AT&T's smart home security system has received a major upgrade by integrating with Gemini for Home. The company announces that its Connected Life platform is the first home security product to work alongside Google Home Premium, unleashing a suite of Gemini-powered capabilities that can summarize household events, search video history, and more.
With this latest software update, Gemini for Home delivers detailed descriptions of events captured by security cameras, such as identifying a delivery person and counting how many packages were dropped off. Users can also search recorded video footage using conversational natural language queries like "What dug up the yard last night?" or "Who let the dogs out?", alongside reviewing daily activity summaries inside and outside the home.

These advanced features are restricted exclusively to subscribers of AT&T's professional Connected Life monitoring plan, which costs 29.99 dollars per month. Alongside the AI integration, AT&T is introducing a feature that automatically arms or disarms the home security system based on the user's proximity to the property.
Bringing Gemini into AT&T's home security ecosystem highlights the smart home industry's shift from rigid rule-based automations toward genuine contextual understanding powered by multimodal AI. Searching security camera logs through casual everyday questions drastically cuts down the time spent scrubbing through hours of footage, setting a new benchmark that competitors like ADT are also eyeing.
AT&T originally launched the Connected Life system last December through a partnership with Google and Abode. The platform is now leveraging Google’s Gemini-powered Home APIs, which allow smart home manufacturers and developers to embed artificial intelligence directly into their hardware devices.
