Customer Ratings & Reviews

The only reason it gets an extra star is because the unit itself looks good and is good quality. I bought 2 of these to 'upgrade' my old Nest doorbell cameras...I wish I hadn't. These and all other newer 'google nest' cams lack virtually all of the functionality the original nest cameras had. They DO NOT work with the nest app and you you get none of the rewindable history functionality the old ones had. And the Google Home app is terrible compared to the Nest app. I wish I hadn't 'upgraded'. Clearly when Google bought Nest they had no plans of maintinaing or supporting, yet they pumped out a bunch of expensive, pretty, yet more crappy cameras.

This was a fantastic purchase. If you understand that Google and every other technology service is using your data (anonymously) for their gain, and realize that when they OFFER you more benefits from it, that you're not actually giving up anything you'd notice, you can freely benefit from the services the the Google suite has to offer. I am happily convenienced by the Google Assistant. I am gladly updated when packages arrive and when people pass my front door by the Nest Hello. It shows us all kinds of things we were never aware of. It also knows when I come and go, not that Google needed help with that already, bc I keep my location on in my phone. Installation was easy and in my case, I am using a separate, remote power supply as I installed at my peephole (bc I have no doorbell). It attaches firmly to the door. I used an aftermarket power supply kit with a 6m cord. Everything for connectivity was straight forward and easy.

I prefer the nest to other smart doorbells-the nest app is very intuitive, and if you buy nest aware you get great features like face reco or package notifications. If you have other google devices at home you can watch the camera real-time or speak.

easy set up, works like it says nice clear video must have

Did a lot of research, ask a lot of friends, and chose this brand because it records constantly and has full head-to-toe camera image. It was easy to install in place of a wired doorbell. 20 minutes and it was up and running. Probably going to buy another one soon.

I’ve had the ring, had to buy extender to hear from the other side of my house. After it broke and customer service kinda sucked we went with best. So glad we did the image and quality is by far surpassed the ring. I love it haven’t had connectivity issues and no extender needed recommend to everyone!

Purchased this for our front door to add a bit of security and convenience. Works great with one issue -- if you have 2 doorbells on the same transformer, it may not be strong enough to power the video function. So far it is working fine despite this issue, although I plan on upgrading my doorbell transformer.

This has been very reliable with only a couple of brief instances of disconnecting from the Nest. It is very clear and works well at night. Getting a combined storage subscription would be better than paying for each one though. I am assuming that it has all of the security of your own Google account.

This is a project, not a plug and play product like ring. I upgraded from a 1st gen ring that stopped working. The ring had a built in battery to stabilize voltage whereas the nest hello requires you add a capacitor to your old door bell mechanism. Attaching a cap to my 60 year old doorbell wiring felt like a hack ( and likely to cause a short), and the cap didn’t even stabilize the 16V power supply enough to begin registration & configuration. Fortunately, after waiting 30 min, the yellow warning light changed to blue and I could connect the ring to the internet. If this didn’t work, I would have needed a rewriting project to upgrade my doorbell ringer box, wiring and transformer. Pros: Night vision is cool. Good resolution. I was able to share the Device with family over google home. Cons: Nest and google home apps take too long to connect, so it’s impractical to answer visitors with the app. (It’s a poor Quality intercom) . Also, this is the only google home device I couldn’t get working with my Sony android Tv. Advice, if you can, wait till technology matures.

Good camera quality. Very easy to instal and setup.

Bought this as a front door camera to record any suspicious activity. Works really great although my wifi is very weak outside. My guess is that it uses the indoor chime wiring both as power source and antennae. The ios app is functional and the connection both with camera and server from nest is very responsive. I recommend it.

I had the first gen ring doorbell, and while when it originally came out, the idea of a doorbell camera was great; however, a lot of lag and poor video resolution was the norm. Then I installed the nest doorbell and boy what a difference. Face recognition is just the tip of the iceberg. Definitely recommend over the ring.

I had purchased the ring and I'm looking in reviews and doing some research online I returned it before even opening it because the nest doorbell is a thousand times better. Night vision camera is much clearer and you can actually distinguish who's at the door and the simple fact that the camera record all day and not only one activated is amazing.

easy to install, clear video, very useful, great tool

We purchased this because we’ve had several packages disappearing. Great because we can see when packages are being delivered! Super easy to install and worth the investment because it links to the other nest cameras we have indoors

I like the fact that it is in-place replacement for traditional doorbells so in addition to getting alerts in the app/phone/smart screen you continue to hear the bell itself. It is running a little bit hot but nothing serious. I don't like the fact that advance features like face recognition require subscription with google/nest

Love my nest doorbell and the nest app. We have had nest before and then had a SkyBell when we had a security system and I really hated the SkyBell. The nest quality of notifications and video is far clearer.

I love the looks of the Nest over the Ring hands down. Many neighbors have the Ring and they looks like a black blob. Functionality is great as well. Sound, motion and doorbell alerts work perfectly. Took no time at all to install.

I was not ready to get outdoor cameras yet and this doorbell is the perfect solution for me for now. The picture is clear, and very tall/wide angle. I have a Nest home hub and WiFi system and all work perfectly together! I had GS install everything for me and glad I did! Everything works together perfectly.

I think that I had the Nest Hello installed within about an hour. The hardest part was verifying which circuit breaker that the doorbell was on. The picture quality is excellent whether in the day or night. The sound is good as well. We already had the Nest App so integration was a breeze.
