Google - Nest Hello (Wired)

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

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

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.

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.

It depends on what you're looking for. I can't speak to BIFL, but I've had a Google Nest wired doorbell camera for a few years now. No subscription needed, and it saves events for a few hours. You can also adjust the "zone" in which it detects events, which I found helpful so I don't get alerts for when my neighbor across the way comes and goes.

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...

I can tell you from experience that a bright white google doorbell on C against a brick background, despite how visible and contrasting it is, still results in everyone knocking. I would go A and get a wide angle one

Google doorbell has a subscription as well. Didnt bother with it. So if you steal my stuff 3 hours before i wake up, the video is no longer available unless i choose to pay the sub. lol
