Calm, measured speaking voice without latest rock music background, makes this a pleasant and informative video. Thanks!

Thank you Gary. Clear and concise you have given me the confidence to install two hardwired Nest protects in my home

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience!

Excellent instructional video! You introduced and covered very valuable basic fire alarm information. I too was unaware of fire alarm expiration date ranges. I’m choosing Nest 2nd gen smoke detectors to replace all my smoke detectors too. Thank you again!

Excellent video! Thanks Gary for your slow and easy to follow instructions. I just installed 3 wired Nest detectors in my home... feeling " super safe" now.!

Thank you for a very informative video! I've gone ahead and ordered mine as well to integrate with my home.

SUCH AN AWESOME AND GREAT REVIEW. REALLY HELPED ME WITH MY PURCHASE, THANK YOU SO MUCH

This is an incredible video, thank you for sharing with us :)

This type of interconnect system is especially useful when occupants are in the bedroom and there is an issue in the kitchen. Most people think that the number one cause of kitchen fires is the stove, which is probably true. However, about 12 years ago, while visiting Southern California, I saw a news story about a disproportionate number of kitchen fires that were caused by a faulty circuit board in the last thing you would expect to start a fire, the dishwasher. Many people go up to bed after starting their dishwasher thinking the only thing that will happen is their dishes will get washed. These wireless link Next detectors can be especially beneficial when you consider that the average time for a normal dishwasher cycle is about 2 hours 30 minutes.

Thank you so very much for this video , all the information and even details definitely make me satisfied with my choice of Nest ... Awesome job !!

Good video, pleasure to watch. I have been looking into the nest protect and after watching this i will by purchasing a couple of these. Thanks (from uk)

Great video!. Very professional and informative. Thanks for taking your time to make it.

Very informational! Great review!

Awesome video Gary. Thank you. I just picked up a wired one today. I will be watching your other videos on the testing as well.

No...the date on the smoke detector is the manufacturer date. You replace it 10 years from that date, or close to it. I do fire safety inspections....

Thanks Gary....Very helpful.

Great video - very helpful - thank you!

Great video, thank you, purchasing a 3 pack now! :)

Excellent video. Appreciate the information.

Thanks Gary. Great video

Best video on the Nest, thank you..

What a great video. Well done!

Outstanding.

works beautifully

I got all the answers I needed, in a calm and well done video

GREAT VIDEO. VERY PROFESSIONAL

Great video - thank you 👍

Great video. Well Done!

Well done!

Great video!

Thanks for this.

this video is hella good!

completely off topic but your voice is so soothing! but i will be buying a nest protect

great video!

Your voice reminds me of Ferris Bueller. Great video!

Good video thx

Fun fact: Testing one Protect via the button will, of course, test that Protect. But then it also tests EVERY OTHER ONE IN THE ENTIRE BUILDING.

Thanks for the info kababayan..

Love it

Hello nice vid it helped

Great job! Do you know if the alarm horn sounds: 3 blasts, pause, 3 blasts, pause...until silenced. I believe it’s a UL requirement. The reason I ask is my security system has a module that listens for that 3/pause pattern. Thanks.

Hi Gary, Excellent video! My question: I want a wireless smoke detector that will alert me via Bluetooth or Wifi on my iPhone when I'm away as well as when I'm home. Is this the one? Thanks!

I’m having a hard time finding a smart home fire alarm that will interconnect wired, (NOT wireless) to my existing wired system (not smart). I only want to install 1 smart detector, that will recognize/receive a signal from existing interconnected detectors to alert me. I don’t need to know what room there may be a problem in, I just want one smart detector to tell me if one of the other interconnected alarms are going off..

Great info in there. Thank you.

your alarms look so cool

Great video, thanks for the breakdown. Do they stay constantly lit? I don’t want to have extra light in my bed rooms.

Hi you mention at the end that you don’t need a WiFi. So how do u get alerts if there carbon monoxide to the phone and how it sends signal to the thermostat to shut the boiler off?

8:37 That date on the old alarm in the kids room is the manufacture date, that smoke alarm diddn’t need replacing, just so you know:)

I would like to switch out all my old, wired smoke detectors with the Nest battery ones. My question - based on your experience, would you have been able to affix the backplate for the battery Nest over the hole the old wired detector leaves in the ceiling?

I believe you

Great video. ? Is there a way or guide to square it up. Meaning lined up with the four corners of the wall

Can the nest use the interconnect if I don’t want to buy nine of these at once?

Great video! Also, any negative to install the battery powered one and close off the wires to keep everything more wireless even though my original one is wired ?

