LIGHTHOUSE
Smart security cams can be nervous nellies sometimes, pinging you alerts about the movements of your friendly housefly. Lighthouse claims to be smarter than this, using a combination of 3D mapping and machine learning to tell the difference between people, pets and specks of dust. This, in theory, means fewer false alarms and some next-level voice search features. You can, for example, ask “What did the kids do while I was out yesterday?” and get the relevant video footage. Throw in night vision and a siren, and you’ve got a robot bouncer – minus the power trips and bants. US$299 / light.house
