Google launches video doorbell with facial recognition in UK

Google's facial recognition video doorbell, the Nest Hello, is launching in the UK to challenge Amazon's Ring. Initially released in the US in March, Nest Hello is the first of Google's new home security product lineup to make it to the UK, ahead of its Nest Secure alarm system. Nest Hello is a £229 wifi-connected smart doorbell with a wide-angle camera that captures high definition HDR video with night vision after dusk. It will send alerts with pictures from the camera to users' phones and allows them to talk to visitors through the doorbell from anywhere with an internet connection. Users can also opt to have the doorbell say one of three quick phrases, such as "we'll be right there".
