Google - Nest Hello (Wired)

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

the only reason i want to get the new 3rd gen and move away from my hello is that the hello no longer rings the chime in my house so i have to rely on the app to tell me when someone rings the doorbell

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.

Good god Google. This is not that difficult to figure out. The 2nd gen was trash. Now this? I was expecting the video quality to be much better. Looks like I’ll be returning it and sticking to my Hello.

Not to mention the notifications are lightning quick now! I went from an early Nest hello to this new 3rd gen 2k and it’s amazing.

My nest hello died (UK) so ordered the gen 3 from Amazon US. 1 week left for delivery

For sure. But then I have no night vision at all. I came from the nest hello which had excellent IR and didn’t have the lights. I just prefer the standard IR is all.

Night vision on the 2k is absolutely horrible compared to the Nest Hello

The battery one can be wired, but it's so ugly. My Nest Hello wired died, Google RMAed it, but the RMA device won't pair, I'm currently stuck in limbo with Google support trying to get it resolved and now they've discontinued them! Should be interesting...

What do you think so far? I have two of the original nest hello doorbells and I much prefer the nest app (have the original nest indoor and outdoor cameras and 2 nest hello doorbells). I kind of have the itch to get the new 3 rd gen wired, what do you think so far and are you forced to use the google home app at this point? 

depends where you live. Original Nest doorbell is 24/7 recording (if you pay for nest aware plus) Or the wired 2nd gen which for some reason hasn't released in alot of country's including the UK. They have changed the app now so you don't hear a ding dong from your phone anymore which means you miss most of the doorbell rings as it's just a notification like any other app. Ruined the functionality for me as for the wiring. Dead easy if you are relatively near to a socket. Just buy a Nest doorbell adapter from amazon, feed the wires from the plug to the doorbell and plug her in. Obviously you'll need to drill into the door or frame and poke the wires through. I think 10ft will be ok, even easier if you can hide it under carpet

The alternative is getting the nest hello (the original doorbell) and setting it up on the nest app and never converting your nest account to a Google one. That would keep the ding songs as it were 😂
