StoneStarting pet technology known for automatic feeders and filtered taps just started its latest product, Ai-Powered Scout Smart CameraDesigned to provide pet owners in real time knowledge of their fumse activities and behaviors.
The detector is similar to other pet cameras on the market. It monitors your pet in real time and has two -way sound, allowing you to contact them if they get into bad. THE Companious Application for Mobile It allows users to control camera movements, although the camera is also designed to detect and automatically follow their pet as they move. It can also make a noise to draw their attention if you can’t find them.
What sets this device, however, is AI’s capabilities.
Scout uses pet identification technology to monitor various activities, such as when your pet eats (which is useful if they chew things that should not) drink water, use the trash box or just walks on the screen. It also records the surprise of your pet’s self when they are detected and provides daily moments, storing clips in the cloud with a 30 -day history.
In addition, Scout can recognize multiple pets, allowing it to monitor its activities separately. Users can currently define individual profiles for two pets in the application.
“Early, our models fought to say pets that were in many pets, which we knew needed to have many pets households in multi -pet pets. Traditional face recognition failed when pets moved quickly or common.
A standout that I appreciate as a pet owner is that the device is not just notifying you of your pet’s activities. It also provides cute descriptions. One of my favorites during the tests was: “Zelda walks calmly on the glittering floor, her nose has shown forward as she explores her environment with a gentle curiosity.” How adorable is that?
Another way in which Petlibro’s Scout camera stands out is his ability to share devices with up to five other family members and friends.
If you are interested in testing the device, it is priced at $ 100. There are many subscription plans available. However, to access the AI features, you can choose either the standard level, which costs $ 12 a month or the premium tier, for $ 17 a month.
Another pet camera company, FURBO, offers a similar device that includes an AI “nanny” assistant for $ 7 a month. The camera itself is valued at $ 210.
While Petlibro’s Scout camera is priced lower than Furbo’s, today does not have a key feature on Furbo’s offer: the ability to detect and warning owners to bark sounds. Petlibro works actively to add it, along with Meow detection, which can broaden its appeal, as Furbo is mainly available to dog owners.
In addition, the Scout device does not have a food distributor, but Petlibro plans to integrate AI’s capabilities with selected feeders and fountains, with the aim of diversifying the growing range of products from its competitors.
It should be noted that the company’s privacy policy shows that its system collects image and videos captured by the camera for use in improving the device, including AI features. Other smart cameras, such as Google Nest and Amazon ring, They also tell their privacy policies that they collect user data to improve their services. Scout does not use sound in any AI training or processing.
Petlibro explained to us that the data collection is to create corrections for individual user cameras. Data is treated in accordance with privacy laws.
“Essentially, users train their own camera with their pets so that the more they use it, the better it will take. For example, if I say scout in the app, allowing this puppy as a max, but it is really penny, it improves future accuracy,” a company spokesman also explained to us.
This story has been updated to include additional information about data collection.
