Reviewers hold hope that software improvements will eventually make the OneLink a contender, but for now, as Wirecutter notes, "many of the Onelink's features are just pale imitations of the Protect's offerings. "We also saw a little expert buzz around the Halo Smart Smoke and CO Alarm Est. $130, a hardwired smart smoke and CO detector. Most actually review the Halo +, a model that adds weather alerts, and $20, to the regular Halo, but that model is not currently available. Still, core functionality should be the same, and that's well liked by the experts that have seen the unit. It's the top rated smart smoke detector at Reviewed, the second highest rated model at Top Ten Reviews, and earns a 4 star rating from CNET. User reviews are both limited and uninspiring, though, so we think the Nest is a better bet for most, for now. One plus compared to other smart smoke detectors is that it contains both ionization and photoelectric sensors for detecting all types of fires. One minus is that while this smoke detector can be interconnected with other units to form a network, that network is hardwired. That means that installation can be a challenge unless it is part of a major remodeling job, or in new construction. Fires are always alarming, even terrifying.

In some implementations, determining whether a motion event candidate is a false positive includes determining whether the motion event candidate occurred in a particular zone. In some implementations, determining whether a motion event candidate is a false positive includes analyzing an importance score for the motion event candidate. The importance score for a motion event candidate is optionally based on zones of interest involved with the motion event candidate, background features, motion vectors, scene features, entity features, motion features, motion tracks, and the like. FIG. 6 is a block diagram illustrating a representative client device 220 associated with a user account in accordance with some implementations. The client device 220, typically, includes one or more processing units CPUs 602, one or more network interfaces 604, memory 606, and one or more communication buses 608 for interconnecting these components sometimes called a chipset.
