Buying call

The battery Nest Doorbell uses on-device processing to tell people, packages, animals and vehicles apart, and includes three hours of free event history. Its tall 3:4 video frame shows visitors head to toe, and it runs on battery or wired power. Reviewers praised the smarts; the video is lower resolution than rivals and cold weather hurts battery life.
