Common questions about Nest Hello installation

• Where will the video cover? Could someone steal it without being seen?

The Nest Hello doorbell has a 160-degree field of view, so it can see a wide area around your front door. It’s also weatherproof, so it can withstand the elements. If someone tries to steal the Nest Hello doorbell, they’ll be alerted by the built-in motion sensor and the sound of the doorbell.

• Is a smart doorbell a good investment?

A smart doorbell is a great way to keep your home safe and secure. It can help you see who’s at your door, even when you’re not home. It can also record video of any suspicious activity, which can be helpful if you need to report a crime.

The installation time will vary depending on the specific circumstances of your home. However, most professional installers can install a Nest Hello doorbell in about an hour.
