Yandex has updated its AI camera capabilities, allowing users to interact with video footage using natural language. The new features, announced on July 9, 2026, enable users to ask questions about what's happening on camera, set preset camera positions via voice commands, and configure conditional recording based on detected events. Additionally, users can now search through recorded footage using textual descriptions of scenes, transforming the camera's archive from a passive recording into a semantically searchable database.
