Hup AI - a smart home camera with machine vision for $99
Hup AI, a startup backed by Founders, Inc. has introduced a new generation of smart home cameras with computer vision. Unlike conventional cameras, they don't just shoot video, but analyse what's going on around them and help in everyday life. At a price of only $99, these devices promise to turn any home into a smart support system: they recognise people, animals and objects, give signals and even remind you of things to do.
Here's What We Know
This camera is not just a security guard or another IoT device. It can help people with ADHD, autism, or other executive function problems: prompting a routine in time, reminding them of a task, paying attention to an action. The system also monitors the safety of children and the elderly, able to recognise a fall or an alarming moment and immediately send a notification to the owners.
The device is activated by visual triggers, processing data directly in the camera - without transferring it to the cloud. This reduces the risk of personal information leakage, which has long been a sore point for smart gadget owners.
What makes Hup AI different from the competition
Google Nest, Amazon's Ring, or Arlo cost $200 and up, and you almost always need a subscription to use all the features. The final cost would increase several times over. Hup AI has chosen a different strategy: all features work locally, and the app is free and no subscription fees.
How it works in real life
Imagine: a camera notices that a child is sitting on a tablet for too long and reminds them to pause. Or it captures an elderly relative falling and tells you straight away. Is the cat having another late-night marathon? Now you not only have proof, but also a warning of a potential disaster.
In this way, Hup AI turns your camera from a "watchman" into a real home assistant. And all this for $99 - without overpaying or feeling like "big brother" is watching you.
