** Update: Just learned that Nest Hello has a theft replacement protection which is on their support page. There is no mention about this on their product page on their site, on the product box or any literature included inside the box - nest.com/support/article/What... **
Today we will be comparing the new video doorbell from Nest to the Ring video doorbell pro. The requirements, setup and specs of these 2 cameras are almost the same. I have reviewed these cameras separately and I'll include those in the description down below. On this video, I'll be mostly comparing the functionality, the features, cost of owning, similarities and differences on these cameras. I can tell you right now that both of these cameras have their pros and cons.
Nest Hello Review - • Nest Hello Video Doorb...
Ring Doorbell Pro Review - • Ring Video Doorbell Pr...
Upgrading to Pro - • Ring Video Doorbell Pr...
Ring Doorbell Pro - amzn.to/2G130G9
Nest Hello - nest.com/doorbell/nest-hello/...
First, both cameras are wired and needs to be wired to an existing doorbell and chime at your house. It needs a 16-24 volt AC power. You will need to install the included pro power kit for the Ring and the chime connector for the Nest Hello to your existing chime unit.
So, let's start off with the pricing... Ring doorbell pro retails at their website at $250 dollars but at Amazon, you can find it sometimes as low as $199.
Nest Hello retails at $230 dollars on their website.
Both doorbell cameras are 1080p HD with 160 degree FOV
They can be connected to your WiFi either on a 2.4 or 5 GHz frequencies
Both cameras uploads to their respective cloud servers and one of the main differences between the 2 is that the Ring Pro only records when there is motion plus when somebody pushes the doorbell button and also when you check your camera using the Live View. With the Nest, it records to the cloud 24/7. Both cameras need a minimum of 2 Mbps upload and download speeds to properly work and with the Nest, you need to make sure your internet is not capped because it can use from 150GB to 600 GB of upload bandwidth per month.
They have 2 way audio which Nest edged out a bit for clarity and volume...
One caveat though...Nest only records the audio from the person on the camera and not the other person talking from the phone. If you need the footage later on to verify what was said...then you are only able to hear one side... check it out...
As to operating temperature..Ring has a wider range at -5 to 120 degrees Fahrenheit while the Nest only from 14 to 104 degrees...So, Nest might not work in too cold or too hot climates... I'll be testing the higher end here pretty soon when summer hits..

Lifehackster... I have a question. You have a lot of Experience with the ring doorbell pro. We get a buzzing white noise when we open live feed with the ring doorbell pro. the sound goes away when we hit the green top button but if we just have live feed with no talking ability it is coming through on the video. so basically every motion it picks up the audio has that hissing buzzing sound in the background. Any idea what could be causing that?

I’ve had my Ring Pro installed since Aug 2017. I’m extremely happy with the solution. I’ve had zero problems with it ringing original chime. Ring does a great job with continuous software updates to enhance their solutions. May 2018 I installed a wired spotlight cam in my backyard to keep tabs on pesticide and lawn fertilizer applications (backdoor monitoring). I noticed the live view on the spotlight camera is hit or miss as there is frames that are dropped. I know my WiFi signal is solid (triple pack eero).

Thanks for the comparison! What quality setting did you have the Nest Hello set to? I liked the fact that the Nest Hello records more vertical video, it was able to record your son's face whereas the Ring wasn't able to when he was close to the camera. The 1-way audio recording is annoying but seems like it could be fixed with a software update. What is your Upload Speed like at your house? I'm concerned about the operating temperatures. In my location temperatures above 104 are common in the summertime. Which did you decide to keep?
@LifeHackster
@LifeHackster 6 лет назад
I have it set to medium...and whenever I toggle it to the highest setting, the camera will go offline...My upload speed at the front door is 7 Mbps... The operating temp is also a con for this doorbell camera... I still can't decide which one to keep..we will see...
@curtisbme
@curtisbme 6 лет назад
Was wondering the same thing as well. I've rarely seen Ring video be this good with any consistently (Ring degraded video for everyone last year to apparently save bandwidth) and all the comparison videos I've seen from other reviews have much sharper Nest video so I assume they have the connection speed turned to max (which I can do without issue but I understand many folks can't especially if you stuck with cable upload speeds).

@LifeHackster
@LifeHackster 5 лет назад
I'm assuming you have the Nest Hello. Yes, it will work but it needs an existing doorbell wires to power up the doorbell or you can purchase an AC adapter to wire and power up the doorbell camera. Ring has the Ring 2 doorbell which is battery powered and you can easily install it without having to deal with wiring.

