A French company has designed a camera that recognizes faces and tells people if a stranger has entered their home. Many homes now have security cameras that tell owners if someone has entered. But the cameras do not know if the person is a family member, friend, delivery person or a criminal. But a new camera made by a company named Netatmo has facial recognition software that can tell parents at work that their children have returned from school, or that a package has been delivered to their home. It can also tell them if a stranger has entered their home. Janina Mattausch is a product marketing manager for Netatmo. “Current security cameras are not that smart. So, they can tell you if something is moving but they don’t necessarily know if it’s a human being or, ah, if it’s your kids -- they don’t know the difference, so they will alert you all the time.” When family members enter a home, the smart camera “recognizes” them and sends information to the owner’s smartphone. The owner can choose to see the video then or later. But if an unknown person enters a home, the camera will send the owner an alert.
