02 Nissan Maxima No start, no idea what's going on (Video Included)
 
As the title states, my car just will not start :bawling:. It makes a sound which i'm assuming is the starter motor engaging, but it doesn't even seem like the pistons are moving (don't feel the movement). I have a video, but i've never dealt with anything like this before so i really don't know how to describe it other than what you see. I'll try to answer any questions i can but i'm drawing a blank. My uncle is coming to look at the car in the morning, but i'd like to have some sort of direction or diagnosis to help. I truly appreciate any help

Thanks
Also i forgot to say, i started the car and moved it this morning. But i've been at the hospital all day helping my grandfather, i came home to put it back in the garage and this is what i found :(

The engine is cranking over, but you might try cranking it for more than 2 seconds. Also, try holding the gas pedal down while cranking.

Is the red security light that is in with the clock on solid while you are trying to start the car? If it is, you are immobilized.

I feel dumb for it being as simple as holding the gas pedal down, I was worried I might mess something up so I asked. Thanks for the advice, it started up and I tried it a few more times with no problem.

Battery just sounds a little low to me, glad you got it running
