Nest Guard is a portable motion sensor that goes into a main room or hallway and arms or disarms the system. It has an alarm that sounds if an intruder comes into the home and will alert a user to a potential break-in through an app. Nest Detect devices are placed near doors and windows to track when they are open. Nest Tags are small fobs that users can tap on their Nest Guard to turn the alarm off; they can be set to only work during certain hours of the day for a cleaning person, dog walker or other visitor
