It is believed that this malfunction occurred because of a bug within the Xiaomi camera or the Google Nest Hub device. Google responded with a statement about the issue where they said they are disabling Xiaomi integrations from Google devices for a short time till the bug is resolved. The user then confirmed that the Xiaomi camera was no longer connected to their Nest Hub device. Xiaomi, on the other hand, gave a statement apologising for the inconvenience caused and said that the issue is now rectified. Xiaomi went on to say that they prioritise users security and that they are aware of the issue where some users were receiving stills not taken through their camera. The company said that the issue took place because of a cache update, which was originally designed to improve the streaming quality. Elaborating on the issue at hand, Xiaomi explained that the glitch only happened because of extremely rare conditions occurring during the integration of the security camera and the Google home hub which took place under a poor network connection. The company assured users that this glitch would not repeat itself if the camera is connected to the Xiaomi Mi home application. Xiaomi reassured users that they have communicated with Google and fixed the issue while suspending service to solve and figure out the root cause and work on its prevention.
