Running these analyses costs money. Buy through my links to help keep lights on! I may get a small commission.
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
Just seen this comment. Thanks. I’m in Ireland. My wired gen 1 is on the way out and I want to get a wired gen 3. Will order off US Amazon. Thanks for posting
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!!
Where are they selling it? I can’t find it in the Nest store. My current one that I bought and installed in 2018. Finally broke. Not sure what happened. Of course this happens when I am in the shower!! The house doorbell went absolutely berserk and was constantly ringing. Nobody outside, no one pressed the button. The doorbell it self seemed hotter than normal. I can’t find one of the 2k ones. My first gen was a 3 megapixel camera. The 2nd gen ones are only 1.3 megapixel. Talk about going backwards
