Nest Protect is different in that it also provides spoken alerts, which not only tell you the nature of the emergency smoke or carbon monoxide, but also the room in which it's occurring. The Nest Protect runs self checks to ensure that everything is working as it should; while this includes turning on its siren once a month, it's a welcome feature. The app gives you advance warning, which is also nice. The Nest Protect was the only smoke detector to pass all of our tests. Through the Nest app, you can monitor the status of the detector, as well as any other Nest products you have, such as the Nest Cam and the Nest Learning Thermostat. The app gives detailed information on when the Nest Protect last checked itself, and if there are any issues. From here, you can also silence the alarm if it goes off accidentally while you're cooking a steak, for example.

Bottom LineAt $100, the Nest Protect is one of the most expensive, but also one of the most comprehensive, of the smart smoke detectors we've tested. Not only does it pick up several types of fires, as well as carbon monoxide, but it also does the best job at alerting you of the danger. And, it works with a wide range of smart home products.

The app can also be used for mobile devices. ……. xmartO WOS1388 1TB 8 Channel 960p HD Wireless Security Camera System with 8 HD Outdoor Wireless IP Cameras and 1TB Hard Drive Auto Pair, Built in Router, 1. 3MP CameraThis large 8 camera system with a 1TB DVR is built to give a lot of coverage. As with other systems the cameras can be viewed on a monitor and with a app. The hardest part of a large wireless system such as this is plugging in all the cameras. Each camera will have a 12V DC adapter that plugs into a 120 volt AC wall outlet. How the power is run to each unit will need to be given some thought. This is not as difficult a hurdle though as having to run wires through walls. Summary Using a wireless security camera system with a DVR is a good option when adding wires is not an option. Keep in mind wireless doesn’t perform well in some cases and degrades with distance and barriers.
