CCTV News: For security reasons, some people will install alarms and surveillance cameras at home. However, a set of home security systems owned by Google recently made users feel "unsafe". What is going on?
The device is a home security system from a smart home company owned by Google that includes a console, two magnetic cards and two sensors. When the system is turned on, if the sensor installed on the door and window detects signs of motion in the house, the console will issue an alarm; the user can also control the system on his mobile phone through the application.
The security system was released as early as September 2017, but it wasn't until early February that Google announced the update of the system that users discovered the problem. Originally, the function of this update is to allow users to control the system using voice through the Google Voice Assistant on the mobile phone. This means that the security system must have a built-in microphone to receive the voice signal, and the user never knows the microphone. The existence of Google, did not point out this information in all product descriptions.
On the 19th, a Google spokesperson accepted an interview with the US "Business Insider" website and admitted that the main console of the security system does have a built-in microphone. The main purpose is to add voice control and detect abnormal sounds in the home in future updates. The spokesperson said that it was wrong to inform the user that this information was not available, but Google has never opened these microphones.
Despite this, many users are still angry at Google's behavior of concealing product information, and worry that their privacy has been leaked due to the existence of these microphones.
