Does it need a subscription?

Live view and basic alerts work without one. Recording and reviewing past clips requires a Nest Aware plan.

It runs on a rechargeable battery, so no doorbell wiring is needed. The battery is removed to charge.

Does it work with Alexa?

Yes. It supports Amazon Alexa as well as Google Assistant, so you can view the feed on compatible smart displays.

Not on battery power. Continuous recording is only available when the doorbell is wired.

It can work with a wired chime, but that usually needs extra setup or a compatible transformer.
