You Can Now Talk to Your Nest Security Camera

If Google made one point at this year's CES conference, it was that it's putting the Google Assistant in all sorts of devices, from TVs to speakers, in an effort to oust Amazon's Alexa as the most important digital helper in your home. Now, the Google Assistant is coming to yet another home device: the Nest Cam IQ indoor security camera. Those who own the camera will have the option to add the Google Assistant via a software update starting Wednesday. Using the Google Assistant through the Nest Cam IQ indoor camera will be very similar to how one would use it through the Google Home or any other compatible device. Owners will be able to verbally ask their Nest camera for the weather, questions about their calendar, and to control smart home devices, among other queries.
