You can export video clips from the Nest app for iOS and Android by selecting one in the timeline and tapping the New Clip button, which uploads the clip to your Nest account online and optionally saves it to your device's camera roll. Nest AwareA Nest Aware subscription is technically optional, and you get a 30 day trial. But if you choose not to subscribe, you lose the facial recognition feature, continuous recording and video history, close ups, customizable activity zones, and the ability to upload clips and create time lapses online. You'll still be able to see the live view and talk over the two way speaker, get motion and people alerts just without familiar faces being named, see snapshots of events from the past 3 hours and be notified when someone rings the bell. Nest Aware starts at $5/month or $50/year to keep a five day video history, plus up to 3 hours of stored clips. Higher tiers provide up to 30 days of video history. PerformanceThe Nest Hello's camera has a resolution of 1600 x 1200, and covers 160 degrees of view. It uses a 4:3 aspect ratio, for a squarer picture as opposed to some cameras' 16:9 wide screen view. The idea is that you'll be able to see packages on the ground in front of your door; but my whole doormat was out of view, so packages left there usually were, too. I found the picture clear and sharp — better than that of the Ring cameras, and with a larger field of view than the August Smart Doorbell Pro. The night vision, which engages automatically, also beats the Ring's.
