Nest Secure
The Nest Secure Alarm Starter Pack is a stylish DIY smart home security solution that's easy to install and configure, but it’s relatively expensive and lacks the integrations that you get with some other systems.

Product details
- Secure smart lock for your front door; replaces the deadbolt lock you already have.Note: Measure your door's backset, cross bore and thickness to ensure you find the right fit
- Keyless entry on the LED keypad so you can lock and unlock your front door without a key; keypad chimes play sounds to confirm responses, such as locking, unlocking, or turning Privacy Mode on or off
- Let someone in from anywhere; unlock the door with your phone for easy guest access
- Give unique passcode to family and guests and set a schedule to control when they work; when you don’t want to be disturbed, Privacy Mode disables the keypad so it can’t be unlocked with a passcode
- Get alerts when someone locks or unlocks the door or tries to tamper with your smart door lock
- Check the status of your door lock from anywhere and lock it with the Nest app; or use one-touch locking on your way out, or a passcode on the keypad lock; with auto-lock, it can lock automatically when you’re away from home
- Easy to install; just switch out your deadbolt or call a Nest Pro to help
