    One for Saracen's living room

    I guess he has his order in for one of these in every room of his house

    Don't think so!

    I mean he has probably already got Nest cameras to go with the Amazon Echos!

    Google has trained its electronic brain to recognise smiles, human faces, dogs, cats and rapid sequences of movement.

    Hmmm.

    Well, first ..... Google. Big no-no there.

    But the principle of this sort of device .... that's more interesting provided I can 'instruct' the AI.

    So .... "Camera record anything moving in room that isn't <insert family members names', well, that appeals.

    Caveats ... first, I trust the AI to record what it should without missing things and second, not to record what it shouldn't.

    2nd Caveat ... the recorded material is under my, and only my control. This definition includes Mrs Saracen in "my". That is to say, locally recorded and not uploaded to Cloud, and especially not to Google, under any circumstances whatever.

    Within those limits, then the idea of smartcams for security is a very appealing one.

    But not from Google.

    Ah man, thats crossing a line in my book.

    The nature of these ecosystems is trapping you into a cloud provider, to enable "connected services". Just asking for trouble IMO.

    I like alexa & the idea off smarter homes, but cloud connected autonomous cameras, hmm... No.
