Planning on getting cameras and security system for our new single family home. Ring is much cheaper than Nest. Any suggestions on why would Nest be better than Ring?
In that category, there are different degrees of bad. Get an actual alarm system
Like ADT?
Yes
Don’t know how the security systems differ. (I use ADT fir that). In terms of camera, I went all in on Google after they added single pricing for Nest Aware unlimited cameras. The quality (especially outdoor cameras) is way better than ring equivalents. I even replaced my ring door bell and flood light cam to Google equivalents.
I use Google home devices, so I'd lean towards Google nest. I've heard they're better than Ring
No matter what, hardwire everything. WiFi is shit.
You mean hardwire internet? With LAN?
I have a big 4 story 3600 sqft house and I use eero pro mesh wifi across the home. I have a mix of Wyze and Ring cameras indoor and outdoor. Ring costs 5 times Wyze. It has never ever failed me. Wyze is cheap, no monthly costs, and shit. Its never able to find wifi when I need it. I’m waiting on the next amazon sale to replace all wyze with ring.

I am starting to think Chinese interviewers currently fail non-Chinese candidates on purpose.
Depends whether you have google or Alex assistant. There is no one size fit all. I used ring for alarm system, but later purchased google nest for variety of other smart devices. So wish now that I made the choice to use one entity from beginning so it’s all integrated
Why did you purchase nest for some devices ? Was ring not offering the same? Can you give an example?
I purchased ring when I bought my home. I didn’t do proper research at that time. I later ended-up with nest for thermostat, smoke detector, google nest audio, etc. Also, I have YouTube subscription for video and audio. So for me google products work overall. My garage door opener is from thirst party like “Aladdin” and it works with google
