Google Home Display Adds 3-Hour Camera Recording, Reviving Nest Hub Max Feature

Summary
Google Home app code shows the upcoming Home Display can use a built-in camera for event recording and live monitoring, marking the clearest feature leak yet for the long-rumored device.
3 hours of event history would be free by default, while Google Home Premium would extend that to 60 days of event history and 10 days of continuous recording.
The camera appears to work like a Nest Cam setup, and the display’s microphone could also log sound-triggered events; users could disable recording and keep only a live feed.
Local-law prompts in the code suggest the screen may need to show a notice when video recording is active, underscoring privacy requirements around the feature.
The leak points to Google’s first dedicated smart display in years, though it comes from an APK teardown and may not reflect final shipping features.
