Will Google have access to view my cameras or camera recorded footage in any way, shape or form?

Hi all,

 

I have been searching high and low and cannot seem to find a definitive answer on this topic.  My question is simply this: if I sync my Arlo cameras with a Google Nest/Home assistant (specifically one with a screen such as the Google Nest Hub or the Lenovo Smart Clock), will Google have access to view my cameras or camera recorded footage in ANY way, shape, or form?  I just want to be able to use voice commands to instantly bring up live video on these devices, but I don't want to sync it if Google and/or it's affiliates will have access to my cameras.

 

Thank you

 

Austin

Hey austinlijones,

 

Google doesn't have access to the library, and no one outside of the authorized users on the Google Assistant account can start a livestream. We don't allow third-party access to cameras, streams, libraries, etc. outside of those authorized by the user.
