    Hi folks,

    I'm looking for some advice/opinions on a video doorbell compatible with Google Home and the Nest Hub.

    When someone presses the bell, it chimes and the video appears on the Google Nest Hub display is all I'm looking for really.

    Ideally no subscription or something that would eat into my data, as I'm with Imagine and they throttle you if the usage soars.

    Thanks in advance!
    Nalz.

    It requires a subscription

    Not for real time viewing or basic notifications which I think showing on the Nest Hub is

    It doesn’t. Only for history and the like. Live viewing doesn’t as Clareman said

    Ok great thanks. Is there a cheaper alternative? I'm happy to pay the price of the Google bell but if there's just as good for less out there that would be even better!

    Getting something as good for less would be a problem, all the Google stuff just works together seamlessly, I don't know how else to describe it, it just works.

    Don't buy a Ring, it integrates with Amazon Alexa but not with Google home or Android TV.

    I'm on unlimited SIRO so bandwidth is never an issue or concern for me, I've the Nest Hello and Nest Hub Max. Just looking at my usage for the past 30 days on Google Wifi, my Nest Hello has uploaded 117GB and my Hub Max has uploaded 112GB, I don't have audio recording on the Max so I assume that's the 5GB difference, but as a guesstimate I would say that they upload about 4GB a day, that's at top quality level, dropping down the level I'd say it'd be less than 1GB a day, don't know how that fits in for your Imagine usage levels. I think both hook up to the Google servers to share data so even though they are on the same network it'll still mean you are using internet bandwidth.
