It should be close to where you
come and go.

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
Use an unswitched wall outlet.
Choose an outlet that's not controlled
by a switch, so you don't accidentally

The motion sensor should face front.
Keep it free from mail, keys and anything
else that could block its view
