- [Woman] Atlas, are you ready for an epic storm?
The storm of the year, perhaps?
We wanna be sure we catch this big tree back here
if it falls because it might fall (laughs)
Cory's really hoping it does.
We have been working the past several weeks
on getting our home setup as a smart home
and today's video is actually sponsored by U.S. Cellular.
They have a sweepstakes going on right now
where you can win $10,000 towards smart home technology.
- Whoa! (thunder crashing)
That touched down.
(thunder crashing)
- If you have been watching our vlogs,
you know how I feel about the storms in Oklahoma;
I love them!
You also probably know how I feel about sweepstakes,
love them more than storms.
- Oh my, whoa, woo!
(cat meowing)
- [Woman] What do you think Sparta, pretty crazy storm?
Yeah, you look a little worried
which has me a little worried.
- I'm a little afraid now, I'm not gonna lie.
I feel my, my chest just went up into my throat.
- What do you think?
Oh, okay, it's okay, it's okay.
No need to be scared.
(thunder crashes)
- The power, did the power just go out?
- Okay, this storm is getting crazy.
Our power keeps flickering on and off.
The wind is picking up, the skies are
super super dark.
(thunder crashes)
- That just shook the house.
I felt my back shake.
(thunder crashes)
- Whoa. Oh my goodness, oh.
Whoa.
That was loud.
That was loud one, wasn't it?
You're okay.
It's lightning and thunder.
It's very very, I think it's neat.
It's super loud though.
- I think it's so funny that I'm using
our home security camera, one of our smart cameras
to record this awesome storm.
But that's what's great about this
I can easily just put this back up
on the wall if I wanted to
like these cameras cane be moved, shifted
like, just easy.
- Alright, check this out.
This is the weather thing we used to have, right?
So right now it says that it's 74, 75 outside
not raining, it says it's just cloudy
no big deal right?
Well we all know that's not true.
But if I say, Hey Google, what's the weather
forecast right now?
- [Google] Today in Tulsa it'll be stormy
with a forecasted high of 89 and a low of 72.
There is currently a severe thunderstorm warning
in effect.
- That was true.
So there you go.
That, our smart home, tells me exactly
what the weather is accurately.
(frog croaks)
(makes frog sounds)
(frog croaks)
(makes croaking sounds)
- Frog over there.
(makes frog noises)
(frog croaks)
(window knocks)
Hi, how are you?
(makes ah noise)
(makes kissing noise)
Love you.
Alright, I'm back in the house
and that was awesome.
And scary, it was so scary, oh my gosh.
Couple of times, my, I felt my lungs
were in my throat, I was like
(makes groaning noise)
Like, I thought the lightning was just gonna like
hit right here in front of me
and I was even afraid a little bit that it might hit me
even though I was undercover.
I mean, not to say that I was like,
doing something dangerous
I feel like I was okay enough.
That wasn't too bad was it?
- No, that was probably the best storm
I've seen in along time.
(laughs)
That was awesome. - I was talking about
me being under the cover.
- Oh. - You think I was okay there?
- Yeah, I think you were okay. - [Cory] I like the word think
in that sentence. - Yeah.
- So this is the Nest app, and what I think
is really cool about this app
is that you can see all of the cameras
around your home in real time.
1080p with sound, and you can actually talk back.
Not to mention they also have motion sensor capability
and you can select the areas
where the motion sensor is active
so that is super cool. So if I wanted to say, if I wanted to
talk to somebody in the movie room
and they're watching a movie, I just click there
I hit talk, start talking, and they can hear me
it's super neat, and if I turn my phone to the side
like this, then there is a 1080p view of the room,
so I can watch Chell when she's watching movies and stuff.
I think that is super super neat.
Another great use for this system
is if you have kids.
If you have kids, you can essentially use this
as a baby monitor.
For example, say your kid wakes up
super early in the morning
and you're not quite up
this will actually send you a notification
to let you know that your kid is up
and making noise and moving around.
And how I have it set up is I have a square
that's placed over this bed
that basically tells the camera, hey,
don't wake me up if anything moves here.
Because everybody moves in their bed
when they're sleeping at night
but if she makes a loud noise, or she gets out of bed
I get notification.
And another cool thing is, I can actually
go back in time to see how she's sleeping at night.
Check this out.
It is 9:41PM and you can see her Grandpa, Grark
is putting her to bed, which is super super sweet.
So now I'm just gonna take my finger here
and pull it down and move time forward.
As you can see, the time is moving
and Chell starts moving in bed, just a little bit.
You know, tossing, turning as people do when they sleep.
And then you'll actually be able to watch the sun come up.
There it is, the sun's up, and then she starts
waking up around, what time this morning?
Oh, she's not up yet, she's not up yet, there she is
right there, so, right here.