I have a question for you; the Nest smoke alarm how many square feet does it cover? Is it recommended to get one for every room in the house? Thanks

Hi Gary, may I know if the volume on the Nest Protect adjustable? If yes can you give me a bit more details on volume as my daughter is very sensitive to sound. A sudden loud sound will cause her cramp.

for the wired version do you actually need to wire it or you can still use with just the batteries all the time? I don't have any existing wired alarms

Does it have to be installed on the ceiling? Or can it be mounted on the wall?

Question: in my case I want to change one of my 3 wired smoke alarms with nest pritect. Is it possible. Or I would have to replave all three. Those 3 are interconnected. If I change one will it be again law or something.

Hey stupid question but how does the walk way lighting work for the bed rooms? Does it just not work when it’s running on battery?

Can this work with Google or Alexa?

i plan to buy one at a time up to 6 of them. Will this be a problem to set up?

I searched fire safety and ended up here (I need to set up our house for fire/CO2 alarms). I love the Nest setup you showed. I decided to subscribe. We have a gas stove/oven, any suggestions for detection? Thanks :)

Sold!

If you have multi units in your house do all need to be hardwired if one is?

i have an ionization smoke alarm that has a date of oct 2006 and i have a co alarm that has the date of 1999. do i need to replace them?

Can I just get one of these smoke detectors and run it purely off battery? I currently dont have a 120 volt input on my old detectors

Hi Gary... great video! I now have 8 nests in my duplex. 4 in the apartment and recently 4 in the apartment above that I rent above. I was curious in thinking about these products. Do they speak to each via WiFi? If so what happens when there is a fire 🔥 that would shut down the WiFi in the the home? I also go back and forth in connecting all of the nests in the 2 apartments. There is one shared one in the first floor hallway. I even called the local fire Marshall and stumped him on the code. Haha. Thanks again!

Does anyone know if Google is abandoning the Nest products? I bought a 2nd generation Nest Protect (wired) and it is not supported by Google Home or the newest Google Hubs with video.

Awesome and helpful review! It helped me make my decision to purchase the Nest system to replace my failing First Alert system. One note - the music hit long tones that were quite distracting, and was unnecessary with such great content.

I just subscribed

Solid review, I want these now. Sucks they're so pricey, but if I went with what Simplisafe offers I'd need separate detectors for both. 5 in a house would mean 10 detectors.

When I attempted to install the battery nest protect over the ceiling electrical box that held the previous smoke alarm I encountered a problem: the back plate provided with the Nest was too small for the electrical box. Customer support could not provide a solution. Consequently, I returned the product. Needless to say, I was disappointed in the product and support.

I can not buy all Nest protects to replace all my hard wired smoke alarms. So if I buy 3 Nest but have 6 non nest. If the nest goes off, it will now alarm the non Nest alarms?

I'm sorry but I'm an electrician, so I had to mention that 7:45 if the vacuum cleaner was enough to knock the wire nut off your white neutral wire, it wasn't secured tight enough. The small orange wire nuts would work better than yellows here. Perhaps this is the reason for "low battery alert"?

0:21 those are the detectors in my house... gotta replace em..

The 44 people that down voted this informative video do not seem concerned about their loved ones 🤔

If you kept getting the "low battery" chirp after replicating, chances are it was a lower quality 9V. More costly (name brand, Duracell, Energizer,...) will not cause this issue.

I will be so grateful if you could turn off your intent router and reconnect it after about 15 minutes and check if it gets reconnect after internet connection comes back, my Nest Indoor Cam does not reconnect in this scenario unless I restart it manually

this is great for deaf people also

how does the nest protect work show video

Great presentation Gary but, you may want to turn your background music down some. :)

Does it have a camera on it?

What if the WiFi goes down, will the alarms all interconnect or not?

You sound like Josh Teder from 6 Month Later Reviews.

Carbon is heavier than o2. Normally it needs to be Lower to the ground.

Your son uses Genelec speakers? Wow he's going to become an audiophile when he grows up.

6:23 All 3: 0119201809? (Me next?) and then they all go at the same time. But sound check was screwed up.

OJ Pahati commented on your photo.

I have ionization

0:22 That kidder smoke alarm i saw the same smoke detector that got smashed by a hammer. I never knew that carbon deoxide is bad.

Steve Jobs 2 ? ;)

Good stuff but very expense though

That's A Manufacturer Date

Does the app tell you how much carbon monoxide is in the air?

😮😅

5:58 fire & carbon monoxide tests (volume warning)

How long will last the energizer battery in the battery operated version? Does anybody know?
