Google, along with other tech giants like Apple and Amazon, have expanded to many home automation products in recent years. They now have a product called Google Home. What is it? According to Home Alarm Report,
“Google Home is an internet-connected speaker with a virtual voice assistant. Google Home also functions as an assistant via Google Assistant, an evolved version of Google now with the ability to engage in contextual conversations. “
In a nutshell, Google Home is another smart speaker. It functions like a smart speaker would with the user giving commands and it complying to each one. How can Google Home be helpful to working with the doorbell camera? Brinks Home™’s SkyBell video doorbell is Google Home compatible.
SkyBell was first founded in 2013. They have the SkyBell HD for their camera of choice. Aside from Google Home, the camera is compatible with Front point, Link Interactive, LiveWatch, Alarm.com, Nest, Alexa, and Echo. The video resolution goes as high as 1080p HD and the view range goes as far as 180 degrees. Other features include two-way talking, motion sensor, and livestream. Another feature of this camera is that it has an in-app 5x pinch zoom. The downsides are there have been complaints of glitchy motion detection and there is no app for Windows device users. Camera can be found on Amazon.
