Unboxing Google's Nest Doorbell, including setup and a hands-on review with the best features. Adding a video doorbell to your smart home is a great idea in 2021, boosting your security and allowing you to see who's calling when you're away. The Google Nest Doorbell is £179 in the UK and a solid rival to the Ring and Arlo options, with Nest Aware support for a monthly subscription.
Setup is thankfully straightforward, helped along by the excellent instructions which extends to video and illustrations. You've got everything you need in that box, besides a drill and screwdriver.
The Nest video doorbell offers live streaming from the 720p camera, which produces good-enough visuals that can be a bit grainy, but does the job. Google's Home app allows two-way communication, while smart features like priority zones and object detection are present and correct.
However, if you want more than three hours of video history, you'll need to stump up for a Google Nest Aware subscription.
