Indoor security.<\/h2>\r\n
\r\n\r\n

Nest Cam Wireless Security Cameras plug into ordinary electrical outlets throughout your home. They communicate through your home\u2019s existing Wi-Fi network and a free app downloaded to your smartphone or tablet so you can see and hear what the camera captures 24\/7 \u2013 or communicate with inhabitants via two-way audio capability. The cams will also alert you of motion to door, window or inside activity while your home is unoccupied. <\/p>\r\n

Nest also offers a Nest Aware subscription service that provides enhanced security with up to thirty days of 24\/7 recorded activity. With this service you can even save video clips \u2013 to show suspicious activity to the police, or share favorite videos of family or pets.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Smart detectors.<\/h2>\r\n
\r\n\r\n\r\n

A Nest Protect Smoke & Carbon Monoxide Detector will alert you to gas and carbon monoxide hazards as they occur and simultaneously signal your Nest Learning Thermostat to shut down the furnace \r\nto limit potential danger. When set to away mode, this smart thermostat will also turn on a Nest Cam to automatically alert you to on-camera incidents. <\/p>\r\n\r\n

Outdoor security<\/h2>\r\n
\r\n\r\n\r\n

The Ring Wireless Video Doorbell Camera with two-way audio sends alerts to a smartphone or tablet and allows occupants to see and talk with anyone who approaches the door. It can interface with Google Home and Amazon Echo voice-command systems, including Amazon Show and Amazon Spot compact video-enabled devices. Download the Ring app and join a Neighborhood Watch network to monitor suspicious activity in your area. <\/p>\r\n

Ring Motion Sensing Security Cams offer, in addition to video and audio capability, ultra-bright LED floodlights and a 110-decibel siren that can be activated on command. With a 270-degree field of view, homeowners set up activation time schedules and customizable \u201cmotion zones\u201d to detect and distinguish between moving objects and people. <\/p>\r\n

P.C. Richard & Son offers a Ring Whole-Home Security System with 24\/7 professional monitoring. The DIY installation kit includes a base station \u201chub\u201d with keypad, contact sensor, motion detector and range extender..<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n

Smart locks.<\/h2>\r\n
\r\n\r\n\r\n

Nest has partnered with Yale to produce keyless, tamper-proof locks through back-lit touchscreen that lock or unlock through a smartphone or tablet using the Nest app. <\/p>\r\n

Nest x Yale locks also allow homeowners to assign individual codes to family members, to keep track of member movements, or to grant access to caretakers or workers when needed. <\/p>\r\n\r\n

Smart and easy.<\/h2>\r\n
\r\n\r\n

The Blink XT is an affordable, weatherproof, wireless indoor or outdoor security camera and monitoring system. Powered by Double A batteries that last for up to two years, homeowners can easily place or move the cameras as needed to keep an eye on things. <\/p>\r\n

Blink XT cameras have built-in motion sensors and the ability to record sound and send high-definition video to a smartphone or tablet. The addition of an available Sync Module lets you build a network of up to 10 cameras, with no monitoring subscription service required.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
