To improve performance and experiences, Google has introduced camera history as well as video playback features in its Google Home web app which will launch within the next few days.
Google Home web app now lets you download and preview camera footage
Before now, the web interface was only good for managing smart home routines and connected cameras but lacked basic functionalities like camera history and video playback. With the newly announced updates, users will be able to get into their camera’s history, access recorded videos, and download personalized clips from their browsers.
The newly designed Google Home for Web interface is accessible through home.google.com on desktop web browsers. It provides a more encompassing range of tools for managing connected cameras within the Google Home ecosystem. Nest Aware Plus subscribers can view their entire 24/7 video history including downloading custom clips of any length thereby increasing the utility of this web interface.
Public Preview for Google Home’s web interface is already out. Users can test upcoming features earlier than the app’s wider launch. Though the specific changes brought by Public Preview are yet to unravel, Google has indicated that it will include more web-specific functions in the future.
Public preview beta is out for people who want to test the upcoming features
This expansion of the Public Preview program shows how much commitment Google puts into constantly improving its Google Home web interface and providing advanced features to users. Through these improvements, Google hopes to allow users to control smart home gadgets smoothly and easily access camera footage straight from the browser.
With further investments in its web interface, we could expect more enhancements and optimizations for users’ browsing experience thus making interactions with smart devices easier. So watch out for more updates on the new capabilities of Google Home’s web application from the company.
