MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. – Google revealed its newest Nest Doorbell today. This doorbell recognizes faces. It helps homeowners identify visitors quickly. The device uses artificial intelligence. The technology matches faces against stored images. Users can build a database of familiar faces. Family members get labeled automatically. Friends can be added manually.

The doorbell sends instant alerts to phones. Notifications show the visitor’s name if recognized. Unknown faces trigger a different alert. The system learns over time. It improves accuracy with repeated sightings. Privacy controls let users delete data anytime. All processing happens locally. No images go to the cloud.

This model includes 24/7 HD video recording. Night vision works in darkness. Two-way audio allows conversations. The doorbell resists rain and snow. Installation is simple. It works with existing wiring. Battery-only operation is another option.

Google stressed security. The facial recognition feature is optional. Users can disable it. The doorbell still functions fully without it. Activity zones can be customized. Motion detection focuses on key areas.

The new Nest Doorbell costs $299. It will be available next month. Preorders start this week. Four color choices include matte black and snow.
