The app also
lets you disable the camera's microphone which turns off audio streaming and recording while still streaming and recording video. Or, you can just disable audio recording, which still lets you hear audio over the livestream. This could be handy if you live on a very loud street and your videos are a racket. Speaking of options, if you subscribe to Nest Aware, you might want to adjust the video resolution down a little. Nest Aware streams continuous video to Nest's servers, and at the top resolution of 1600 x 1200, you could be facing 150GB to 600GB of uploads per month. Nest is up front about this, and suggests reducing the video quality to medium 1152 x 864 or low 512 x 384, or
using the schedule feature to turn the camera on and off so that it's not uploading continuously. Smart Home IntegrationBecause Nest is a division of Google, Nest Hello integrates with the Google Assistant but obviously lacks support for Amazon's Alexa and Apple's HomeKit. Image credit: NestProducts with Google Assistant like the Google Home, Google Home Mini and the Nest Cam IQ with Google Assistant can let you know when someone's at the door. You can also ask Google Assistant to cast the doorbell's live video stream to a Chromecast equipped TV. This even worked with my first generation Chromecast, although it took some buffering as all video tends to do on a first gen Chromecast. If you've subscribed to Nest Aware, you can even have your compatible smart speaker announce people by name, assuming they're recognized by the Nest app.

Your DIY security system doesn’t have to be connected to a
monitoring service that calls the police. It can simply trigger an alarm siren. But don’t dismiss the importance of alarm monitoring.
Crime statistics show that burglars aren’t scared away by sirens. They know it will take at least three to five minutes for neighbors to call the police and just as long for police to respond to the call. A home security system monitoring service can contact the authorities much faster.

There is a 1. 3
megapixel front facing camera for video calling and a powerful 8 megapixel rear camera with dual LED flash. The real aspect that puts this phone ahead of the Droid 2 and Droid Incredible 2 is the connectivity speed the ThunderBolt is now running on Verizon's 4G LTE network. Verizon's rapid 4G network is new and already covers a large number of the major metropolitan areas. For almost all the smartphones you are required to select the $30 data plan, giving you unlimited data, and there is no extra cost if you are running on 4G versus 3G. A neat option is to get WiFi hotspot, this $20 add on allows you to connect up to eight devices, such as your laptop, to your phone's internet so you always have internet on the go. The flip side to having such
quick browsing speeds is that your battery probably will not last you more than two and half hours of 4G use. This has raised a lot of questions as to the functionality of the phone. However, on 3G you can expect to get around eight hours of talk time. Which by all accounts is very reasonable. The reality is you are likely to have trouble getting through the day without recharging.
