Incarnify has announced the pre-launch of a new home camera that uses technology designed to recognize and understand what it sees in a way that is similar to how people do. The company says this camera is the first of its kind for home use. Its main feature is an ability to not just record video, but also to identify and make sense of what is happening in the room. This means the camera can notice things like a person falling, a pet wandering into a certain area, or a child coming home from school.
The camera uses a mix of smart hardware and software. According to Incarnify, it can separate different objects in its field of view, track movement, and remember patterns. The company says the camera can tell the difference between people, pets, and other moving things. It can also send alerts to a phone if it notices something out of the ordinary. Incarnify believes this will help people keep an eye on their homes in a way that is less likely to give false alarms, which can be a problem with some other home security cameras.
Incarnify says privacy was a key concern when designing the camera. The company states that all video and image processing happens on the device itself, not in the cloud. This means the camera does not send personal images or video outside the home network. The user has control over how alerts are set up and what information is shared. The company aims to give homeowners peace of mind about who can see their footage.
The company plans to start shipping the camera soon and has opened pre-orders for those interested. Incarnify is targeting homeowners who want more than just standard video surveillance. The new camera is being promoted as a way to get more useful information about what happens at home, rather than just streaming video to a smartphone. Incarnify says this camera marks a step forward in home monitoring, where devices do more work to help people know what is happening in their homes. The company expects that this kind of technology will become more common in the future as people look for more useful ways to stay aware of what is going on in their homes.
