Keep Smart and Hold Privacy-An alternative solution for home security
On a scale of “The Handmaid’s Tale” to “1984”, how much does your cloud data worry you? Researchers have recently discovered 15,000 unsecured private webcams around the globe, that could be accessed by anyone with an internet connection, raising serious security and privacy concerns.
AI and cloud computing bring with its convenience and simplification of daily life. But when it comes to personal privacy, where should we draw the line?
With AIKEA, there’s an alternative. AIKEA’s Edge AI technology allows all the affordability and convenience of AI without the loss of your privacy. Instead of sending your videos to be computed and analyzed in the cloud, AIKEA’s brings the AI into your home, allowing you full control of not only your data, but also the AI itself.
AIKEA contains all the intelligence you need. It has a Raspberry Pi 4 built-in along with the open-source software, BerryNet, pre-installed.
By default, AIKEA has included an AI designed to detect intruders. If an intruder is detected, an image with the alert will be sent to your Telegram chat or email.
“However, if you know a little bit Python, you can actually do much more,” said Chief Engineer Bofu Chen.
With a few simple commands, you can change the config to ask AIKEA to detect your pets instead of people, or write your own code to leverage the detection results from AIKEA for people counting or tracking, etc.
We may be accustomed to living our life on the cloud, but now we know to the extent that we’ve been dissected and analyzed, it’s no longer an issue of convenience, but one of privacy. With AIKEA, you can start experiencing intelligent AI as it should be, not how it has been used by the cloud.
AIKEA was built to make AI accessible and bring a glimpse of the future without the cloud. For the everyday person, it’s a sitter to keep track of your kids or your pets. For the privacy-conscious, it’s a security guard, making sure your house or your packages are safe. AIKEA is the smart AI kit to put your mind at ease, and your heart at home.
