Following the lead of Ring with its video doorbell, Nest Hello notifies you when a guest is at the door via your mobile phone, even when you are not at home. And if you’re not available, a list of pre-recorded responses makes it easy to quickly and effortlessly answer visitors with one tap from the app.

Nest’s video doorbell can also let you know there’s someone at your door on your Google Assistant-enabled speaker. And with a Nest Aware subscription, you can get personalised alerts based on who is at the door, such as whether it’s a family member or the next-door neighbour. This is thanks to Familiar Face alert’s face recognition technology. With a subscription you also get continuous cloud video storage to record whoever comes to the door.app_UK_Hello_Pixel_2_callscreen-PortraitSays Lionel Guicherd-Callin, head of EMEA Product Marketing for Nest Labs:

“Your front door is where home begins. It’s the entryway to special moments with family and friends – but also the most common way burglars enter your home so we’ve designed a doorbell experience that makes your front door more safe and secure, yet still feels friendly.”

“You can truly connect with your guests at the door from anywhere. Never miss a package. And have added security and peace of mind when it’s needed.”

Nest Hello is available to order today for £229 including VAT from www.nest.com/uk. It will also also be available from UK partners including John Lewis, Argos, Currys PC World starting mid-June.

It is also available with  installation on Nest.com for £329 including VAT.
