The Nest app will tell you how to install and set up Nest Guard,
Nest Detect and Nest Tag. Here are some tips to get started.
Where to place Nest Guard
28-42 inches
(0.7-1.2 m)
Use an unswitched wall outlet.
Choose an outlet that’s not controlled
by a switch, so you don’t accidentally
turn off Nest Guard. The included bracket
helps keep Nest Guard plugged in.
It should be close to where you
come and go.
So it’s easy to access on your way
in and out.
Make sure it’s at the right height.
Put Nest Guard on a table or low shelf so it’s
easy to reach and its motion sensor can see
the room. It must be between 28 and 42 inches
above the floor.
Find a spot with a good
Wi-Fi signal.
Nest Guard needs a Wi-Fi internet
connection so it can send alerts
and notifications to your phone.
The motion sensor should face front.
Keep it free from mail, keys and anything
else that could block its view.
