Customer Ratings & Reviews

Had the compation's device, just wouldn't work. Got this one - not an issue at all. Very clear camera - picks up all the audio and just as clear as a bell. Straight forward easy installation.

I've had this doorbell installed for two days now, and so far so good. It seems to work very good. The picture quality is awesome. It looks a lot better than the ring did.

Bought it to replace an old skybell doorbell video camera I had for sometimes. Couldn’t be happier. Did everything it was advertised for. Couldn’t be happier. Great pictures as well.

Very first thing that you should do is make sure that your doorbell system meets the minimum requirements for the Nest Hello. Once you do that setup is very straightforward and easy. Download the Nest App and it will guide you through the entire process with helpful instructions and illustrations for most installation scenarios. Everything you need is included in the box including a masonry drill bit if you have to mount it onto brick. I had mine installed in less than 1/2 an hour. I used the wedge to angle the camera slightly since it was near a wall on one side and the camera angle and view were nearly perfect. Camera video quality is HD and provides a very clear picture. It also has a night vision mode as well. The audio quality is decent but I did notice a significant delay when sending and receiving audio from the Hello to the app. The Hello continually records and detects motion and will send you a notification when someone is at the door. The video clips are available in your app or online with your Nest account. Keep in mind that all of your video is stored online in their cloud so you have to be OK with that. Also, your video recordings are stored as part of the Nest Aware service of which you get a trial period. Once it is up you either need to pay for the service or no longer be able to access saved video. I was already using the iOS version of the Nest App as I already had a Nest Protect installed. I found the Hello camera functionality of the app kind of cumbersome to use and navigate around. When someone rings the doorbell you can use the app to send them a prerecorded message or talk interactively. Again, I did encounter a delay and sometimes a word would be clipped here or there when using the intercom functionality. There are a number of features such as quiet times to not record, notification customization, automatically turn camera on and off and more. Overall it seems to get the job done.

Moved into a new neighborhood - and this was the first thing I did to the new house. Really helps with peace of mind when you can see what's going on 24/7, and get notifications anywhere when it senses movement, a doorbell ring, or a package left at the door. Only negative - which isn't a big problem - is that it sends a lot of notifications. Last night during a thunderstorm, it was sensing "movement" each time lightning would light up the sky. You can adjust what it sends notifications for; sounds, movement, people, doorbell rings, and sketch zones to limit the on-screen area that it will notify you about movements.

Love this product! I love being able to see the surrounding area and not just narrow view. The ability to talk to those who ring the bell is nice. Clear picture and sound is clear as well.

I LOVE our nest doorbell! We’ve connected it to our Google minis so we can here the doorbell through the house when it rings. Super easy setup and works perfectly.

Great picture, easy to setup and install. Easy to link to Google Hub so you see who is at your door. It can learn familiar faces and does a really good job of that.

Easy to evaluate if compatible with existing chime. Installation instructions are verbose enough for an amateur to get done in a matter of an hour. Power drill is essential.

Finally installed it a few weeks ago and the picture quality is amazing. You do have to add a storage package if you want to keep video and see images from more than 8 hours prior to checking the app.

I have a home with large basement where I usually don't hear the doorbell. This camera is so great as I can now not only know when someone is at the door, but be able to see them too!

Based on many reviews I read, doorbell cams essentially came down to Ring vs Nest. When walking down my block, I see Ring being more popular at 8 vs 5 Nest door bell cams. While Nest has more doorbell options, i wanted one that was hard wired, plus when looking at outdoor cameras I really liked the Nest IQ outdoor cam. So ended up deciding on the Nest Hello doorbell and IQ outdoor camera pairing. Installed both the doorbell and camera on my own after watching youtube videos, and got both to work and synched up with the Nest app. The only thing is that i cannot get the doorbell chime inside the house to work. Decided to bring someone in to help get the chime working. So wish I had paid for the installation service that Nest offers for a troublefree installation.

This thing is amazing! I am able to monitor any one who comes onto my property while I am at work. You'll need an electrician to install it, but it's worth the cost for peace of mind.

The doorbell is a good addition to the Nest Cam that IO installed. They have some overlap but provide a clear picture

We love to be able to see who is at the door, when were home and when were not! Our door has no windows or peep hole so its nice to be able to see who is there before we actually open it!

I've only had this installed since this morning but it seems to be working great! Had to turn off the notifications for sound, the notifications got excessive. Super easy installation. Anyone could do it.

Quality is very good. There is some delay, but not terrible. I have fiber internet, so I know it is not internet speed delay.

This is the third one I have bought, so it’s safe to assume I like them. This was a gift for my mother and has gotten rave reviews so far.

Very good home addition to the home security features in our home. Live the NEST app and the ability to see who is at my door without being there. A bit pricey but got it on sale.

We got this for added protection for our packages and haven’t had a single complaint yet. We linked it to our Google home and it notifies us when someone’s at the door and alerts us who’s at the door with facial recognition. Highly recommend
