Google I/O is still on, bringing on everything new Google is preparing for us this year. Google officially announced the Nest Hub Max. bringing the Nest Camera and the Google Home Hub together into one device. The Google Hub didn’t have a camera, but the Nest Hub Max has one, and it can serve as your indoor security camera, streaming live the feed of your home to your smartphone.
Having the camera, the Nest Hub can recognize your face when you get home, and it will show you a personalized home page, with suggestions that match your taste, or your upcoming tasks or reminders. This new feature is called Face Match and according to Google, the Nest Hub Max will process all the data locally on the device without anything getting uploaded to the cloud. If you have any privacy concerns about the camera, Google says that you can always know if the camera is working by checking the green light on the Nest Hub Max.
