Design Details
- Unique Properties
- It has minimalist rounded appearance design and can blend well into the installation environment. The built-in AI algorithm enables it to recognize human shape and pets. By adopting new universal shaft base, it solves the loosening problem after use of traditional universal shaft.
- Inspiration
- Due to the epidemic, people need to protect themselves better by minimizing contact with others. We’re intended to design a camera that can identify people, pets and couriers, and can use mobile phone to view the situation in gardens and doorways. Reduce the risk of being infected by going out.
