Easy Nest Hello Installation Video (2020) | Doorbell Unboxing and Installing Tutorial!

[@michaellair6691]

I have been in the security alarm industry for over 20 years. As a professional I would make absolutely sure everyone understands they need power down the doorbell before doing ANYTHING. If it had power and you touched the wires together while installing the Nest it would have shorted out the transformer in the attic and it would no longer work. Trust me attics are no fun. I came to your tutorial because ADT is switching from RING to the Google Nest Doorbell. I've installed hundreds of doorbell cameras but not the nest. Good job I enjoyed the video. Only criticism there are Boomers out there who don't know how to navigate the app. Yes I know I'm a Boomer my self and trust me I know where you guys are coming from on Boomers.

[@seanlovesrealestate]

Yes, great point! We did end up switching out the transformer because the old one didn't have enough voltage to power the doorbell as well as the chime so be aware of that!

[@seanlovesrealestate]

For my second home, I ended up installing the Arlo doorbell because it's battery powered. No wires necessary

[@justlooking4771]

@@seanlovesrealestate I think that's MY issue on my Nest Hello. Great video! Off to Home Depot to get a new transformer!

[@SynteconlineAuSupplements]

We ended up exchanging this model for the slimmer version kzbin.infoUgkx0jZ_lGlDVJhDnmagEU8gn47cmfPNlLQU because it was too wide for the only door trim area that made sense to mount it on. However, we should have just noted the dimensions prior to purchasing. Otherwise, we love the doorbell. It works perfectly, and the video is very clear, even at night.

[@seanlovesrealestate]

Thanks for watching!

[@Maxaldojo]

Nice job, Sean! Helped me through it.

[@guillermomendez2241]

Do you have to install that part to the chime? Why is that part needed?

[@gabrielvaldezr]

i have the same question. Can you not simply install the bell without the chime and just get notifications on your phone and google home minis?

[@seanlovesrealestate]

What are your thoughts about the Google Nest Hello doorbell?

[@Muzzi.]

Thanks buddy! You’re a lifesaver. Just installed mine

[@seanlovesrealestate]

That's great! Two things I left out of this video. 1) Make sure your doorbell transformer has the right voltage to power your device and 2) sign up for Nest Aware. It costs around 12/month, but it allows you to actually use your Nest Hello as a camera!

[@imcryptonaire]

Reason I watched this video is because you've positioned the doorbell very low. I wanted to see how it'll be when someone rings the doorbell and what you'll see. Do you have any pictures/videos from that?

[@seanlovesrealestate]

Not sure how I can show the doorbell view, but it looks good. The camera has a fish eye lense so it has a really wide angle. You can easily see who's been on your doorstep

[@serious.business]

All you see: 🍆

[@michaellair6691]

I'm a professional ADT security alarm installer. The camera has what is called a fisheye lens. It doesn't matter of the height, lens is almost a 360 degree lens. I will say it does take some getting use to the lens but it will capture everything no matter how tall or short.

[@nakeawhittington8919]

Do you any extra doorbell

Can you not simply install the bell without the chime and just get notifications on your phone and google home minis?

[@mosurz1296]

Did you have to change transformer in order for it to work?

[@seanlovesrealestate]

Yes I did! It was a pain to find it too

[@kpsher367]

Can you do a test on how easy Nest Door Bell would come off the wall if someone were to steal it?

[@damonreliga3129]

What about patching where your old door bell is? Should that of been done first?

[@seanlovesrealestate]

The hole was small enough that I didn't need to. It doesn't show :)

[@mariosilva3530]

Very nice..!!

[@seanlovesrealestate]

Thanks! It was one of my first DIY projects and I'm glad I didn't burn the house down :)

[@jodycampbell3970]

It would be great if you could position the camera so you are not standing in front of it so often as then it is not possible to see what you are doing.

[@rolandburt2856]

Nice job

[@MariaRodriguez-to2rz]

I only have a doorbell that doesn’t work. I dont see the chime for it? So can I buy one separate like the Door Ring has and plug it on a power outlet?

[@seanlovesrealestate]

Do the wires coming out of the wall provide 15 volts of power? If not, you'll probably need to get one powered by battery like the Ring.

[@MariaRodriguez-to2rz]

@@seanlovesrealestate Just check and nope it was a battery one, but I saw in another video call that they bought a adapter and connected to the nest camera.

[@GurmeetSingh-fr8uo]

Hi - using the Google app, I’m not sure how to give them access to the nest google doorbell. I only see option to ‘invite home member’. But that gives them permissions to add and remove people. This is something I would not want. Any idea what else I can try?

[@seanlovesrealestate]

To be honest, I'm not sure. You're not able to add people from the Nest app directly and need to add them through Google Home. But when you do, they get full access to the device. Keep me updated if you find a solution!

[@deepfault]

Great tutorial and very detailed. Really helped with the installation. Thanks, man!

[@seanlovesrealestate]

Glad it helped!

[@Gowaz89]

would be interesting to check the whole view of the camera at that height

[@seanlovesrealestate]

It's a wide-angle lens so it sees everything, especially when people are walking up to your door.

[@marilynjacob3413]

@@seanlovesrealestate My old doorbell is also at the level of the lock so I've been trying to figure out how to bring the wires up (doorbell is mounted on the white casing of the door frame). There are two steps to come up to the door so I was wondering if you were able to see the person standing when they are at the front? It would save me the time of moving the doorbells current spot!

[@seanlovesrealestate]

@@marilynjacob3413 I don't have any issues seeing them, but you also get a pretty good shot of their face as they walk up the steps too.

