The Google Home app has received an update that broadens its support for third-party security cameras. Users can now view live feeds from a wider range of brands directly within the app, alongside existing Nest and Walmart camera integrations. This addresses previous inconsistencies in support for various camera manufacturers.
The update specifically names Eufy (by Anker), Tapo (by TP-Link), Wyze, Reolink, and Nanit as newly or more consistently supported brands. While some of these brands had partial integration before, Google indicates this update aims for more robust and reliable functionality within the Home app.
Beyond expanded third-party support, the update introduces several quality-of-life improvements for camera users. A new 'Save clip' shortcut allows users to download event recordings from Nest and Walmart cameras more easily. This feature is accessible via a three-dot menu next to any recording in the event list.
For Google Home Premium Advanced subscribers, AI-generated event summaries are now available directly within the full-screen camera view, providing quick overviews of recorded incidents. Additionally, the main camera view now defaults to the timeline or event list, and the app supports auto full-screen in landscape mode when watching a live feed.
