Google Refreshes Its Nest Video Doorbells, Security Cameras and Smart Speaker - What You Need to Know
Google integrates advanced AI features from Nest and Gemini into Walmart's Onn cameras, offering full Google Home compatibility at prices under $25, expanding smart home access.
- On October 1, Google and Walmart launched two Onn cameras—the Onn Indoor Camera Wired for $22.96 and the Onn Video Doorbell Wired for $49.86—both available in stores and online with Google Home integration.
- Last year, Google announced it would open Google Home APIs and partner with manufacturers to bring Gemini for Home features to more hardware, aiming to offer Nest-level functions for less than 25% of the price.
- Google is rolling out Gemini Live, which removes the trigger word, and Ask Home lets users search clips or ask queries like "how long was my TV on for last week?"; Gemini features require Google Home Premium, split into Standard and Advanced tiers.
- Budget shoppers gain access to advanced features as Onn devices trade higher-end specs for affordability, offering 1080p and Nest-level Google Home and Gemini integration at less than 25% of the price.
- Google is expanding its hardware push with refreshed Nest Cam and Nest Doorbell lines and a Google Home Speaker for Next Year, following Amazon's recent device refreshes and planning a hands-free Gemini update later this year.