[@kpdiallo1111]

What about minimum low voltage? What’s that supposed to be??

[@seanlovesrealestate]

Great question! I believe it's supposed to be 15V. I had to upgrade my doorbell transformer to fully support this doorbell. If the voltage is too low then the camera will lag and the doorbell chime won't activate!

[@alexveloz3586]

I purchased one about 3-4 years ago and it already stopped working. It's not worth paying $180-$200 for new doorbells every 3-4 years (not including the installation fee if any).

[@harrystleger4839]

What about the wedge? Every installation video has neglected the wedge.

[@Discotex100]

Not bad.

[@seanlovesrealestate]

🔥🔥🔥

[@phiakate]

So does this need an existing wired doorbell to work?

[@seanlovesrealestate]

Yes, this doorbell requires an external power supply. There are other smart doorbells that are battery powered that don't need wires. Hope that helps!

[@phiakate]

@@seanlovesrealestate 🙏 thank you.

[@mahmoodkhan6623]

hi Sean, i have 2 tiny wires attached to each screw in the chime box. is it compatible with the google nest hello doorbell?

[@seanlovesrealestate]

Yes, but you have to make sure your transformer is strong enough to activate the doorbell and the chime when someone presses your doorbell.

[@cynthiaricee6602]

I am building a new house, never had a doorbell, can I just run a wire throughout the walls to the door to power the nest hello❓

[@seanlovesrealestate]

Hi Cynthia! No, you can't run a normal wire to the doorbell, otherwise it'll fry the device. It needs to go through a transformer first to drop the voltage down to 25V. Best of luck!

[@cynthiaricee6602]

@@seanlovesrealestate thank you

[@JOKER71791]

Is the the doorbell still lagging?

[@seanlovesrealestate]

Nope! You need to update the transformer to 25 v!

To be clear, this is the wired version. Not the battery operated version.

[@seanlovesrealestate]

Yes, this one is wired

[@HappyHopping11]

for people who wants to know what functions this doorbell has, where is the manual that shows all the functions on the cellular phone applications?

You can download the app to see what functions it has :)

@@seanlovesrealestate in the end, I don't think they have the function to program a schedule so that it only ring say 9 to 12 pm M to F.

[@georgeappleton5989]

Well done. Did you install the Shim later.

[@seanlovesrealestate]

Yes, I did! I also had to upgrade my doorbell transformer to a 25 V one.

[@abdulrashidlohar564]

Hi sir my door bell work on 230 voltage how can i connect this? By using low power adapter

[@seanlovesrealestate]

Doorbells aren't connected directly to your main power supply. There's a transformer that drops the voltage down. You'll need the transformer to be at least 25v for it to work correctly

[@joeturtleneck2300]

@@seanlovesrealestate 25 volts? 16 volts is what most transformers are

Google Nest Hello deurbel bij mij al met 2 jaar kapot en bij google support helpen ze je niet goed, klote support, veel te dure deurbel, niet aan beginnen, is ook vaak traag in reageren, en ja mijn wifi kast hangt er zowat boven, alles geprobeerd, doet nu dus niets meer...

[@bhavikpatel9815]

So u were still Able to use ur old chime right?

[@seanlovesrealestate]

Yes! One thing you need to know is that this device uses more power than a regular doorbell would. This means you might need to upgrade your doorbell transformer. We upgraded ours from 10V to 25V so now the doorbell chime works as well!

[@skunkbri]

No diode?

[@butopiatoo]

Well, better than the instructions that come with the wired doorbell, but still leaves a lot to be desired. Be methodical sir. Tells us to turn off the power to the chimes/doorbell FIRST not halfway through the video. And don't just flash screenshots out of the Nest setup app and expect us to understand the details of the steps of the process. What is the purpose of the white thingy your wired to the chimes? Does that communicate with the doorbell wirelessly to actuate the chimes? What voltage and amperage does the transformer have to be to safely power the doorbell without frying it? How do we determine that? Etc. Etc. Again, thanks for your efforts. At least i now know the gross steps I'm going to have to go through to install this darn thing.

[@user-ut2vk6vf5l]

I have had the google doorbell for years. I few years ago I bought a second Google camera and I always had Nest Aware. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER GOOGLE PRODUCT. They doubled the price of Nest Aware, there is no customer service. No body to call. My first Nest doorbell front face peeled so I bought another with no accountability from Google. They are well aware of this problem. I bought a second nest doorbell and it did the same. Why did they spray a clear coat on the face of a doorbell if they knew the clear coat peels?????? Why did they not rather just polish the plastic if they wanted it shiny??? Google is CRAP. RING is much better.

[@ShaneBurkle]

Do you think having some of the smart products installed on your rental properties helps you to fetch a higher rental price? Or is it just wasted money?

[@seanlovesrealestate]

On rentals, it's a waste of money. But it's really great to have on flip projects or for your own home!

[@fattyfatty4484]

I thought it was wireless I gatta bring it back fuk

[@seanlovesrealestate]

There are some wireless doorbells that use batteries. I think the Ring is one of them. They are bulkier though!

Worst installation video! it tells you to shot the power off in the middle of the video

[@seanlovesrealestate]

Well to be fair, the voltage coming into the doorbell is low voltage. But yes, in general, you should turn off the power before trying to install anything that connects to your home's electrical system.

[@FigmentAssembled]

@@seanlovesrealestate I'd say that turning the power off is Common Sense, but I also know what day in age we live in. For those of us who didn't allow Natural Selection to kick in, thanks for the video!
