Wyze’s AI can now search your camera footage so you don’t have to

Wyze is introducing a new AI search feature for its Cam Unlimited subscribers, allowing users to search through footage using keywords. This feature can help identify specific events, such as a pet knocking over a planter, by searching for keywords like "cat" or "planter." The feature is still in testing and may produce some inaccurate results at times. It is available to Cam Unlimited subscribers who pay $9.99 per month. Other companies, like Google and Ring, are also working on similar features for their smart cameras. Google's Gemini feature will allow users to search their Nest camera footage for specific events, while Ring is preparing to release a similar feature. However, Wyze has faced security issues in the past, so users should be cautious when requesting access to the feature. The AI search feature can be requested through Wyze's website. It could save users time by eliminating the need to rewind through all recorded events or activity picked up by cameras. This feature could potentially become a standard for smart cameras in the future.
