HOW DOES GOOGLE’S NEST HELLO DOORBELL WORK?

Price – Google’s Nest Hello doorbell is now on sale in Europe and the US.

It costs £229 in the UK, $229 in the US and €279 across most of Europe.

Some features, like facial recognition, require a subscription to Nest Aware, which starts at £4 (€5) a month, or £40 (€50) for the year.

Facial recognition  – The standout feature of the smart doorbell is that it uses facial recognition technology that allows it to identify and greet visitors. 

The system does not use any data from Google’s vast database of photos to automatically recognise people.

Instead, users must manually tag and name someone in the companion app before the device is able to recognise them.

Notifications – It then sends you a voice or text notification so you know who is outside. 

If you’re not at home, Nest Hello lets you see and talk to visitors using the microphone in your smartphone.

Security – It can also double up as a security camera to tell you if strangers are lurking nearby. 

The device connects to Wi-Fi and records around the clock using a wide-angle, high definition camera with night-vision and HDR (High Dynamic Range) capabilities.
