Apple Is Reportedly Building A Smart Home Camera That Won't Record Video Footage Of You Or Anyone Else
Apple is reportedly developing a smart home security camera that uses AI to analyze movement without recording video footage. The device is intended to provide security notifications while addressing consumer concerns about privacy and over-surveillance.
Why it matters
This product reflects a shift in the smart home market toward privacy-centric AI, prioritizing data analysis over traditional video recording.
The device will apparently use AI to analyze activity in your home without actually filming it.

But unlike its many soon-to-be rivals, this one somewhat bizarrely won't actually record video.
