The Doorbell Camera records up to 700 20 second video events for free on the included SD Micro card and is compatible with memory cards up to 128GB. The great thing about today’s home security systems is that they’re easy to install and set up, and it’s easy for you to access them, thanks to Web enabled apps and user interfaces. The cameras also come in various shapes and sizes, allowing you to easily squeeze them in almost anywhere, without being too obtrusive. We’ve seen a lot of compact ones that are small enough to be placed on shelves and tables, and can even be enclosed inside a stuffed toy. However, there’s a new breed of home security solution that’s currently gaining the spotlight – one that’s being put front and center, right at your front door. Door monitoring cameras allow you to get a good view of your entryway no matter where you are. This type of security camera works almost like a doorbell, except that when someone’s at the door and pushes the button, you’ll get an alert from your smartphone and have the ability to answer the door remotely. It’s a great way for when you’re expecting a guest or a friend. What’s more, it also lets you see who’s stopped by in your place when you’re away from home, and whether or not the person at the door is welcome to see you. Some door/entryway monitoring cameras even allow you to take snapshots and video clips, and be integrated into some parts of your automated home, like in smart door locks. The Ring Video Doorbell Pro works both as a doorbell and a security camera.

Nest also plans to partner with MONI Smart Security for 24/7 monitoring, though that service won't be available for a few months. The Nest Secure starter kit includes a Nest Guard, two Nest Detects and two Nest Tags. You can buy additional detects for $59 each, while tags cost $25. Nest plans to offer a $598 bundle through Best Buy that includes both a Nest Secure kit and a Nest Cam Outdoor. Nest is working with Yale to produce a smartlock that will work with the Nest Secure system. Look for that to arrive early next year. Nest Cam IQ OutdoorIf Nest Secure feels like a fairly complex combination of sensors and base units, Nest Cam IQ Outdoor does exactly what it says on the label. It's a new version of the Nest Cam IQ introduced earlier this year, only built for outdoor use. Nest Cam IQ OutdoorThe outdoor camera boasts an IP66 weather rating and Nest says it's tamper resistant, too. Its speaker is 15 times more powerful than the one on the indoor version of the Nest Cam IQ, good for making yourself heard when you want someone to identify themselves. Nest Cam IQ Outdoor promises a 130 degree view shot in 1080p video.

We tested the detection capabilities of each smoke detector in our comparison by spraying test smoke from an aerosol can directly at each one from 5, 10 and 15 feet away. When we tested the 5 and 10 foot mark, the Nest Protect sounded its alarm after 18 seconds. At 15 feet, the alarm activated at 28 seconds. It should be noted that Nest Protect was the only smoke detector that passed all of our detection tests. Half the devices could not detect our test smoke from 10 feet away and only Nest Protect sensed danger from the 15 foot mark. All smoke alarms feature a loud blaring tone to alert you to potential dangers in your home. Nest Protect goes a step further by adding voice alerts that calmly tell you what kind of danger is present, where it is and how to proceed. If you have multiple Nest Protect smoke alarms installed and networked in your home, alerts will sound on each of them, warning everyone in your home about the danger. You can hush the alarm with the app if there's a false alarm. When Nest Protect detects threats in your home, it sends a notification directly to your smartphone. These real time notifications allow you to handle the situation from wherever you are – you won’t always be home when disaster strikes – and contact local emergency services if necessary.
