Nest recently announced a revamped version of their Nest Aware monitoring plans, which are more comprehensive in coverage and competitive in price. And the Nest Tags are an ingenious way to disable your security system and are perfect for latch key kids or visiting friends and family. The excellent Nest Hub Max smart speaker and screen can also double as a Nest camera in your home. When paired with a Nest Hello video doorbell with its package detection, person detection, and pre-recorded responses, you've got a powerful porch-monitor. You can make a convincing argument that the Nest Secure hardware and related products are superior to Ring's offerings. They can function as both motion detectors and contact sensors, whereas these are separate sensor devices with Ring (and most other security systems). Where Nest's Detect Sensors really win out, though, is in their versatility. It's also another thing to consider if you don't want to spend a lot of money. Ring includes a range extender in the box, so interference and dropouts should be less of an issue. If you need the Detect sensor to reach further, you'll need to spend extra money on a Nest Connect range extender. Nest says its Detect sensors will work up to 50 feet away from the main Secure sensor, but this can be shorter depending on interference from other gadgets in your home. The range is a big consideration since a sensor that can't talk to other sensors is rather useless. This doesn't even count the plethora of Ring security lights and cameras that can all be connected and controlled with Alexa and the Ring app. Other motion detectors, flood & freeze sensors, smoke and carbon monoxide sensors, and panic buttons are all available, affordable extensions to round out your Ring Alarm setup. The Ring Alarm setup is exceptionally customizable and modular, and you can add additional components depending on your home size and budget. It only includes one motion detector and contact sensor (the thing you wear to tell the alarm to trust you), but buying more of these is well within the $50-$100 you'll save compared to the Nest system. The Ring Alarm starts off being cheaper than the Nest Secure, and will likely still end up being cheaper when all is said and done.
