Google has implemented many security features into its devices, but thanks to a new partnership with ADT, the company may have a dedicated security lineup.
Google has recently made many security-focused changes to its lineup, some of the most notable of which include a Nest Cam built into the Nest Hub Max. On Monday, August 3, Google announced another major breakthrough: A long-term partnership with ADT. According to the press release, the partnership is for the purpose of creating “the next generation of smart home security offerings.” Google has invested $450 million into ADT to acquire 6.6% ownership, and both companies will commit $150 million for co-marketing, product development, technology, and employee training. The goal of the partnership is to provide customers with integrated smart home technology through both DIY and professional installation. It’s especially beneficial for Google, given that its own DIY home security system solution, Nest Secure, lacks the depth of sensors and accessories found with ADT’s system.