@LifeHackster

Yes..my video footage is compressed a lot more than the Ring... you can change the setting and it is originally set at middle at medium setting and whenever I toggle it to the highest setting, my camera will go offline... the motion detection alert issue can easily be fixed by a firmware update..it is also the same with their outdoor cam.
@airjordanballa20
@airjordanballa20 6 лет назад
The nest saves in high quality though so this is a null argument. It compresses to show you the live feed but saves in high quality. Ring is always crap quality. I’ve had mine for a year and hate it.
@LifeHackster
@LifeHackster 6 лет назад
The Nest footage that I've shown are from saved videos downloaded from their site...I know that their videos are more compressed than the Ring's because on my video editor, the preview window (lower resolution) will show the Nest way grainier than the Ring's or my footage from my video camera...

@RicoWright
@RicoWright 6 лет назад
Lifehackster for the nest do you have the all other motion notification checked in the app? I ask because you only got the notification of a person being there which I'm sure takes longer because the video is being analyzed (facial and whatever else) to identify it's a person. If you check the events you should see a motion log before it identified a person. See if there's a lag with the notification checked.

Lifehackster I have had the ring pro and floodlight cam for a few months now after watching your vids. I’m deciding if to turn the motion detection off as it’s constantly driving me mad. I presume the ring will continue to store any movement videos anyway, only problem I have found which I’m in a debate with ring about is my floodlight cam is constantly detecting my cat with the motion set to people only, ring even swapped the floodlight cam but second one still does it which proves this this a software related issue. Have you experienced anything like this with yours ?
@LifeHackster
@LifeHackster 6 лет назад
I don't have pets, so I really cannot test but I can tell you that depending on how near the subject is, it will trigger the motion alerts. I know Ring kinda tweaks their algorithm on motion detection on a regular basis, so sometimes, you will get alerts that you normally don't have.

I was so indecisive for about a month and I was going back and forth with the 2 even after seeing your videos. After much, much research I went with Ring Pro. :D. My husband and I made the best decision and we are absolutely thrilled with it! You Might ask why we went with RING? First, RING has more features (besides face recognition.) I instantly get notified and I have no issues with delays (like most people are claiming.) I am loving neighborhood watch on the app. The fee is only $3 unlike Nest which is $5. Three family and friends are loving my doorbell and they are going to purchase a Ring as well. I wish I could get incentives for referring. Lol. I know Ring has a couple of kinks but they are reputable and have been around longer then Nest. I know for certain that they will keep updating and just keep getting better with Amazon buying them out. :) RING is five stars for me!
@LifeHackster
@LifeHackster 6 лет назад
There is no perfect WiFi camera at this time anyways and Ring has issues on their own...but what I want to get Nest to do is to acknowledge that delays built in their cameras...not just the Hello doorbell is an issue. They are looking at it again and even their forums has a lot of customers complaining..thanks to the videos and test that I have posted... So, it is up to them now if they are going to fix it or not. We will see. BTW, you do get an incentive in referring family with Ring...it is on their app "Invite Friends" You can get $10 dollar per referral.

@darrensargent960
@darrensargent960 6 лет назад
No idea which you'll decide to keep, as both have pros and cons. I think the one-way audio recording can and will be fixed by Nest. The Nest app also gives a lot of options and flexibility as it related to notifications and camera settings (like you showed with your night vision section.) The lower subscription cost of the Ring is definitely attractive, but the additional storage duration is not nearly as useful as the 24/7 cloud recording of Nest. I have found motion detection (on both Nest and Ring in addition to numerous other camera brands) to be not terribly reliable for capturing a full sequence of events. As someone stated below, it tends to start late, or be not recorded at all. I'd much rather have the 24/7 recording for ten or thirty days than the spotty motion recording for sixty or ninety.
@LifeHackster
@LifeHackster 6 лет назад
Yes, they have their pros and cons...I still not able to decide...Ring Pro and their wired cameras...not the battery powered ones are pretty spot on when recording motion...it records the first 3 seconds before the motion is detected so you will usually get the subject just getting into the frame... I like the 24/7 recording too... thanks for your input...
@AD-1138
@AD-1138 6 лет назад
Is 2 dollars really that much more attractive? Honest question here as it is your money after all. I can understand if the price per month was in the tens but for 2 more dollars per month, for what the Nest offers, is well worth it, in my honest opinion.

