Smart Home
You can connect your cameras to your Smart Home system and control them using Google Assistant and related products, like Google Home speaker. When you add cameras to the Home system, you can use the Home system to control motion detection and watch a live feed on your TV via Chromecast, Nest display and related products.
How to control your camera
To start/stop motion detection, say "Ok, Google, start my camera" or "Ok, Google, stop my camera".
If you have more cameras, say "Ok, Google, start my camera Kitchen" to start your camera named "Kitchen".
To start/stop streaming the live feed on your Chromecast device, say "Ok, Google, start streaming my camera on Chromecast" or
"Ok, Google, stop streaming my camera".
Streaming currently works only when your Chromecast device and the camera are on the same Wi-Fi.
Connecting your camera with your current Google Home
