Tough on bad guys. Easy on you.
The Nest Secure alarm system is easy to live with every day. Just tap Nest Tag on Nest Guard to arm and disarm the alarm - no passcode needed. Nest Detect sensors look out for doors, windows and rooms. And with the Nest app, you can keep an eye on what matters.
A: The Nest Secure system has an option called open tone. When Open Tone is enabled, and the alarm is set to Off , the Guard will sound a friendly tone when someone opens a door or window.
A: The Nest Secure system comes with two Nest Detects which can be placed on a door or window. The Nest Guard does have a motion sensor on the front, however you can choose to disable this within the settings.
A: The alarm will arm with or without a window/door open. The message light will be orange indicating a window or door is open and all other sensors will work. There is a setting to change so the system can go off instantly if you want it too. That'as a recent change, though.
A: The Nest Guard which is the main control for the Nest Secure system plugs into a normal outlet to be powered at all times and will need to be placed on a flat surface to get the most out of the motion sensor in the front of the Nest Guard. In case power is lost, it also has a 12 hour battery backup. More details about the Nest Secure can be found here: https://nest.com/support/article/Frequently-asked-questions-about-Nest-Secure
A: You can get notifications on your phone without having to pay for the subscription. The guard will chime when a door opens if the alarm is off but will announce the specific door/window if the guard is set to home & guarding or away and guarding.
A: You can try setting it to the lower detection mode - but with a 100 lb dog that may not be enough (it is designed for about 40lb dogs)
A: Professional Monitoring by MONI doesn't include Nest Aware Video History for cameras. These are two separate subscriptions, so you can add one or both to your setup depending on which products you own. For customers that use both Nest Secure and Nest cameras, we're also working on making video alarm verification available to professional security monitoring services.
A: The time setting are: No delay 15 sec 30 sec 45 sec 1 min 3 min 5 min Bother home armed and away armed can be set independent of each other. I have no delay when home armed and 30 sec delay when away armed. You can set sensors independent each other as well for both home and away.
