Know who's at your door

Nest Hello can send an alert when someone presses the doorbell or when it detects a person, motion or sound. Alerts on your phone will include a picture of what happened so that you can quickly see what's going on.

24/7 streaming

Check the live stream at any time and view a 3-hour snapshot history to see what you've missed.

HD Talk and listen

Using the Nest app, you can hear your visitors loud and clear, and have a conversation. Or use quick responses – in the app, you can choose from a list of pre-recorded responses that will be spoken by Nest Hello to give visitors a quick answer.

Visitor Announcements with Google Home

Nest Hello can let you know that there's someone at your door on your Google Home devices.

HD video, day or night

Using HDR and Night Vision, Nest Hello delivers bright, crisp images, day or night. And it shows you the big picture – you can see people head to toe or parcels on the ground.

At 1600 x 1200, Nest Hello requires 800 to 2,000 Kbps of upload bandwidth while streaming video. Nest Hello will use more bandwidth to stream video when there is more movement in a scene.

If you subscribe to Nest Aware, your Nest Hello will stream all video to the cloud for secure off-site storage. At 1600 x 1200, each Nest Hello could use 150 GB to 600 GB of upload bandwidth per month, depending on the video quality setting.
