Product Information

Large field of vision: Google Nest Hello’s camera can capture areas of up to 160° with HG UXGA 1600x1200. So you’ll never miss a thing.
Motion detection: If the camera detects any movement in its field of vision, you’ll be notified immediately on your smartphone.
Intercom system: Even when you’re not at home, you can talk with whoever is at your door using Nest Hello. Or, if you’re not available, you can have pre-recorded messages play.
The Nest App: The Nest app keeps you informed in real time about everything that’s going on at your door. Without a subscription, you’ll have access to the basic features. Adding one of the three subscription packages, however, significantly expands the range of available features.
Mute function: Your children need their afternoon nap? Simply mute the doorbell so that your visitors don't disturb them. Everyone will get the peace and quiet they deserve.
Astounding interaction with the Google Assistant: The Nest Aware subscription adds facial recognition to your smart doorbell. If you also have a Google Home Mini, you’ll have access to an expanded notification feature: When someone rings the bell, the Google Home Mini will tell you right away who’s at the door.
Get more with Nest Aware: The paid subscription service Nest Aware allows you to save up to 30 days of video footage. Additionally, Nest Aware makes it possible for the Hello doorbell to recognize familiar faces. Subscriptions are available starting at $5 a month and can be canceled at any time.

The Google Nest Hello in action

The Google Nest Hello allows you to secure your front door. The video doorbell covers an area of up to 160° and records in HD quality. The 4:3 format makes it possible for you to always see people from head to foot, even when they’re standing close to the camera.

Nest Aware

Nest Aware is a paid additional subscription service that unlocks even more features for your smart doorbell. Here's a breakdown of the features available:

Get continuous recording for up to 30 days. See absolutely everything the camera has recorded.
Scan through your entire video history - you can see more than what's happened in the last 3 hours.
Facial recognition software - the Nest Cam will be able to tell who's currently being recorded!
Familiar faces - get notifications when your family members have come home (great for those with young children).

The Nest App

The Nest App is your access point for the Nest Hello. In the event that the motion sensor detects something, you’ll be informed immediately with a push notification. Using the integrated camera, you can check in on what’s going on in the Hello’s field of vision. If someone’s at the door, you can talk to them using your smartphone and the integrated speaker.

FAQs

How is the Google Nest Hello smart video doorbell powered?

The Nest Hello is mounted in the place of your existing doorbell system and provided with power in the same way.

Do I need to subscribe to Nest Aware in order to use the Google Nest Hello?

No, the video doorbell also works without Nest Aware. However, the functionality of the Nest Hello significantly increases with a subscription.

What Nest Aware subscription options are available?

There are three different plans available. All three include 24/7 recording, intelligent warnings, clips, timelapses and the option to set alarm areas. The only difference is in the amount of video storage. You can choose whether you’d like your footage stored for 5, 10, or 30 days.
