Get an instant alert to your smart device when anyone triggers the built-in motion sensor. With two-way voice interaction, you can see, hear and speak to your visitor by using the Ring app on your smart device, while noise cancellation technology improves the quality of the audio signal.
The lights can be triggered by the motion detector, or by yourself via the app, which also allows you to sound the alarm or zoom in to focus on a specific area.

What if they get in?
The Nest Cam makes sure that your home is safe by enabling you to check in on your phone, even when you are out.
Nest Cam Indoor looks for motion and listens for sound. If something doesn’t look or sound quite right, it instantly sends an activity alert to your phone.
The home camera will stream Full HD, 1080p content to your phone, tablet or laptop. With the ability to get a 130° wide-angle view of the room, zoom in and enhance, you’ll be able to see every detail.
This is the same day or night thanks to Night Vision LED sensors which let you see the whole room at night with a built-in microphone & speaker. This lets you tune in to what is going on, and talk back via the Nest app.
Even when someone is about to speak, Nest Cam Indoor will chime to get your attention. You get Alerts on your phone.
Don’t make a move!
You might like the Hive Wireless Smart Home Motion Sensor.
It is part of the Hive smart home range. Hive’s motion sensors use Infra-Red technology to detect motion in the home, giving you extra peace of mind when you’re away.
They can send notifications to your smart device so that you are kept fully up-to-date. These motion sensors store a history of events in the app so you can see what happened when. And by incorporating them into ‘recipes’ you can connect them to the functionality of other Hive smart products.
They’re easy to install, just place on a surface or attach with the included self-adhesive tape.Plea se note: all Hive smart home products require the Hive Hub (sold separately) to connect to your home network in order to work.
