Nest Hello review: A premium doorbell for the paranoid homeowner

Last September, Nest introduced several new offerings aimed at beefing up your home security. There was the Nest Secure alarm system, an outdoor version of its Nest Cam iQ and the Nest Hello, its first-ever video doorbell. The Hello is obviously Nest’s answer to Ring, a competing video-enabled doorbell brand which has since been snapped up by Amazon.

Summary

Nest’s first video doorbell doubles as a security camera. The HDR video looks great, and the 4:3 aspect ratio combined with a 160-degree field-of-view means you can get a full look at your guest before opening the door. We recommend getting the Nest Aware subscription, which unlocks continuous 24/7 live video recording, at least five days’ worth of archives, and face recognition. The Hello is especially useful if you have other Google or Nest products in your home.
