Does anyone here use Nest’s security system to protect their home? I have seen “secured by adt” and “secured by simplisafe” signs everywhere but never have I seen the secured by nest signs. If anyone has experience with nest, is it as reliable at the other two and does it inform the authorities upon intrusion like the other two?
XFinity home locks you in a 2 year contract, tons of hidden fees, and they're customer service is shit. ADT is a scummy company with old tech, and again has contracts. Nest's security offering was super disappointing and is really a step backward. Keypad requires outlet and is not wall mounted... really!? Basically just limiting their customer base to the few people that have a table and outlet right next to their front door. Simplisafe is the best for security. Cheap, super easy DIY install, everything is wireless, no contacts. Cameras aren't great though. Personally I use simplisafe for security and nest for cameras.
+1 for SimpliSafe for security and Nest for cameras.
Nest has only one keypad, and their connection is really for small apartments. Very disappointed.
Thanks for the useful inputs. Really helpful.
Get simplisafe
I’m evaluating my options as well. Can someone also comment on xfinity home?
