Such systems, devices, and methods optionally complement or replace conventional systems, devices, and methods for illuminating, capturing, and analyzing scenes. The present disclosure describes compact doorbell camera implementations having capabilities of high power on camera processing, low light e. g. , night time illumination, concurrent transmission of multiple HD video streams, and wirelessly communication with other devices over multiple protocols e. g. , display, speaker. In some implementations, the smart alarm system 122 may also be set to an “armed” mode, such that detection of a trigger condition or event causes the alarm to be sounded unless a disarming action is performed. In some implementations, the smart home environment 100 includes one or more intelligent, multi sensing, network connected wall switches 108 hereinafter referred to as “smart wall switches 108”,
along with one or more intelligent, multi sensing, network connected wall plug interfaces 110 hereinafter referred to as “smart wall plugs 110”. The smart wall switches 108 may detect ambient lighting conditions, detect room occupancy states, and control a power and/or dim state of one or more lights. In some instances, smart wall switches 108 may also control a power state or speed of a fan, such as a ceiling fan.

Moreover, it was the only device to
pass all of our tests. Yes, a siren is very helpful in alerting you to a fire, but doesn't provide any information other than that. 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.
