Is Google Doorbell Worth It
Is Google Doorbell Worth The Money?
Today’s post is all about my Google Doorbell and whether or not I think Google Doorbell is worth it. Before I go any further I have done two YouTube reviews on the Google Doorbell. The first was my Under 60 Seconds Google Doorbell Review. The second was My Honest Google Doorbell Review, which was a more in depth review of the Google Doorbell. Something that I didn’t mention in this review was that I have an Apple IOS system and so it may be a little different for those of you who have Android.
Ease Of Setting Up The Google Doorbell
As most people do before attempting to install anything they will normally Google it. I found getting started with the Nest Doorbell site the most useful. My Nest Doorbell synched seamlessly with my Google Home and its installation was a breeze. I had it up and running in no time.
Can Your Google Nest Doorbell Be Hooked Up To Your Existing Wired Doorbell?
The answer to this is Yes, but you need to check first as to whether it is compatible or not. I found this video very helpful. As it turns out my Google Doorbell was compatible and it works a treat. Why would you want your Battery doorbell connected to an existing wired doorbell? Well, I found some of my rooms were out of earshot of my Google Home unless I had it on full volume which I didn’t want. In those cases the original doorbell would always notify me.
Also, and more importantly, having it wired to the existing doorbell seems to supply power to the doorbell so I haven’t needed to charge the battery.
Google Doorbell Video Quality
As for the video quality I found it to be excellent. You can see the quality for yourself in my My Honest Google Doorbell Review. When my daughter and granddaughter rang the doorbell I was able to have a chat with them from mums and it was crystal clear.
Facial Recognition?
Although I don’t have facial recognition it’s only because I haven’t subscribed to it, a subscription of around $12 will fix that.
With Nest Aware, you can use familiar face detection1 to teach your Google Nest camera to recognize faces of people that you know, and notify you when it detects people it doesn’t recognize. Over time, facial recognition becomes more accurate at determining familiar faces and can send you more helpful alerts.
You can also manage your familiar faces library in the app, like change a person’s name or delete a face profile.
All in all I am more than happy with my Google Doorbell. You can get yours from Amazon if you’re in the market for a good video doorbell.
