Apple Reportedly Developing AI Camera That Sends Text Alerts
Apple is reportedly working on a new kind of home security camera.
Instead of saving videos for you to watch, it may use AI to understand what is happening.
It could send a text message when someone enters a room.
The camera may do its analysis on the device, rather than sending pictures to the internet.
It might also recognize faces.
Apple is reportedly planning a screen-based home control device to work with the camera.
Other rumored products include a new HomePod mini and an upgraded Apple TV.
Apple has not confirmed these plans, so they may change or may not happen.
Apple is reportedly developing a smart home camera codenamed J450, according to Bloomberg journalist Mark Gurman.
The camera could use on-device AI to analyze activity and send text descriptions instead of video.
It may use facial recognition and a low-frame-rate image sensor, without sending images or video to the cloud.
The camera is expected to work with a rumored smart home display codenamed J490.
Apple has not confirmed the camera or its broader smart home plans; an October 13 launch is reported as possible.
