Does anyone (and this includes these new Ring cameras) have a home camera solution that is actually SENSIBLY hooked into Apple Focus?
Specifically: when I sleep (or, for that matter, drive) I don't want generic notifications that something moved (which is sometimes animals, and often random electrical nonsense like lights next door going on and off). But I do want notifications that a human is doing something sketchy.
This is not just a request for "AI" and "face detection"; its a request for a TOTAL package that is designed based on real functionality, not checkboxes. So, for example
- if you have face detection (but it's trivially defeated by someone wearing a mask) that counts as you don't know what you're doing
- if you have face detection (but don't have a way to deliver ONLY the person-detection notifications when I am sleeping) then that counts as you don't know what you're doing
Conceptually what users want is just not that hard! We want
- recording of MINOR issues -- because why not?
- notification of MORE SERIOUS issues -- like animal motion, because lots of us like to see animals wandering around the garden at night. But those need to be LOW PRIORITY notifications.
- notifications of SERIOUS issues -- ie human like behavior in places where humans should not be -- that can punch through Sleep or Driving Focus.
Ring, for example, apart from anything else, scores zero because they insist on treating Neighbors notifications, all of them as super-duper-highest priority. And while I like to see occasional reports of coyotes in the street or helicopters overhead, if these are waking me up, well, Ring, that shows that you and I have fundamental differences as to whether you deserve my dollars or not...
