Google Home Upgrade Enables Real-Time Camera Feed Description

A recent update to Google Home introduces “Live Search” for cameras, allowing users to ask questions about what their live camera feeds are currently showing. The new feature uses Gemini’s language model to provide descriptions of live footage from security cameras, smart doorbells, and other devices connected to the platform. This means users can now ask things like “Hey Google, is there a car in the driveway?” and receive a real-time answer based on what their camera feed is currently showing. Live Search requires a subscription to the Advanced plan of Google Home Premium, which costs $20 per month or $200 per year. The update also brings updated models for Gemini for Home, an AI-powered virtual assistant that helps with home automation tasks. With this new feature, users can gain greater control over their smart home devices and receive more accurate information about what’s happening in real-time.
