Panasonic and Google have agreed to work on home security combining video doorbells and monitoring cameras with Google Home AI and cloud services. Their development objectives include detecting unusual behaviour, tailoring notifications and simplifying operation. Software updates are also intended to improve functions over time. The agreement announces a collaboration rather than a newly launched device.
Panasonic has agreed to work with Google on home security, bringing video doorbells and monitoring cameras together with Google Home AI and cloud services. The collaboration was announced on October 6. It is intended to develop security functions around the devices that capture images at home, with Google’s services providing the AI and cloud connection.[1], [2]
The planned functions include detecting unusual behaviour through video analysis and adapting notifications to household composition and lifestyles. These are two distinct parts of the proposed work: recognising activity in camera images and choosing notifications suitable for the people living in the home. They are company development objectives, without an independently measured security result.[1]
The other development areas cover simplifying operation through cloud connectivity and improving functions with software updates. This would combine the camera and doorbell equipment with services that can change through updates. Panasonic’s announcement describes an agreed collaboration and its intended functions; it does not announce a new security device going on sale.[1]
