Why I'm Not Buying a Nest Hello Video Doorbell for my Smart Home (yet...)
The Nest Hello has some great features but also a game-changing shortcoming... ✅ Buy a Nest Hello Smart Video Doorbell: https://geni.us/NestHello 💥 WATCH - How To Install with No Chime: https://youtu.be/ORhUadv2H2Q ⭐ My Referral Links ⭐ 🏎️ Schedule a FREE test drive or order Tesla Products: https://geni.us/SoN-TESLA 💡 Split £100 with me when you switch to 🐙 Octopus Energy: https://geni.us/SoN-OctopusEnergy 🧋 Get £10 off at Huel: https://geni.us/SoN-Huel 🎸 Buy musical instruments, audio & PA gear from Thomann: https://geni.us/SoN-Thomann 🌍 My KIT profile: https://kit.co/paulfp (Commissions/credits are earned from these links, which helps support me and the channel.) The Nest Hello smart doorbell looks great! A well-connected doorbell that makes use of your home network and can use Google Home devices on the same WiFi network as its chime, meaning the range isn’t restricted to receivers close enough to the doorbell itself - ideal for larger houses or when you want a receiver at the bottom of your garden (if you have WiFi down there, of course...). It also features a Nest Camera of course, meaning you can view a live video feed on your smartphone, tablet or Google Home Hub and speak to the caller at your door. Unfortunately though, there's no such official product as a "Nest Hello Power Supply", which means it's hard to install Nest Hello without existing doorbell - unless you can be sure that the power supply or transformer you're buying meets the requirements exactly. So if you don't have a wired doorbell (like I don't), then you need to install Nest Hello without chime. That's OK, because I have 3 Google Home devices around my house, but I'd still need a Nest Hello transformer and cables long enough to stretch from my front door to the nearest power socket inside my porch. If you search Google for something like "install nest hello without existing doorbell" or "nest hello transformer uk" then you'll find discussion and some unofficial transformers, but it would be really great if Nest could sell a version with a mains adapter included in the box. Secondly, as I have 3x mains-powered Nest Protect smoke & carbon monoxide alarms, it would be great if those could ring as well as the Google Home Mini! 00:00 What is the Nest Hello? 00:58 2 key problems with the Nest Hello 01:13 Nest Hello requires wired connection 02:19 It doesn't come with a transformer or power adapter 03:00 Nest Hello sadly can't use Nest Protect as extra chimes 03:44 Nest Hello is very easy to steal with just a paperclip #Nest #NestHello #smarthome FOLLOW US: Twitter: https://twitter.com/SwitchedOnNet // https://twitter.com/paulfp Instagram: https://instagram.com/SwitchedOnNetwork // https://instagram.com/paulfp Facebook: https://facebook.com/SwitchedOnNetwork // https://facebook.com/paulfp ► Support on PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/SwitchedOnNetwork ► Browse our MERCH: https://teespring.com/stores/switchedonnetwork ► Explore our GEAR: https://kit.co/paulfp Check out our Amazon Influencer shops! ► UK: https://www.amazon.co.uk/shop/switchedonnetwork ► USA: https://www.amazon.com/shop/switchedonnetwork We sometimes use free sound effects in our videos from http://www.freesfx.co.uk Stock video clips are (usually) from VideoBlocks, now called Storyblocks Video.
