    Stoner, why are you switching Ring for a Nest hello?


    Well I've the first ring doorbell.

    When I call the live view it's slow to connect about 50 percent of the time.

    Turns out I use the Camera more than I need it as a doorbell.

    I popped a nest external camera beside it and I love it.

    During the snow the bell push on the ring became jammed and it rang constantly.

    I also just like this stuff and want to try the Google one.

    It’s a serious question, prople in apartments have intercoms and many other people don’t get unannounced visitors. When our kids friends call over they just knock on the window. Same with our friends.
    Ring or hello simply doesn’t solve any problem.

    Maybe it’s cause we have had babies in the house for the past 8.5 years

    Yes, I think devices like the Ring Floodlight Camera is more useful for most people then the doorbell cameras. I'm surprised there aren't more of them. They are an obvious security enhancement.

    I'm also surprised no one has developed a simple cameraless doorbell to go with the floodlight style cameras. Doorbell press rings the bell and sends you a notification with footage from the floodlight camera.

    Yup, that is me, live in an apartment, no doorbell. It is why I've found these doorbell cameras very interesting and can see their use for some people, but haven't gotten one myself. No need.

    You can get a peephole camera now for solid wood doors. Looks exactly like a traditional peephole from the outside but is motion activated and records. They’re only about $30 for the camera and screen (4”)

    Same... When our son was born I disconnected our bell, didn't miss it. Anyone calling would always text ahead.

    Yes, I saw one of those from Yale in Maplins. A neat idea. But I'm not really sure what it gives you over just looking through a traditional peephole. I suppose easier to view if you had bad eyesite, etc. I most investigate them further.

    BTW I watched a youtube video where a guy reviewed the Nest Outdoor Camera versus the Ring Floodlight Camera.

    Interestingly the Nest Outdoor camera had better picture quality at night in it's black and white mode, then the Ring Floodlight camera using it's floodlight.

    However that brings up a bit of a philosophical question. While the Nest gives better picture quality, the floodlight of the Ring suddenly turning on at the detection of movement might scare a potential burglar away.

    Hi folks,
    Picked up the attached Bell transformer today. It's 24v but not sure if it's 10va.. Is the 10va part important?

    Nothing there to Indicate current requirements.

    I'm 99 percent you'll be fine 10 VA os10 voltage amps so using 24 volts is good

    Nothing at all. I was surprised at this. Box on front had address pal label stating nest hello and value usd of 229. Postman left with neighbours.. I'm sure they would have said if money was asked of them
