Google - Nest Hello (1st Generation)

I am progressively going local. When our Reno goes in the Doorbell and Ourdoor cameras I got from Google will be gone and alternatives that are local with Access via Frigate will go in. I can still access via the net but Google does not need to k ow who comes and goes from my home

I have no idea why the new doorbell is only for Canada and the US. I already had to import the first nest doorbell from the US to Australia. Voltage issues shouldn't be an issue as the power brick just converts to 15-20v for the nest cam, works no different to a phone charger lol.

I know I'm in the minority, but I opted to use the rtsp feed from the 1st gen nest hello and run it through my own ML pipeline for descriptive notifications. it's also a millisecond level response instead of 5-30 seconds + (if ever) going through googles pipeline, and actually recognizes residents contextually to suppress noise, and doesn't have a subscription fee for what is now a commodity feature They haven't released anything on the hardware side worth an upgrade for me, and their software I want to be moving further away from, not closer

I use nest gen 1 doorbell and use the starling hub to bring it into HK - no issues.

The Google Nest Hello doorbell does this, but the 5 - to 10-second delay on my phone is annoying.

Big thanks! I was able to get it installed today. A bit more trouble than my (now dead) gen 1 was, but I got it. Thanks!

1: Picture quality improvement is negligible because of the wider field of view. 2: I preferred the color saturations on the hello, in comparison to the 2k 3rd generation. 3: The video quality leaves a lot to be desired. They should’ve went with a 4K resolution sensor. 4: Colors seam washed out. My Nest Hello was mounted using the wedge. I opted not to use it on the 3rd generation. The image above is an overlay of the images from each doorbell.

I've got a gen 1 nest hello, wired for power, using nest audio / minis as the chimes.... The annoying thing is how long it takes to chime when the bell is pressed... Is this any better?

Honestly, given the state of Google products, I’d have to say my gen 1 nest hello doorbell has given me the least amount of issues. Not entirely sure how the new gen of doorbells are. I’ve had my gen 1 for almost 6 years now.

1st gen wired hello supports hksv once migrated to Google home. Using one on my back door and it’s been solid.

Interesting, I wonder why it isn’t giving you the option… I was pretty happy when starling released an update to support hksv on the 1st gen since it was just sitting in the garage! Made it my Backdoor doorbell and it’s been great with its peeling and all haha!!
