Tough on bad guys. Easy on you.The Nest Secure alarm system is easy to live with every day. The included Nest Cam Outdoor gives you 24/7 peace of mind. 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~ll always know what~s happening at home.

Mount everything properly and it works superbly

We like this smart alarm and the ability to manage every component of it on our phones from anywhere in the world. The alarm is loud when triggered. The motion detector on the Guard unit and the motion detection on the door sensors pick up all movement if you mount them about 5'6 above ground level. Any higher though, and someone can scoot across the ground on their bellies without being detected. The key fobs work great too, but very occasionally they can require a little more time to disarm the alarm. Overall, this is a very intuitive system and you get what you pay for, which is lots.

Enjoy pleasant room-filling sound with this white Sonos One (Gen 1) speaker. It lets you control music hands-free when it's used in conjunction with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant built-in, and the midrange woofer and tweeter deliver deep bass and clear high-frequency vocals. This Sonos One speaker connects to your home Wi-Fi network for uninterrupted wireless streaming.

Superb sound when mounted properly, poor Alexa mic

The sound on this speaker is pretty amazing. You get crisp highs, balanced mids, and good clean bass (not overpowering like subwoofers) if you mount it properly in a corner of the room 6' off the ground. The corner walls act as a bass reflex box so the bass sounds better this way...don't expect thumping bass though, just clean well-defined bass. Now the big negative, the mic is pretty bad for Alexa. She hears you but she gets your request wrong about 20 percent of the time. Compared to an Echo or Echo Dot which gets it wrong about 5 percent of the time, the Sonos One fails in this category. I'm only disappointed that I ponied up an extra 50 dollars for each of the Sonos Ones we bought for the Alexa compatibility (we have 4 spread evenly throughout the house). When Alexa works on these Ones, they're great though.

Did you shut the window? Did the baby wake up? What~s the dog getting into? Google Nest Cam helps you stay connected to things ~ in super clear 1080p HD video. It sends alerts to your phone when there~s motion or sound. And only takes a minute to set up. Google Nest Cam lets you see around the clock with Night Vision. And has a built-in mic and speaker so you can tell your dog to get off the couch. Think you missed something? Subscribe to Google Nest Aware + Video History and your Google Nest Cam will continuously record up to 30 days of video so you can rewind and see what happened.

Overpriced camera, poor vid quality, false alarms
on January 12, 2018

Verified Purchase:Yes
The camera is quick to set up, and that's where the positives end. We have it mounted about 12 feet off the ground and at that height, the video image is ok but even at the highest resolution setting, you can't see a person's face clearly unless the sun is shining super bright into the house. I give video quality only 2 stars. Audio is acceptable, but when you communicate back and forth through the Android app and the camera, you can't always hear the person respond on your phone. The person near the camera can always hear the person that is on the phone, but not vice versa...1 star in this category. Also, to keep a video history of the past 10 days, you have to pay a subscription fee for a camera that is already super costly with poor quality in every category. There are systems out there that do not require a subscription fee. Also, there are a high number of false alarms. If the sun comes out from behind clouds or jumps back behind clouds, the camera alerts your phone that there is someone near the camera. You will get alert fatigue with this camera. Another problem, the camera sometimes will stop streaming to the Android app...we've had to shut off and turn on the camera 3 times in the past 2 weeks to restore video streaming capabilities on the Droid app. They should allow free or highly discounted upgrades to that new Nest cam which is supposedly light years ahead of this one, because this model is a total disappointment and waste of money.

Works great, no defects out of 18 burned

We didn't have many options when we picked these up. They all work so far and the read and write were quick on all of our burners. Also, no compatibility issues whatsoever with our client's laptops where the finished (copied) DVDs end up being used. We also write DVDs with an external USB 3.0 DVD writer and that one could read and write these all day long too. Overall, we are very happy with these double layer DVDs and will continue to buy more when we run out of them.

Is there no mode with "no entry delay" when at home in sounding the alarm and notifying the monitoring center? I can't believe at this oversight if this is true - I came very close to buying this over my front point system, but I must pass otherwise.
No, there is no mode that has "no entry delay". Because of this, we ended up hiding our Nest until behind candles and a bunch of other decorations so anyone coming in might have a hard time finding the Guard unit. We wouldn't hide it if the Nest Guard just stayed quiet before the siren goes off, but it keeps telling you that you have x minutes to disarm the alarm. They definitely need a zero delay option.
