Camect Smart Camera Hub Coming Soon

[Guest_Jim_*]

For those of you who secure your property with cameras, or are considering doing so, there is a new product coming soon that may interest you, and later this month Chris will have a video review of it out as well. Camect is a smart camera hub that is a bit different from other security camera systems as it is not tied to proprietary camera systems, applies AI to detect objects, and keeps all footage local, though you can enable cloud backup if you wish. Captured video can still be accessed over the Internet even without the backup, but it is not uploaded to remote servers outside your control, and for two cameras, this worldwide access is free. If your security system uses additional cameras and you want to view more than two of them remotely, then there is $60 a year subscription fee.

The Camect works by first searching for video feeds from security cameras on your network and then aggregating those feeds onto its 1 TB of expandable storage. While the average home security system will have five cameras, it is able to handle about twelve 1080p cameras, of average scene complexity, so you should have some room to expand your system if you wish. The feeds from these cameras are also analyzed with a deep learning algorithm to identify the activity captured, and depending on what it is, you will be alerted. By providing feedback to the device on these notifications, it can improve its model and become more accurate, so it will let you know when a package is being delivered but not when a squirrel runs by. By providing the system public camera live streams found on YouTube, the company has created a demonstration of these alerts that you can find here: Camect Alerts Demo.

Presently there is an IndieGoGo page for Camect where you can pre-order a unit for $299, down from the usual $399 price, or $549 with lifetime service that would normally cost $1149. They are expected to ship in January 2020.
