Smart Home Setups - Nest IQ Security Camera! #Helpful Post

over the past few weeks you may have

noticed a new shooting set up if you did

you are correct and the reason for that

is I moved now with that I kind of have

this blank canvas in front of me to

build out my dream smart home set up I

thought it'd be cool to document the

process and take you along for the ride

so part two is going to be all about the

TV all about the audio super excited for

LG 65 inch 4k OLED and potentially even

more excited for a pair of speakers

coming from folk L that has me drooling

just thinking about them today though

part one is going to be the foundation

the groundwork internet Wi-Fi security

because of that I reached out to nest

mask they'd be down to send out a couple

of their brand-new Mets IQ cameras they

said yes I said you are awesome so huge

seller to them for sponsoring episode

one you also know what that means so for

your chance to win a nest IQ of your own

details are down below and if you're

down with that let me know by dropping a

like as far as the internet goes it's

kind of good a little bit of a roller

coaster initially I was trying to get

frontier aka used to be Verizon they

hold the key to file it wasn't going to

be anything crazy about a hundred up

hundred down and I'm sure I'm going to

hear about some of your insane internet

speeds in the comments section below but

ultimately after going back and forth

for two weeks I found out there were no

open ports and I would essentially have

to go on a waiting list and who knows

how long that would have taken so

ultimately what I ended up doing was

going with spectrum who weren't quite as

tasty on the upload speeds we're looking

a hundred down and 10 up which does make

me slightly sad just thinking of that

hundred up within arm's reach but

ultimately after felt like a caveman for

two weeks without internet I am just

happy to be connected now source wife I

went with Google Wi-Fi which comes in a

pack of three and the reason for that is

the layout of the house is to restore

ease technically though the first story

is just the hallway and extra calories

burned to get to the living room because

that the router lives on the second

story I wanted to make sure there were

strong consistent Wi-Fi upstairs and

throughout the house Google Wi-Fi works

as a mesh network with different access

points to give you that solid consistent

signal there's a few different brands

that make very similar things but for me

Google Wi-Fi has worked perfectly and I

have zero complaints pop it over because

that's like you though this is where

things get really cool if you're found a

tech this is one of the coolest gadgets

you can put in your house now it makes

my geek art happy is inside the nets IQ

is a super crispy 4k sensor you pair

that with the 130 degree wide angle lens

night-vision HDR and that is a killer

combination the window 4k sensor works

though is actually kind of genius it's

not outputting

okay because one now would eat up extra

bandwidth and two would be harder on

your system to string smoothly but

rather it's very similar to shooting a

video in 4k and then output it into a DP

you have to go to punch in crop and

overall everything is just extra sharp

it takes that one step above and beyond

though is when the hardware works with

the software so Ness is actually smart

enough to decipher the difference

between just motion and a human being

and when it spots a human it will

actually lock onto them crop in and

follow the movement which is crazy

what's cool though is because of the

software base if you're looking back at

old footage and it's locked in and

following that person you still have the

ability to zoom out and see the entire

field of view now full disclosure as you

know Ness was awesome enough to sponsor

my home setup but no joke because they

work so well I got a couple more for the

office in addition to the security they

have also become the old cement behind

the scenes camera

now speaking of software one of the

craziest features on Ness IQ is face

recognition and it works really good so

the way it works is one nest like you

see the face doesn't recognize it

instantly sends you a notification

saying hey there's an unfamiliar face in

your spot from there you can kind of

then create a database of whose faces -

and then from now on it will let you

know when that person enters the room I

do wish there was an ability to turn off

familiar faces and then only receive

notifications for unfamiliar faces I did

reach out to desk and they are working

that potential in the future study is

good news but either way it works

lightning fast to demo that over here in

the office I added my face I added

Rich's face I'm going to call Ralphie to

come over in a real time you're going to

see how fast it works

hey what you're doing come to being rich

ok Ralphie just entered the room take a

few steps this way look up there your

cameras spotted if someone it doesn't

recognize

look man over here hey let me mug hold

on hold on hold on that's very good yeah

I guess that's a clean face right there

man

do you know this person uh yes yes

hey just sent me a notification for a

familiar face Ralphy which also comes

through on an Apple watch so there was

kind of a real-world example of not only

how quickly it works but also how well

it works immediately when Ralphie came

in it had no idea who he was and let me

know that but as soon as I added his

face it instantly knew who he was we all

know what's also cool is you can now

talk and listen through the nest like

you so I'm gonna send rich over to the

nest IQ right now it sees you rich

don't break yourself so as you're

looking at this Ness footage hopefully

rich is it making it too shaky but not

only can you see the wide-angle view but

you can also see how to adjust on the

fly

night vision works extremely well to the

point where things can be pitch-black in

the room and you can no joke see

everything that because that's IQ is

plugged in at all times you essentially

have 24/7 live streaming that you can

access at any given moment now if you

want to archive that footage you have to

subscription options which we either go

back the last 10 days or all the way up

to the last 30 and details on that are

down below all in all though I think

that's IQ as the result of one great

Hardware meets great software because

both ends of the spectrum are equally

satisfying if you've been looking for a

smart home camera and you want the

latest cutting-edge tech the best IQ is

an awesome choice this is Jonathan and I

will catch you guys later
