I’ve got the Nest one and absolutely love it! The package alert feature is surprisingly accurate and is convenient as hell!

I like this video, it highlights the security issues of the camera performance quality and how weak the physical security of the camera is, like ripping the camera off the door. Great video.

Really enjoy this guy's videos. Super engaging and fun content!

I own Ring 1 and Ring 2, as well as a few Ring Cameras. I may have to get the Nest DoorBell this time.

Would’ve been nice to see a notification delay test. How long it takes both a phone and smart display to respond.

What about speed, how quickly each notifies you of motion or a doorbell press?

haha - this is the most engaging comparison. loved the concept

It would also be nice to know if you did wire both doorbells do they respond faster when they have power.

Nest, Chris, and I did close my left eye.

The theft part made up my mind.. lol I’m going with the ring!

Great, so helpful - thank you!

Hi there how often does Ring update their ring doorbell cameras? I know that Ring released doorbell video 4. Thank you

I had Ring system for about 2 years, it needed the WiFi extender to connect to my home WiFi and was remarkably unreliable. Ring replaced it twice but nothing ever worked well and I finally removed and trashed the extender and 2 doorbells. Went to a Nest system, including Mesh extender, it's worked perfectly, but was expensive.

Theft Test was an insane!!!!!!!! idea. Thanks for this review. This test made me lean towards Ring. Irrespective of the kind of neighborhood one lives in, the theft test is a quick way to disable the doorbell by someone who has their face covered.

Hi, if I have an amazon eco does google nest works like the ring doorbell that when it rings you can hear it in the eco show that some are in the door?

no one mentions there is a key to lock the Nest Doorbell to the bracket screwed to the wall.

I bought and returned this. Other than the video quality not being great the two biggest issues were that it wasn't 3 hours worth of events storage (i.e. multiple 30 sec clips adding up to 3 hours), it is events stored for 3 hours before cleared which is a real issue if something happens at night and the clip is deleted before you get up. Secondly when you get a notification and click on it, I would get the message that the video is not ready for viewing and you have to wait a while until it's available.... totally unacceptable and can't believe Google released a product with these types of issues.

Google will replace your doorbell for free if it's stolen.

This is a good review. 👍

Dang I closed my eye and feel like a fool LOL

Question on google. It's 3 hours for free recording but idk what that means. Can you only see the most recent 3 hours? So if something happens at 1am when I'm asleep, does this mean that I can check footage at 7am when I wake up? Also, when I view the past 3 hours of footage, am I able to download the portion iof the needed footage (like 1 min of package delivery, not all 3 hours).

I'm a little disappointed with the delay for the porch pirate test, but as you said, it comes with the territory since it's not wired.

Might as well have a magnetic backing.

I own both doorbells and recommend the ring doorbell. I can tell you the image quality and notification time are way better when your doorbells are wired instead of using the batteries. But ring still wins for me.

Why wasn't the Arlo wireless doorbell included?

which one drains (phone app) more battery on your mobile phone.

Can the nest be wired? I live in a state where its cold af and i know the frigid cold will deplete the battery faster

Omg the Nest is wayyyy too easy to rip off! That blew me away, Wtf ):< Great review, guys!!!

Ring requires a subscription for most of the best features

why cant you use the ring adhesive on nest?

Did you use rapid ring app from ring

Would ease of battery replacement be a negative for the Ring? It may be harder to steal, but it would be useless if you can just take out the battery and kill it in a second. At least with the Nest it would continue to record until the battery would be removed.

Is there any Ring storage without subscription?

I had ring but it never really worked at all. It would film after a person leaves and is close to their car.

I own a ring doorbell and chime. It’s great to use , and the chime adds a nice touch as well. My only gripe which for me is significant to owning these types of devices is that u have to have a paid subscription to access the history. I know it’s cheap and affordable for most people but everything adds up. So I was wondering if any of u guys who reads this may know of another smart doorbell that doesn’t need a subscription to access the history or any other settings? Thanks 🙏🏻

Which one works with HomeKit?

I like my ring 4 but it's just a shame the camera quality is junk when zooming for the cost you'd think it would have a much better camera

Nest is better, I have one and my parents have the ring. Much prefer Google assistant, ease of install and quality on my nest better.

Thank you.

The only thing I like about the Nest Doorbell is the glowing button

So guys which one to buy I am looking to buy any rec let me know

Does nest replace the unit if a skeet manages to gaff it? Ring does.

Isnt there an option to back up the footage to google drive? I feel like that should be something Google should be doing. And then it can be auto deleted after 7 days or smth like that. And ig they could choose to keep this as an option so if you dont pay for google one you don't need to?

I often wonder what are the decisions/factors which limit creating a 'doorbell' camera that installs through an exisiting peephole/cat's eye/whatever it gets called as I live where extreme winter weather can regularly be -25C that I am skeptical of the outdoor installation being durable enough. I realise the house/building does radiant some abient heat but given the operating rate only to -20C it's still a concern .... I wouldn't mind having a doorbell ringer near the upper-middle of door like a door-knocker and would hope majority of the electronics could remain on the inner side of the door this way. I also wonder why there aren't yet other versions that could be add-on installation via deadbolt openings/fascias as alternate to exterior install so vital parts couod be on innerside of door for fewer parts directly exposed to elements of weather/climate. Especially seeing how some doorbell cameras are so easily yanked off (stealing it or just vandalising) as shown in the video of wireless battery ones, but perhaps wired ones could also be detached by malicious force ...

Do you recomend the Huawei Watch GT2 or the Huawei watch GT2 PRO?

