I love how Tippy was a new member of your channel. Apparently she holds no grudges that you helped her people spy on her. On a serious note, These type videos are so helpful. Have a wonderful holiday with your family, Brad.
Excellent video! I’ve been struggling with the decision of hardwiring the nest cam outside, and your video made me realize I can utilize the covered outlets our home came with (or replace with locked ones), instead of drilling through the home, which my wife is not agreeing to as of yet. Thanks so much for the video I needed to hear that! Also, would like to see and know more of how you use the silicone caulk in lieu of drilling another hole
It's a bit late, but the silicone can be used for some light mounting. In the case of that wire, I would first tape the wire in place with something like duct tape. Once the cable is secured in the correct position, I would quickly clean the area where you will apply the silicone, alcohol is a good option. Then squeeze out a larger bead of silicone (let's say around a teaspoon and no more than a tablespoon) onto the surface where the cable will end up. Press the cable into that bead, and ensure that the cable doesn't try to make its way out, if it does some more tape may be needed or you can just apply some torque to the cable itself to retrain the conductors into a shape which doesn't want to spring away from the surface. Leave the entire set-up to cure for at least 24 hours, preferably 48. After that remove the tape and you should be good to go. Give the cable a light tug to ensure it doesn't just come right off.
We’ve had this sys for over 4 yrs. We love it. Not to mention the other add ones we have, like door/window sensors, tstat, and smoke/ carbon monoxide detector. 😄🤙🏼
Heyy Brad I always come to ur channel for references and I'm have trouble building a sliding door for my closet if u wouldn't mind it would help me a lot if u made a video give me some guidance, thanks Brad and keep up the work
You'll still need to install one for weatherproofing. It's against code to leave a device plugged in, having it exposed to weather. Although it doesn't have to be a locking one
Great video. I’m finding it really hard to buy in to the cloud based cameras though, they have you over a barrel when it comes to the subscription costs and I find it hard to believe they don’t process any of your files, e.g. to count movement of people/vehicles in a particular location and linking it to times etc.
I currently have my baby cams (infant optics) held up on the bedroom walls with push-pins. I really don’t want to drill pairs of holes to replace my baby cams w the nest wired; do you think push-pins will hold up the nest wired on my walls? Thanks!
Pretty interesting system indeed, Brad! Thanks! 😃 I don't remember if I ever told you, but a while back (late 2017 I think) a robbery entered my home. And, well... It was a mess. Really long story... Either way, since then we installed a security system here, but everything works on cables and so on. And no smart features either. 😬 But I'm going to look if I can find something like that here as well! Anyway, happy holidays! And stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Use two systems. Never display both systems with signs. Maybe display a Xfinity sign purchased on eBay. Throw off potential thief’s. Stay one step ahead. Two systems are worth it and it’s not crazy to be protected. You can’t put a price on your life.
and google has a direct video link to your location and where ever your cameras are pointed...and if you use siri, spotify or any other voice actuated programs, you are open to complete home intrusion from these companies,just like you get when you do searchs on google.. big brother loves your compliance
How far can you rotate the outdoor cam on the base? I need one on the side of my house that looks almost 90⁰, is that angle achievable with the magnetic base?
9:40 On that door, you may be better off by installing a storm door and then placing the camera behind the storm door. You can then run wiring inside the house. That way, no one on the outside can unplug it. That's how I have my current camera (not Google) installed.
--Wow dude. Way to bait and switch us. I normally like this channel, but you just waisted my time on a commercial.-- My comment is redacted. Content creator fixed the title. 👍
Appreciate the feedback. Just changed the title to be very clear about the intent of the video and bring the topic to the forefront vs the end of the title.
you do some wonderful jobs, I am 23 years old and I have been learning to be a craftsman for less than 3 months ... I find it a fantastic job, I also opened this youtube channel where I make metal objects. If you have time, watch some videos and tell me if you like them
it's definitely got a modern look to it. My sister had the same concern, but after seeing the performance and benefits decided it was worth the trade off that it didn't match her preferred design.
Do you know if the video is sped up? As in the audio. The audio is sped up about a 1/8th or something near this, correct? A hack to get the video a bit shorter? Comedy. I can't concentrate on the video because of the audio.
The camera service from google is stupid over priced and the software is really problematic. The thermostat is only simple if it likes your systems and you like the way it works. If it works for you on first try, then keep it, but if you have install problems and need parts or help, I strongly suggest getting a quick refund. Every problem you overcome leads to more and then they will update and start your issues all over again. Our electrician gave up after a couple hours of dealing with tech support, and then google had to send a service partner who ended up having three guys look at it. This was for a home that only has a simple furnace and no AC!
hi, I'm Italian, my experience with this technology is negative, I have 40 wireless devices at home (smart switch, ipcamera, smart lamp, smart remote control, smart AC, smart washing machine and more) and the result is that internal data traffic occupies the network with delays of all kinds, I also have a professional router (microtik rb2021) and also several APs that sort the data but nothing to do, with more than 150 M in download and as many 20M in upload google responds to my requests after a few seconds (like "turn on purifier") and the cameras have almost 1 minute streaming delay ...
i like how these security camera provide a false sense of security, you gotta go full 24/7 security company with 24/7 hindu dude in india monitoring your house , the most the camera do is record the crack head touching your things lol
Very curious here. Why have I sold out to Google, but when I talk about other sponsors it's okay? These are solid products that I checked out and stand behind recommending. What makes this different for you?
@@Fixthisbuildthat There's a big difference in scale between mentioning how much you love a particular item, or thank a sponsor in the video. It's another thing entirely when the entire episode is literally a how-to or installation guide for one particular product. The legal copy on the bottom of the video really makes the whole episode seem more like an infomercial than anything else, but I get why it was put there.
