Background and Identification

It is a smart doorbell with a camera that has the ability of facial recognition to offer security for people’s homes and gives the connection of door to phone with the ease of an app. The Nest hello is sold for $229 and is wired to your house’s doorbell system to replace it. The main complaint of the device is that it is being stolen from people's homes.
The nest hello is an 11.7 cm long oval with a black face and white back side, on the front side at the top of the device is its camera that gives it a 160° field of view. Beneath the camera in the middle of it is a microphone and below that are the word, “Nest” printed on the device in white. At the bottom of it is a white circle filled in with black which is the button on the device.
