The Nest Secure is a simple to install, easy to use, and effective security alarm system. What's in the Box? The starter kit comes with the Nest Guard, 2 Nest Detect sensors, 2 Nest Tags, some mounting brackets and screws, the Quick Start Guide, and User's Guide. The mounting screws and brackets may not be necessary if you decide to use the pre-installed adhesive backings. The brackets are used if you decide to mount the Nest detect sensors at the corners of walls. The Nest Guard is the base unit and is the central hub that manages all the communication with your home wifi network, the optional subscription base cellular network, the optional professional monitoring service, your smartphone app, and the Nest detector sensors and tags. The Nest Guard also has a built-in keypad, siren, and motion sensor. The Nest detect sensors are the motion and open/close sensing devices. The Nest tags are the wireless electronic switches that you use to turn on and off the security system by tagging/touching it to the Nest Guard. Installation One of the great features of the Nest Secure is the ease of installation. You don't have to be tech savvy at all. You simply download the Nest app and create an account. After that you follow the direction on the app and use your smartphone's camera to read the QR codes on the Nest Guard, Nest Tags, and Nest Detect sensors to set up the system. Except for the power cord for the Nest Guard, the whole system is wireless. Each of the Nest Detects comes with a pre-installed CR123 battery which can last up to two years. The entire installation is painlessly quick. The hardest part is deciding where you want to place the two Nest detect sensors that come with the starter kit. The app enables you to label each of the sensors for easy reference such as “entry way”, “front door”, etc. Standout Performance Features -There are three ways to activate and deactivate the security system: using the Nest app on your smartphone, tagging in and out using the Nest tag, and punching in a security code on the Nest Guard keypad. -There are three security levels: alarm off, home and guarding, and away and guarding. -The Nest detectors can sense motion, detect when a door is open and closed, and can be used in the dark to provide temporary illumination for pathways. -You can select the alarm countdown for how long you have to turn off the alarm after you open a door or turn on the alarm when you leave the home. Options are 30s, 45s, 1 min, 3 min, and 5 min. -The security siren emits an 85dB high pitch piercing sound. -The security system is linked to your wifi network, but has the option for a monthly subscription based cellular back up in case your home network is disabled. -You have options for monitoring. You can self monitor through the Nest app which sends you a notification when the Nest detect is triggered or when the alarm is activated. Or you can subscribe to the 24/7 professional monitoring service from a third party company called MONI. My thoughts after using it... I thought the Nest Secure system is an easy to use, intuitive, and effective security system. By itself, the security system does not differentiate itself too much from its competitors. After all it is a basic wireless security system. What I thought is great about Nest Secure and what ultimately made me decide to give Nest Secure a try is that it allows you to manage and monitor your home security system remotely using the Nest app on your smartphone. This applies whether or not you subscribe to the professional monitoring service. The Nest app will send you immediate notifications when door/window/motion sensors are triggered or when the alarm is activated. The ability to self monitor and to make a decision whether or not to call law enforcement without necessarily needing to hire a professional monitoring service is an excellent feature, and I applaud Nest for making this feature available. With other competing security systems, the app is disabled unless you subscribe to the professional monitoring service, meaning that you have to pay monthly fees otherwise your security system is useless. Where Nest Secure really outshines the competition is the ability to tap into its vast Nest home resources. When you integrate your Nest Secure with the Nest Outdoor/Indoor cameras, the Nest video doorbell, and other smart home devices such as turning on the lights when an intruder is sensed, you really get a powerful all encompassing security system. However, when you consider the professional monitoring service, the Nest Secure's monitoring fees are more expensive than those from some competiting products. In summary, by providing its users the ability to self-monitor and the ability to integrate the entire suite of Nest home security products (Nest Cams, video doorbells, lights) the Nest Secure has the edge over the competition. I wholeheartedly recommend the Nest Secure Alarm system.

Key fobs are extremely helpful when hands are full

I am very happy with my Nest Secure Product after having it about a week now. It looks great and well made as most Nest products are. The Guard (base) has a screw to screw the power cord into the wall faceplate and has a backup battery and tamper alarm if it has power cut or is disabled another way, as well as the sensors do. Although you have the tags and ability to enter a number to disarm/arm the system, after the first day I have found this to not be needed. If I get in my car and drive about two blocks, my phone (and Android Wear Watch) go off and say they see my house is empty and unarmed, do I want to set the alarm. I tap arm on my watch and boom, its set. Also when I pull back into my driveway it says welcome home do you want me to disarm and I tap yes on my watch and its unarmed. So other than setting Home and Armed when I go to bed, I never have to touch the base or app directly. Very cool! The voice prompts are nice and I am sure they will add more features as it goes along.

It’s a must have if you need an alarm and have other best products in your home
