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.

Were you able to integrate this into google home system to use their speakers as a chime ? I've been back and forward with Reolink support currently with this wifi battery doorbell as there doesn't seem to be any way to turn off sound notifications being sent through to the nest speakers within the house  for motion/people/packages etc unless you disable all push notifications for those items full stop which defeats the purpose of a doorbell giving you notifications when someone approaches.  The google doorbell works well by ringing when pressed and simply sending silent notifications to my phone if the postman walks to the front and just drops off a package without ringing the doorbell. This reolink doorbell however is currently just sending constant sound notifications for every motion.  I've even tried making all notifications " silent " which still doesn't help the situation. 

If I uncheck everything except visitor then when someone approaches the doorbell but doesn't press the button, the camera won't send me a push alert. Google does it well where it sends me the notification, but doesn't play a chime in the house. The only time it plays a chime is when someone actually pushed the doorbell. Reolink however is chiming on all alerts through the google hub. The only way as you mentioned is to turn off everything bar visitor in push schedule, but I want to get alerts when someone comes to the front door but doesn't press the doorbell.

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.
