    Perfect addition to the rest of my Google Home products. Easy set up especially when connecting to my network. Key fobs and the door/window sensors were easy to connect. Setting alarm or turning off are pretty simple. I haven't connected it yet but the ability to get monitored service connected is another positive.

    Great product, I’m a fan of Goggle Nest products so this was a easy purchase for me. I wish the price was a little more competitive with others but I think it’s well put together.

    Awesome product. Got it on sale to it was easy to set up, and gives me piece of mind when ever leaving home. It even has an internal battery back up in case the power goes out it will last for 12 hours. Sadly, it not being produce anymore but glad they will keep up with future updates.

    Works perfect! I didn’t want a monthly service (although it is available if desired through Nest) but I wanted to tie in all the other Nest products I owned. I’ve purchased several additional Nest Detect window/door sensors and they are easy to setup. One dashboard for all my Nest products.

    I bought this because I already have a thermostat, Google Home Hub, and camera. Definitely not the cheapest but it works great! If you have Nest equipment already, it integrates very easily.

    I use both the Nest cameras and the Ring doorbell so was initially unsure as to who’s security system I wanted to go with. Based on reviews I chose the Nest system and so far am glad I did. Easy set up and the system does everything it says it does including being able to ignore my active Siberian Husky throughout the day.

    I love this home security system. Unfortunately it was discontinued by google which is really sad. It’s so easy to use and I absolutely love it. It still works but I fear this will discontinue the service that’s happened to other similar systems like Iris by Lowe’s.

    We really enjoy this Google product. We took our time deciding which company to go with for home securit, and we are so glad we decided to get with Google. We love how we can access everything on our phones, and customize our products just for us.

    I went from another alarm service to the Nest service because I have a Nest thermostat. So far it is pretty good. I did have to warranty claim the first unit because it lost WiFi connection and would no reconnect. Nest was easy to deal with and sent me a new one right away. It has been working flawlessly now for a few weeks. The app could use some work as it seems to "lose connection" sometimes but other than that it is very easy to use. I do wish Nest would work with Apple HomeKit but that is for another day.

    You get what you pay for with Nest, even though it seems like the price tag is high, this system will work on it's own and you can link it to Brinks for about 20 a month if needed, super easy setup with the nest app. 5 stars all day.

    Great alarm system but discontinued by Google

    We got this system about 9 months ago, and it has worked well for us since we got it. I like the feature that allows you to quietly open the door while the alarm is set. This comes in handy when I am leaving for work early in the morning and my kids are still sleeping. My only concern is now that this product is discontinued by Google how long they will continue to support it. Just for that reason it is hard to recommend that anyone should buy one.

    Easy setup with the app, Motion sensor is accurate and wide. Thought I would have to get extra sensors for my garage door , but because the motion sensor is so wide if there is any movement in the garage it activates the alarm.

    Security without the usual annoyances

    The Nest Secure is an easy to use product that basically manages itself, is easy to set up, it doesn't annoy you when people enter and leave throughout the day, and when armed will notify you immediately if anything happens in it's monitored area. Installation is a breeze, the system is completely wireless with the exception of the power cord for the Nest Guard unit. The whole system is added expanded and added to your already existing WiFi system simply by scanning the QR codes on all the items which you would like to add to the security system and adding additional items is just as easy. The two included sensors have multiple uses depending on how you would like to use them. They can be used as a traditional door sensor, as a window sensor (open-close, not break), or as a motion sensor. And, when it is used as a door or window sensor, it also doubles as a motion sensor. The sensors are easy to mount, either by using the included mounting hardware or the included adhesive strips. The Nest Secure starter pack also includes a pair of key fobs, designed to make arming and disarming the system simple. They are added just like everything else on the system by just scanning the QR codes on the fobs. You are also able to use up to an 8 digit code for arming and disarming the system and can assign individual codes to everyone in the household so that it is easy for them to remember and you can track who is coming and going based of of their codes or key fob. The app is simple to use and if you already have another Nest product, your setup time will be reduced. You are able to customize your settings for home/away, duration between entry/exit and alarm, and notifications In addition to the included features you are also able to add 24/7 home monitoring like a traditional alarm system as well as cellular backup in case your system loses WiFi for any reason. Overall this is a very simple to use, easy to setup, and easy to add to system that can be used as your one and only alarm system without the usual annoyances of older systems and with the ease of use and monitoring of newer systems.

    So far, all of our Nest products have worked great. This was the last thing I had to purchase. The security system was easy to install. It comes with two (2) fobs, but you can program it so when you unlock the door with your code, it turns off the system.
