VIEWING YOUR CAMERAS USING
THE GOOGLE ASSISTANT
You can stream live video from your camera to your TV with Chromecast by asking your Google
Assistant on your phone or your Google Home device. By default, Google Assistant responds to the
name given to the camera in the Swann Security app. An alternate name can also be given to your
camera through the Google Home app. Avoid using any special characters like % and numbers. You
may want to consider changing the name of your camera if this is the case. Use clear, distinct words
that Google Assistant will find easier to understand and that don’t overlap with any other smart devices
in your home.
For example, if your camera is named ‘Kitchen’, you can use the following voice commands with your
Google Assistant:
To start stream
- “Ok Google, show Kitchen”
- “Ok Google, cast Kitchen”
- (If you've multiple Chromecast devices in your home)
“Ok Google, cast Kitchen on [Chromecast device name]”
To stop stream
- “Ok Google, stop”
- “Ok Google, stop casting”
Note: If you’ve renamed the camera in the Google Home app, you can use the new name of the camera
as well as its previous name, when issuing commands to your Google Assistant.
