Hello rings outside and one second later will ring on your phone. I have not been able to connect the hello to the echo show yet but will update my review later. Enjoy!

These doorbells do not last and Google doesn't stand behind their products. My unit started delaminating in under a full year of buying. Since I didn't really realize what was going on I didn't think to try to make a warranty claim. I contacted google and despite only being a few months out of warranty they basically told me to go pound sand. Long story short, the product works ok when it's not self-destructing, but if you go one day out of warranty don't expect a bit of help.
I also had a Nest Thermostat have the wifi chip fry that I also got denied on as well. I'm dropping the end Nest ecosystem because despite feeling high-end at first, their quality is garbage.

I love it because I can stay in the Google family. Be sure you double check if you need an extender I had to get one but once I got it I love the angles that I am able to capture.

Best Video doorbell system I ever had!

I tried a couple other doorbell systems before, but Nest Hello just blew my mind! They really fixed a lot of problems other door bells have.
Let's start with installation:
Nest web site does have a quick compatibility check tool that you should use to verify your existing door bell is compatible.
Nest tells you in the manual that you have to install the supplied "power pack" or "chime connector" next to your chime, however if you have 2 indoor chimes - you'll need to find your door bell transformer and install the connector there. Just make sure you have both wires going to your chimes connected to the "chime connector" as Nest recommends - red wires from the chimes to the dark wire on the connector and white wires from the chimes to the white wire on the "connector", then the other two wires on the connector (transformer side with 2 push-in couplings), red wire to the transformer, white wire to the white wire going to the door bell button, red wire from the door bell button to the other tap of the transformer.
Pay attention to the transformer you have, if it's only a 10VA one - I strongly recommend getting 30VA version, it's inexpensive but will guarantee plenty of power for your door bell system even if you have 2 chimes.
When it came to the actual physical installation of the door bell - I found that my existing holes I had for the standard NuTone button did actually match Nest Hello's mounting holes perfectly so I did not had to drill into the brick. That was a major install time saving!
Can you install Nest Hello if you don't currently have a wired chime? Sure - if you can run a wire to it! Just don't hookup anything to the "chime" side of the "chime connector" and make sure to insulate the leads.
Once physical install is complete - follow directions in the app to setup your account, name the door bell, etc.
What happens when someone comes to your door?
First of all - Nest Hello has a white ring around the button that starts glowing - indicating that person's presense has been noticed and prompting them to push the button. Once the button is pressed - chimes sound instantly in the house (unlike the other door bell system I tried that had a second delay), and within 1-2 seconds you'll get a push notification on your phone/watch/tablet - every device you've got setup for that.
There is where the main difference comes into play - push notification from Nest would actually have a short 2 second clip in it clearly showing you the person! (It's not like you have to open up the app and wait 4-5 seconds for the video to come up and by that time they are gone like with the other door bells I had). You would also be given 3 choices of pre-recorded phrases: "We'll be right there", "You can leave it" and "No one can come to the door right now, but we are notified of your visit".
If you happen to have a Google Home in your house - it could also announce that "Someone is at the door" or even mention person's name if Nest Hello recognized the person as "familiar face".
You still get notified if visitor did not push the button and just walked away as well.
Nest Hello does work with the 3rd party apps but would just show up as a regular Nest camera.
Overall - it's a very positive experience and I'm finally feel like I have a smart door bell, not something I have to wait 10-15 seconds just to show me my empty porch.
Nest Hello's picture quality is very nice and night vision works perfect. With plenty of installation options and a very good app response time - this makes Nest Hello the best door bell system on the market at this time!

Purchased for a home I renovated to sell. The home wasn’t close to my residence so the camera as well as software once everything was installed and set up has been great!

Image doesn’t show who’s at the door

The doorbell mostly just shows a wall. I mentioned it to the geek squad installer and he said it’s because I need to turn phone into landscape mode. I would expect a video doorbell to show me who’s at the door just opening the phone in regular portrait mode.
The first image I attached is in portrait mide and shows someone at the door. But he is actually standing off to the side and you can’t see the person ringing the bell at all.
The second image is in landscape mode and you can see there are actually 2 people at the door. The person in front of the door is shown in left side of the image, nearly cut out of the picture. In portrait mode the one in front of the door is not visible at all.
