Launched in 2018, the Google Home Hub was the first homegrown smart display from Google. One rebrand and a successor later, though, the original Google Nest Hub has reached its end, being discontinued today.

Your Google Nest Hub Max comes with a built-in Nest Cam. You can use the Nest Cam to check in on your home when you're away with the live view functionality and alerts when activity is detected.

The Nest Secure had... a less auspicious run and a less graceful offramp. It launched in 2017 and was canceled three years later, right after Google invested a bunch of money into ADT. Like the Dropcam, it'll continue to work until April 8th, 2024, but Google would sure like you to upgrade before then.