I’m having problems with the ring 2 doorbell my motion detector isn’t picking up well. It works well during the day but at night it doesn’t pick up well what could this issue be. Sometimes it’s also a delay I have the chime too and there’s nothing wrong with my WiFi I have motion set up to 20 feet and smart alert to standard any help?

You might need to change the smart alerts to frequent and also play with the settings on the motion zones. If the problem persists, contact Ring and they will trouble shoot it for you.

The seemingly limited vertical angle field of view that cut off faces when standing close to the doorbell .. is that an issue or just how you recorded/viewed the footage?
@LifeHackster
@LifeHackster 5 лет назад
This is with the Ring Pro because of the aspect ratio 16:9 and Nest Hello is better on this 4:3 and you will be able to see more vertical that with the Ring Pro.

@LifeHackster

I currently have the Nest Hello in my front door. The notification has improved since their December update (still delayed though but less than 10 secs.) and the only thing why it is still in my front door because when integrated with the good hub, it will show the camera's view almost instantaneously when the doorbell is pressed..so you can respond way quicker. With Ring, you still need to tell Alexa to show the camera plus the loading time.

I just replaced my Ring with the Nest Hello and I really like the 24/7 recording, it seemed that my ring would sometimes start recording too late and end too early. I have the same issue as you with the delay on ringing with the nest, it’s like 7-8 seconds (but I did JUST install it so I hope that gets better). I assume you’re keeping the nest.. the app seems to be better overall and I think it has more potential, it’s only been on the market 1 week and the software is already really good. I also have an issue with my camera going offline when I max out the video quality and I have a fiber 1000mbps up/1000 mbps down connection and my WiFi router is only 20 feet from the doorbell with no interference... hopefully they can fix that issue.

Excellent review, LifeHackster, two thumbs up. So many people like the Nest's 24/7 recording, however, its continuous uploading to the Nest Cloud will affect the performance of other devices in the house especially VoIP. Ring Pro's motion detection is very effective which makes 24/7 recording unnecessary.
@LifeHackster

I agree. Just imagine you have 7-8 Nest camera constantly streaming.. it will definitely affect your WiFi speed and will cause connection problems with your other WiFi devices at home like your TV streaming (Netflix, Hulu etc.) .

Hello LifeHackster, My guess is you will keep the Ring Doorbell instead. I had purchased the Ring Doorbell 2 , but did not keep it as there was motion recording issues/delays which is common on battery run Ring devices. With your Nest Hello vs Ring Doorbell comparison video, I would not bother with Nest Hello even if they gifted it considering their audio/microphone issues is the same one as the outdoor camera. In my case, I decided to use a Ring Wired Device and placed it to cover front door entrance from a bird's eye view position which allows me to get a good view of all action and speak to anyone who approaches the front door in an free flowing manner. . I am surprised that the Nest Hello has the same sound/microphone issue as the Nest Outdoor camera which definitely their engineers dropped the ball big time. Keep up the great work as your videos are spot on informative! You rock!!! :)
@LifeHackster
@LifeHackster 6 лет назад
Actually, the 2 way communication on the Nest Hello is way better than the outdoor cam... it is conference type not the push to talk like the outdoor cam and it is better..louder than the Ring's... My only issue is the recording part... it only records the audio from the camera's mic and not person on the phone side... This can be easily fixed by Nest through a firmware update.. Thank You..
@footballer3524
@footballer3524 6 лет назад
LifeHackster it still only records the voice of rhe person being recorded, right?

@LifeHackster 6 лет назад

@footballer3524
@footballer3524 6 лет назад
LifeHackster and that is a big time flaw. Let's say you have a robber trying to break in your house. You warn the thief to leave, but that does not happen. In a NRA friendly state, the next thing is the owner comes out and shoots the thief. Now in court, homeowner can't prove he just went trigger happy on the robber.
@LifeHackster
@LifeHackster 6 лет назад
Good example there..Yup, the recording needs to be 2 way.. I think other cameras are not doing it because of the extra data of the audio that needs to be included on the footage...

Since you threw us a curve at the end, I am guessing you are keeping the Nest doorbell. Thank you for the evaluation of these two video doorbells. Since Ring is now owned by Amazon, there should be no limit to the software updates to improve the Ring doorbell!! "Alexa" can run my Honeywell thermostat, my Rachio irrigation controller, and I expect in the near future "she" will be able to run my Ring doorbell. If I could answer the doorbell, without having my phone in my hand, through the Alexa app that would be a winner.