I have the Nest doorbell and mine is impossible to rip of its mounting bracket. So I am not sure what you did to enable that to happen, but my guess is poor installation! Seriously suspect Theft test! I think your review is very misleading. Ring's WiFi quality was always terrible for me, now my Next performs extremely well.

the ring is just soo cheap looking and feeling. the nest looks and feel better to use. also if ur worried about ppl stealing ur nest, just build a frame to surround the nest so that the edges fit flush.

No mini level or drill bit in our kit!

Nest seems like it would be easy to add an anti-theft bracket onto the front. At least they would have to use a screwdriver or something to get it off

The $6 a month for Nest includes all of your other cameras. This isnt true for ring. Ring actually get more expensive than nest when you add one camera. Also rings geofencing doesnt really do anything than set a reminder for you to change modes MANUALLY. Im a ring house about to go all google.

What is preroll?

Ring has a waaaaaaaaaay wider view than the nest but for some reason I still went with nest...

I just sow this video and this guys is so funny even he looks a little weird, just want to let you know I close my right eye when he asked after he said “you look bad “ I felt so stupid! Ha ha ha because I did it! 😊 thanks!

I’m not a Ring fan, but even I can see the night test is not an accurate comparison. 4:12 clearly shows the wall to the left which reflects a lot of the infrared light making the figure harder to see. The Nest would do the same (as would all cameras with night vision) if it was in the same spot.

Yep, closed my eye, even after I read a comment on it. 😉

Chris, for sure.

Ever since ring was hacked, I don’t trust ring products

Wow neither one is good , I don’t see weighing in cost of products, and service fee . Nest could be stolen but has good pictures, ring harder to steal , poor pictures. So where is the product that we can use ?

Definitely missed the biggest difference between the 2 that’s the 24/7 recording with nest any event longer than two minutes will be missed by the ring because it only records clips up to two minutes

Yes, yes I did close me eyes.

Buy The Doorbell Boa, your doorbell device is guaranteed to still be there in the morning.

Closed eye.(I am gullible) Ring is the winner due to the mounting. (I am a professional installer) 💥 Both are almost equal in practical use.

pls add a review for Amazon vs Google security camera, It would be better if you could include display response on the nest hub/echo show

Nest is useless on iPhones ….on an iPhone the alert sound is so quiet that you end up missing them all, so if you have an iPhone go for the ring , it’s much louder on the iPhone and you can set notifications sounds. Such a shame because other than that the nest is really good

I don't like how easy it is to take the nest off the wall

They need 4K for better details.

The tick is for them not to see you the thieves that give them a false sense of they got a easy target when you're not

That pineapple mask is boss

3:50 why don’t they just test actually trying to read a license plate from a distance to see how it is

Why did I cover my left eye lol

Every single notification on my iPhone is slower than my s22 ultra e.g Gmail,youtube, text message card uses.

Chris. -Nest

That's not how I'd be installing my nest doorbell anyway

I would rather Google have a fix some sort of anti theft bracket you could buy for it rather than have to go through all the hassle 9f taking up police time to report a stolen doorbell

Brute fooooRRCEEE!!

THANKS, CNET! I BELIEVED I WILL CHOOSE THE RING BECAUSE OF ITS STRENGTH AND WILL NOT BE EASILY TAKEN BY FORCE. GOODBYE TO YOUR $200 DOLLARS NEST DOORBELL.

I was going to throw my google nest away because the notifications were garbage. That is until I turned on Visitor announcements. Now it will tell me through all my google speakers that someone is at the door! This is great because I live in an older house and there is some bad wiring for my wired doorbell so I had to go battery. Now it works great!

The speaker on the Nest doorbell is TERRIBLE, I'm returning mine today to try out the Ring video doorbell 4.

👍👍

Eufy has no subscription and seems to be on par with both of these in terms of features.

Save your money. Customer support for the Google doorbell is a nightmare. Get the ring instead

The new Nest cam is trash… about ten steps backwards compared to the previous wired version

Today I learned that I look foolish

so nest is easier to steal brute force, but you can remove the rings battery lol camera is still yours, capture is gone, seems like a toss up

Both awful. Now to break it to my Dad that he's getting neither for Christmas 😂

The google nest doorbell has been garbage for me so far. It makes me want to throw it away. Going to look into ring

Ring quality and responsivness is horribe. Ill take nest anyday.

That theft test was bogus. He used the side of the stair post as leverage to use with his thumbs to pry it off with his fingers. How many people actually put their doorbell on a stair post instead of by their front door where they can see people or porch pirates?

Why the brut had a Michigan hat on? Any subliminal message?!

More reliable notifications? You know the Nest has a ridiculous 5 minute cooldown period between notifications, right? It also resets every time it detects motion after the first notification. It's completely fail on so many levels. I'm not saying the Ring is better, but at least you won't miss something that happens right in front of your door with Ring.

Ring is the winner! If they can steal it that easy whats the purpose better yet use a Gun problem solved..Lol

Wants to look cool, shows up in a Prius 😂 Ring is the best, been with them since they started and love them. Great customer service 👍

To me the Ring doorbells are just ugly

4:28 Nest get a clear win? Am I the only one think ring get a better image quality than nest?

I looked foolish? 😳😳😳😔😔😔

you make me decide not to buy nest

I don't know why anyone would want to buy the nest after watching this. It is so easy to steal wth?

Sorry, if I can’t be sure the device is going to stay on my door I don’t want it. That’s AU$329 that disappears in 1 second

Sorry no points for nest as people can just walk away with it, and a lot more from your home
