Product ReviewsGoogle Nest Hello Smart Wi-Fi Video Doorbell (NC5100US)

Cool gadget!

This was a gift for the wife and at first she hated it, but fortunately we have a teenager who showed her how to install and operate the app on her phone and now she loves it! The camera shows great detail and has excellent night vision. We got a used one (hard-wired type) and we had to erase its memory from the previous owner and we had some other small issues (such as properly hooking up the little electrical gizmo to our existing doorbell chime), but there are several good YouTube videos which walk you through the installation process. Downside: I now get a phone call from the wife every time I go out the front door to find out where I'm going...Read full review...

Wired nest doorbell

I have a wired nest doorbell at my main entrance of my home and wanted another for the back to keep an eye on the backyard. This one however doesn’t have a clear picture but has all the other features nest offers. This was a used product and this is probably the reason they sold it! That being said I would still recommend nest products ! Had them for years this is the first time I been disappointed. Have to buy new product to replace this one. Read full review...

Nest is pricey but best of breed

This is easily the best video doorbell out there. It’s durable and made of high quality materials. WiFi/network config is a snap. Physical installation is easy too. I love the 4:3 aspect ratio as it makes great sense for the location of a doorbell.

The wedge to let you change the view angle 15 degrees is helpful but will not fully compensate if your bell is in a recessed corner or on a porch. Also it does not do a great job with packages, mainly because with standard height, it can’t fully see the floor space directly in front of it. This could probably be corrected with lens curvature but they didn’t want to do that it seems for the doorbells, as opposed to the standalone Nest cams. I’m sure i could lower it, but this is more difficult due to the location of the hole for the existing doorbell wire. I imagine many users will have this problem as well.

Doorbell cams have a way to go, but Nest is the best one out there by far. Read full review...

Almost too good!

The unit is connected to a transformer that I installed in a wall about 3’ from the Nest. Everything works great! The only exception is the fact you cannot adjust the sensitivity of the microphone. If you set the unit up to acknowledge and send notifications from either the sound or motion you will receive hundreds of messages a day showing very slight movements or micro sounds that are barely heard by the human ear. I am looking into making some type of covering to help with the sound sensitivity. Otherwise it works just fine!

Great picture for me, I don't know why I waited

Well I had another brand for 3 years and I had continuing problems with it holding a charge even though it was hard wired I kept getting the message that my battery was low. After many months of putting up with this nonsense I made the switch to the NEST door bell. All I can say is it's AMAZING with the picture quality and capturing the whole front of my house. Very pleased and glad I made the switch.Read full review...

Nest Doorbell Cam

This was a Birthday gift for my daughter, she had just purchased her first home. I have installed a Nest Security System that she can monitor her pup and the house while at work. I chose a wired doorbell camera, installation was tough because her house is brick and was not wired for a doorbell. I bought everything I needed to install it off eBay, 1/4"x18" drill bit, 16v transformer, wire, and a doorbell.
She is lucky to have a father that is a "jack of all trades but a master of none",, :lol:
Sorry, didn't take any pics to post.Read full review...

great doorbell camera!

This is an amazing camera. The free 24 hours of recording is just enough for my family. I'm disappointed that the other Nest features (face recognition, longer historic recording access, etc.) is a premium feature.

The hardware is beautiful. It's got the best wired chimes integration. I love that it also integrates with Minis throughout my house for ringing and my Nest Hub.

Price is steep, but eBay!Read full review...

Great product.

Great product really enjoy the features. This has got to be one of the best purchases I have made, this doorbell picks up any movement (bunnies, bugs) and is even aware of wind noises - fantastic field of view and quality of picture. Would/will buy again.Read full review...

Very useful

My favorite feature is that it integrates with Google Home and no matter where you are in the house when someone rings the doorbell and you’ve activated face recognition it will tell you exactly who is there. We cannot hear the doorbell when we are upstairs so this is a perfect solution for us. Plus if you don’t care to talk to those home security salesman or Jehovah’s Witnesses you can just tell them so through the intercom.Read full review...

Great system Beat Ring brand.

I had a Ring doorbell,itwas a piece of garbage. This doorbell has a lot better camera and sound. Just go under settings and turn off the switch that says all other movement or headlights or light fluctuations will set it off.Read full review...

Google Nest Doorbell

A very nice piece of good looking technology. Installation was a breeze as the instructions for installation were very straightforward and easy to follow. The picture quality is excellent with a very good range. I can literally see my entire front yard. Was also easy to set up with the google nest app. Only downside is it is not integrated into the google home app. Overall I am very satisfied and would recommend this product.Read full review...