Nest Hello resolution is not 1080p, it's 1600x1200. While technically lower than Ring Pro's 1920x1080, it's 4:3 aspect ratio lets you see more vertically. I don't think it matters all that much overall, but 16:9 vs 4:3 might be worth considering when purchasing. Did you test the delay of motion notifications on the Nest Hello with Nest Aware's Person notification or Motion notification?
@LifeHackster
@LifeHackster 6 лет назад
Yes..I just realized that it is not 1080p ..thanks for pointing that out... and yes there is a delay in motion notification as compared to Ring's which is almost in real time...Nest has a delay of around 10 secs...
@curtisbme
@curtisbme 6 лет назад
Calling Ring 1080p might be technically correct but the hardware, codec, and or compression make is lower quality than a 480p camera from 15 years ago. Regular giant macro-blocks, noise and often stutters and freezing. It is inconsistent as hell which is part hardware and majority servers. Lots of folks on reddit that report same issues around the same times. And the wide video format means a significant amount of the frame is wasted for me. Once Nest gets initial release bugs worked out I'm likely dropping the Ring. I've never seen a Ring work better than in these videos. It can work like this for a bit then you just will stop getting motion notifications or it will be randomly disconnected and come back without rhyme or reason.
@MarcusBrannon
@MarcusBrannon 6 лет назад
I was just quoting the spec sheet for the Ring because I don't have any first hand experience with it. I have the Hello, and I can tell you that it can also suffer from loss of details from compression. At first, it can look sharp and it is for anything close to the camera.. which is fine, as it's of course a doorbell camera and people will be close to it. In my first week, I actually caught someone trying to break into my neighbor's car door, but because of compression (I'm using highest quality, btw) it was very hard to make out any identifying details because they were lost in compression unfortunately. The biggest feature the Nest has over the Ring is HDR. I have the original Nest outdoor cam and the difference is clear that HDR is better at showing details in shadow and highlights. It's fantastic and a must have for any new camera.

@courtneyo5140
@courtneyo5140 6 лет назад
The lack of motion detection, I believe, is because it recognizes you as a familiar person and in order to prevent “flutter notifications”, it has a cool down mode before it will notify you again, after seeing someone familiar. I believe the cool down mode is not as long if the face is unfamiliar
@LifeHackster
@LifeHackster 6 лет назад
It is because of the facial recognition feature which it has its own notification parameters. If you turn it off, or if you have Nest's indoor cam and outdoor cam (not the IQ), then the long cool off is apparent.

Great Review LifeHackster!! I have 5 CCTV cameras with night vision on my home, including an overhead camera at my front door. So, I really don't need to have 247 coverage, as I already have this! It would appear that the Nest has very little time lag between when the button is pressed and when the doorbell rings. Let's take having subscription off the table; it it much cheaper than a monthly subscription to an alarm monitoring company. I would like your opinion, as well as your subscribers, which one of the two they would recommend to me? Given what I've mentioned. Thanks in advance. ...Rod PS. My home alarm has an app that sends me 247 notification for everything relating to accessing my home, and can be armed or disarmed via smartphone.
@LifeHackster
@LifeHackster 6 лет назад
I would go with the Ring doorbell pro...and just use it as a doorbell with live notification (no subscription)...Nest Hello has issues with delayed motion alert notification and long cool down periods... In my case UPS/FedEx/USPS guys just leave the package anyways and only a percentage rings the doorbell...So, instant notifications and 1 minute cool off period are important to me... Also, nest states that you need to be subscribed to their Nest Aware to access advanced motion detection and zoning...so, for motion alerts, live view, mediocre 2 way communication(I barely use)..I'll go with the Ring Pro. - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-cGckpB0HHc8.html

What happens if the bell has to face towards the street and sidewalk in front of your house? (no porch). Would I keep getting false positive when people walk by or a car drives past? I don't think there would be a way of setting a detection zone with would either give me false positive or not ring when it's supposed to.
@LifeHackster
@LifeHackster 5 лет назад
If you cannot set a detection zone in the area before the side walk, then it would be hard for motion detection to work effectively and without false notifications..you can just turn it off and use it as a doorbell..meaning notify you only when somebody pushes the doorbell.
