Nest Hello Questions
I have two questions about the Nest Hello. First one is if I have two of them can I share the familiar faces or does each camera have to create its own list of familiar faces? Second is I have the first gen Nest Hello and I was wondering if they will get doorbell themes all year that you can change like the newer version does?

Unsure on the first question as I only have the Hello with familiar faces, so not sure if they share between camera.
I have the first gen Hello and I get holiday and Hallowe’en themes. There may be more, but those are the ones I mainly pay attention too.
For the first question I will be installing a second hello at my back door and wasn’t sure if the familiar faces list was per camera or per account. I know about the seasonal themes but I read somewhere here on Reddit that the new version of the hello has themes all year long not just during the holidays.
Cool on the themes, hadn’t heard that. I’d be fine rocking the Hallowe’en stuff all year. 😆
The familiar faces option is available both in the main Nest settings and in the camera itself, so unfortunately that won’t narrow it down for us.
I don’t think you get the spooky sounds or holiday sounds all year. The video I saw looks like you get a couple different standard doorbell sounds and one that is a party theme.
Options outside the basic bell is nice. Did a quick search to settle my curiosity, Google states multiple cameras share the same FF library, so subsequent cameras do not need to be taught as much. Need Aware on all cameras that will be using if you’re still on a per camera plan, but after 2-3 cameras it basically not worth it to stick on the old plans unless you really need the >10 days 24/7 history.
