Overview
- Two kits are on sale: a $399 Starter bundle with a Nest Doorbell, Abode hub, motion sensor, and two contact sensors, and a $699 Advanced bundle that adds more sensors, a keypad, key fob, and a battery Nest Cam, with Google confirming these are not its latest models.
- Service plans cost $10.99 for Essential features like 30‑day video history, smart alerts, and cellular backup or $21.99 for Professional monitoring by Abode with emergency dispatch, offered month to month with the option to pause monitoring.
- Eligibility requires an AT&T wireless or home internet account, and hardware can be financed at $11 or $19 per month for 36 months instead of paying upfront.
- Google Home APIs power the integration so, after initial setup in Google Home, cameras and sensors can be viewed and managed in the Connected Life app.
- Resilience features include cellular failover that routes traffic through a user’s smartphone hotspot and a hub battery backup, and customers can keep devices if they cancel but lose event history, intelligent alerts, and backup.
