In some implementations, the camera 118 or 106 includes sufficient on board processing power to perform all necessary local video processing tasks e. g. , cuepoint detection for motion event candidates, video uploading prioritization, network connection management, etc. , and the camera 118 or 106 communicates with the server system 164 directly, without any controller device acting as an intermediary. In some implementations, the camera 118 or 106 captures the video data and sends the video data to the controller device for the necessary local video processing tasks. The controller device optionally performs the local processing tasks for multiple cameras. For example, there may be multiple cameras in one smart home environment e. g. , the smart home environment 100, FIG. 1, and a single controller device receives the video data from each camera and processes the video data to detect motion event candidates in the video stream from each camera.

Nest devices don't work with Apple HomeKit. The Nest Protect smoke alarm has two power options: wired and battery. You can hardwire it into your home’s electrical grid for uninterrupted power, though this option also uses three AA backup batteries in case of a power outage. The battery powered option functions the same, it uses six AAs instead of three, but is better suited for older homes that don't already have smoke detector wiring in place. If you need technical support, you can reach out to Nest by phone, social media and the live chat service on their website. You can also read through the company's helpful support articles about the Nest Protect, which give advice for buying, installing, controlling and troubleshooting problems, among other things.
