“I’m considering this system for my Cabin. But the power goes out temporarily, a few times per month. There isn’t good cellular service up there. But we do have a land line. Are the options for maintaining connectivity if sustained power outage?”

That is just crazy. When you're at home asleep, the alarm should immediately sound without a "Heads Up" countdown. You can't hear the countdown warning across your house. It is this feature which is the sole reason I am not buying this system. Hopefully this will soon be fixed with a software upgrade.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The Nest Guard comes with a built in 12 hour battery backup so it can still alert you if the power is lost temporarily. Without power in the home, you may need cellular backup to ensure you still receive alerts of a possible breaking as the router may no longer have power to provide WiFi. More details here: https://nest.com/support/article/Frequently-asked-questions-about-Nest-Secure 24/7 professional monitoring by MONI, which will include cellular backup, will be available later this year as a subscription service.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.There is a battery in nest guard. Note if you want to manage this you need a WiFi broadband connection. Otherwise you will not get notified that there is a break in. It does not work with a landline unless it's connected 100% of the time
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.If power goes out there is a battery backup but the system runs on WiFi the only option for if WiFi goes down is cellular.
