Gabe: Do you want a camera that can distinguish between your children's faces?
How about one secure enough to record your dog walker strolling through the kitchen or
smart enough not to record your spouse and sharing their privacy?
Well, with AI, anything is possible.
Today, we're going to give you the best options for AI home security cameras dependent on
your parameters and personal needs.

If you have any questions about today's review, leave a comment below.
I'll get back to you.
To understand how we evaluated the artificial intelligence in these cameras, Security Baron
looked at the following elements, natural language processing, machine learning, person
and pet detection, and action recognition.
Let's examine the artificial intelligence capabilities of our first camera.
Here, we have the Lynx by Tend Secure.
Now, this smart home security camera comes with 1080p HD video, 2A audio, and astonishingly,
facial recognition technology.
When we bought this, we were really surprised that this little guy could essentially take
a picture of whoever came into your room, allow you to go into the app, put a name in,
and then tell you from then on who was coming in and out of your home, and alerting you
to any unfamiliar faces.
The facial recognition technology on the Tend Secure Lynx is essentially the basis for all
the artificial intelligence cameras we'll see today.
With this camera, you're not going to get perfection.
You're going to have some false alarms.
It may not recognize people that it sees often if they're obscuring their face.
We do want to shout-out to the Tend Secure Lynx for its artificial intelligence capacity.
Next, let's talk about the Canary all-in-one home security device.
Now, the Canary is a great camera just across the board.
You've got 147-degree field of view, your smart platform integration, and artificial
intelligence.
The Canary all-in-one is actual reflective of the industry in general and artificial
intelligence, in the sense that there was a firmware update in 2017 that gave it person
detection capabilities.
Most of the cameras in this market are not facial recognition cameras but rather person
detection cameras.
They'll let you know that someone is in the room even if they don't tell you exactly who
it is.
The Canary does that.
It gained that skill after it had already come out.
Just across the board, it is a solid choice for artificial intelligence.
The next camera we're going to look at, the Netatmo Welcome Security Camera, is a step
up from the two previous cameras that we've seen when it comes to artificial intelligence.
Of course, the Netatmo is a beautifully-designed 1080p shooting camera, but it really sets
itself apart when it comes to artificial intelligence.
What does that mean?
This camera can recognize up to 32 faces.
Most of the people that come over to your house or in your life can eventually be put
into the app.
It will become familiar to it.
It won't even tell you when they've come home or come over if you don't want them to.
If you know you have a friend going to pick up your suit because you're in the office,
it won't bother you and be like, "Oh, snap.
Someone's in your house," because you know that you've sent them over.
It's recognized their face over time.
On top of the person detection, you've got pet detection.
If you have a particularly overactive dog and a slow day in the office, you can watch
the dog go back and forth and get a notification each time that happens.
That's just a nice touch to what we're getting familiar with when it comes to artificial
intelligence.
We understand that it's not all fun, games and pets when it comes to your security camera.
What you really want to know is when someone's entering your home that you may not know.
The Netatmo gives you a notification to your Apple watch or mobile phone saying, "Hey,
this is an unfamiliar face.
Are you sure you know who this is?"
That brings in the human component of you actually looking at the person's face and
distinguishing whether not there's someone you want in your life or just in your apartment.
Now, that human component is actually what helps distinguish Netatmo from its competitors
because it has a Facebook bot.
You can simply text the Facebook Messenger bot, hey, when did the dog come in?
Did the dog walker take out the dog?
Did the dog walker come in the house, man?
Did the dog wands?
When it comes to artificial intelligence, this is a huge step, because it allows you
to integrate something that you are probably already using like Facebook Messenger to know
what is going on inside of your home.
Our last camera and unsurprisingly, top pick for artificial intelligence is the Lighthouse.
The Lighthouse comes with your standard 1080p, a relatively narrow 95-degree field of view.
When it comes to artificial intelligence, they are a powerhouse.
The Lighthouse can distinguish motion between objects like trees swaying in the wind, cars
passing by, the pendulum swinging on your grandfather clock, your dog running back and
forth because it has to go to the bathroom, or your kid running back and forth because
they have to go to the bathroom.
The capacity it has when it comes to the distinguishing between motion is incredible.
The Lighthouse has created its own AI Vision that immediately began to create a very powerful
database of familiarity with your home and the people inside of it.
Of course, I'm saying people, but it recognizes pets even distinguishing between a dog and
a cat.
While I can talk until I'm blue in the face about what the Lighthouse sees, let's talk
about what it doesn't see.
The Lighthouse has some of the most powerful natural speech recognition that we've seen
here at Security Baron.
If I did say, "Hey, did Jimmy come home after 10:00 PM last night?"
the Lighthouse would know.
If you have questions about the absence of someone from a particular period of time,
the Lighthouse will let you know.
I can say, "Lighthouse, did anyone come in the house between 5:00 and 7:00 this morning?"
Lighthouse knows even if you don't.
The Lighthouse is a top camera when it comes to false positives or false negative because
it doesn't let something like a beard or a scarf prevent you from knowing who's in the
home.
No facial obscurity will prevent it from knowing exactly who someone is.
That is one of the things that makes the Lighthouse the best artificial intelligence camera on
the market.
Now, after going through our top picks, you can see that artificial intelligence has a
range of capabilities that can fulfill a multitude of needs when it comes to artificial intelligence.
From the Tend Secure by Lynx with this affordable package and facial recognition technology,
to the more general Canary and it's all in one capabilities, going on to the Netatmo
and its Facebook bot.
Of course, our top pick the Lighthouse and it's all wide-ranging intelligence capabilities.
If artificial intelligence is your primary concern with your home security camera, then
you have to go with the Lighthouse AI.
It checks all of Security Baron's boxes with its natural language processing, person detection,
icon recognition, and machine learning.
Simply put, it's a phenomenal camera and my new best friend.
