That seems like a sensible compromise, and if the delivery of on-board AI model updates is in any way similar to the way firmware is updated, then I wonder if those could be rolled in periodically, as well—at Wyze’s option.
Or what about this? Maybe a potential revenue model could be similar to what some companies have done in the past with things like map updates for GPS receivers: You can pay a subscription fee to get updates within the term of the subscription, or you could pay a one-time fee for an update that’s available now. I don’t know if that makes sense with AI detection models. I think in order to make that both useful and attractive to the customer, Wyze would have to demonstrate that there’s a real value to the customer, so even doing something that way would probably cost Wyze more than it’s worth.
Yeah, I recently re-read those, and I’d definitely agree. I think it would serve the company well if everyone at Wyze took the time to read and internally process those again.
The “Detected Events” list (I’m doing full-time recording to microSD without a subscription, just like I do with my Wyze cameras) shows thumbnail images as well as icons that indicate the type of AI-enabled detection that triggered a given event.
I also do that with my Wyze Bulb Colors (using Google Home devices).
You’re welcome!
One of mine is essentially a personal assistant. If I want to add an appointment or reminder to my calendar, I often find it’s easier to just do that with my voice than to open a calendar app or browser tab. It’s also my morning alarm, additional doorbell announcement, and many other things. Sometimes I feel like I’m living in Star Trek times since I can just talk to a computer to get information and make things happen.
