Nest Secure: Is It Worth It?

2017-11-17
hey everyone I'm Matt Gonzalez with TechnoBuffalo I recently moved to Southern California and since I'm in a new place I want to make sure that my apartment is safe and secure when I'm at work and now and about luckily Ness reached out about their new nest secure security system and sponsored this video and since I already use nest products this seemed like the perfect opportunity so in the box you'll get everything you need to get up and running you have the nest guard base station to detect motion sensors and to nest tags for disabling the alarm on the surface the whole system isn't too different from a traditional security system you have a keypad to into your code you have different arming modes for when you're at home or when you're away has a battery in case the power goes out and the detect sensors stick on your door window or on the wall to detect motion in a room what makes this different and better than those traditional systems is the amount of control you have and that starts with the app this all connects to the same nest app that you'd use for your thermostat or for your camera or any nest product and it connects easily by scanning barcodes on the back of the sensor and the base station and the tags and you follow the on-screen instructions it's pretty simple the guard station connects to your Wi-Fi network so you'll be connected and you have the option for five dollars a month or fifty dollars a year through t-mobile to have cellular connectivity so you'll never be offline like if the power goes out and if you'd like you can subscribe to professional 24/7 monitoring through monie security just for that added protection although neither of these options are required to use the net secure now in addition to the base station you have the detect motion sensors these can go on a door on a window or they can attach to the wall to detect motion in a room also they have a light built-in so if you're walking around in the middle of night so you have to go to the bathroom or something it will light up your path and you don't have to turn on the light and disturb someone else and the sensor has a button built-in with a feature called quiet open so say it's the middle of the night and you just need to go outside for some reason but your house is armed you don't really want to turn off the alarm but you still need to get outside you just push that button it lets you open the door and when you close it it gets armed again now once all the hardware is installed you can move to the app here you can set your passcode it can be whatever you'd like and you can change it at any time as well and to arm the system you just push the button on the base station and they have different modes for when you're at home or when you're leaving in the app though you can tailor each situation to your specific needs so for instance when I have the alarm set to a way I have motion detection turned on but I can easily turn that off and I have the alarm countdown set for 3 minutes so I don't have to be rushed to get out the door it's gonna give me plenty of time and I won't set off the alarm also most importantly to me is that if I forget to set the alarm which has happened a time or two when I leave it'll ping me on my phone and I can just set the alarm from there now in the app is where you're going to monitor everything that happens so if your system detects motion or it detects a door opening you're gonna get pinged on your phone also if you have an S cam it'll integrate seamlessly with your system so if it detects motion you'll also be able to watch what's going on inside your house when returning home the system comes with two Ness tags these are little chips that you can put on your keyring and instead of entering your code you just tap this on the base station and it'll disarm your system now what's great about these is you can give them to anyone so say you have someone that needs to access your house like a dog walker or a cleaner you can give them one of these tags and set a time for when they can actually access your home so if the dog walker needs to walk the dog at two o'clock they can access your house at two but at 2:30 the alarms gonna go off now probably my biggest concern when I unbox this is that I didn't think the alarm was going to be very loud I mean the base station is time but it's loud so four five hundred dollars although that's a bit on the higher side this is a relatively full-featured system as the system cysts now it will definitely bring you some security that everything at home is safe and if you already news nest products like I do it integrates seamlessly into the framework I'm already used to but anyways I want to thank you all so much for watching be sure to let us know down below in the comments what you think of the nest secure system and if you want to pick one up for yourself links are in the description again I'm Matt Gonzalez with TechnoBuffalo and I'll see you guys next time you