See that little box?
That is a notification to tell me that Chell
was starting to move around
so she woke up this morning at 8:21.
How cool is that?
Now check this out.
I lost my keys earlier today, and I used this app
to find my keys.
Okay, so all I did was I went through
and I found the last place that I could
see myself holding my keys.
Okay, so here I am walking with my keys.
I'm turning 'em as I do when I walk.
I used to be a manager at a movie theater.
That was a lot of years ago, different life.
And there I am, walking back with my
right arm up, so clearly I'm holding my keys.
Then there I go, upstairs, still holding the keys.
So then I walk into Chell's room, keys are
clearly in my hand, and I'm looking around
for the wipes, I couldn't find the wipes
'cause I've got a crying baby
and that's where I put the keys, I just put it on the bed
so I can grab the wipes, and in the meantime
I thought, well, hey, since I'm going back downstairs
I'm gonna grab some clothes.
So I grabbed a whole bunch of clothes
because I'm totally ADD, and then
I essentially just left the room.
There's a lot of great uses for this
but yeah, I just had to show you that
'cause it was kinda dumb.
And that's what prompted me to show you
all of that, 'cause (laughs) my brain.
So this one we have in the kitchen is pretty cool too.
You know, we've gotta view of this area over here
with this area, and we can see here.
And it's great for child safety because
in this area, obviously we have knives in some drawers
well, they're, you know, not like knive knives
but there's still like butter knives.
And then we've got the stove over here
so it's like, keep an eye on Chell
in other rooms.
I mean, really we should be watching her
but there are some times when we just can't
be right there, right then, you know?
- Like when this guy needs a new diaper.
- [Cory] Or you're going to the bathroom and you're alone.
- Oh, yeah.
- [Cory] (laughs) Yeah, have you not done that?
- No.
- I watch you all the time.
- [Kristen] You creeper.
- I do.
But actually, what's really nice about these
is if somebody's watching you, the light will blink.
And you can change that, like you don't have to have
that light blink if somebody's watching you
but for the ones that are outside, so you've got
like intruders or whatever, you don't want
the intruders to see the little light to say
that it's on.
Here's something else that's really cool about this.
Say you want to capture a moment
you want to keep it, for example
right here, I'm dancing with Atlas
kinda bouncing him around, and he's smiling
and he's almost giggling, I wanna save that
so all I've gotta do is come down here
to new clip, and it says adding clip to your Nest Account.
Give it just second, and there we go, all I have to do now
is click on Save to Camera Roll
and it saves it straight to my phone.
And there it is, right there.
Boom.
(makes baby noises)
Chell, we're gonna catch you doing funny things
when you get older.
So many funny things, you're gonna be so funny
you're gonna do weird things and we're gonna
capture it and we're gonna share it with the world.
Alright, I'm done talking about the features of this stuff.
- [Kristen] (laughs) Nerd!
- I can't help it, I love.
Okay, I'm not gonna lie guys, when we got this stuff in
I was like, I wanna talk about it now.
How can you deny that it's cool?
- It's awesome.
- It is amazing.
- Yeah. - It's super, I've always
wanted a smart home, and I've
always thought as a smart home as like
something that like, you have to spend a lot of time
to get it built into your home and stuff
but this stuff is just like, plug and go.
- You know my two favorite things about it?
One, I don't, did you tell them we have camera outside
so when like, delivery trucks pull up
we can see them and answer the door
before they wake up the kids.
- Because it sends you a notification.
- Yeah. - When somebody passes
the line. - It's awesome.
But my favorite thing is, I feel like
we both walk by the cameras and do like
kooky stuff all the time.
Just to do it (laughs)
(upbeat music)
- Okay, stop talking about features.
- Ssh.
- We're not spoken.
(baby cries)
Let's talk about you.
What's going on with you?
- Instead of talking about all the fun features
let me tell you how you can enter to win
10,000 dollars towards a smart home of your own.
U.S. Cellular has the sweepstakes going on right now.
If you go to smarthomesweepstakes.com, you can enter to win.
One grand prize of 10,000 dollars, and.
- And, 10 other people get a thousand dollars.
- That's right! - That's still a lot
of equipment. - It is.
- Hey Google, play music.
- [Google] Alright, music on Google Play Music.
- [Kristen] Good job!
(music plays)
- That wore me out, dude. My quads are burning.
That was exercise.
Anyways guys, hope you enjoyed today's vlog.
We are gonna go ahead and say goodbye.
Look forward to lots more amazing videos in the future
especially with all this great technology we have.
More cameras means more opportunities
to capture greatness, and I am super excited for that so.
Do the sweepstakes, I'm telling you
it's so worth it, and it's free.
I mean come on.
Thank for watching guys, we'll see you in the next one.
Goodbye.
