IT Home reported on October 19 that Bloomberg reporter Mark Gurman said in the latest edition of his Power On newsletter that Apple is developing an indoor camera, internally codenamed J450, that can use AI to analyze its surroundings.
IT Home has learned that the camera has a low-frame-rate sensor and an infrared sensor and supports technologies such as facial recognition to identify people or pets. Users will receive text descriptions of their surroundings rather than video footage. The product's core design concept appears to center on privacy protection, making it unable to record private scenes inside the home.
Gurman believes the camera is expected to launch sometime next year. The product is also not part of the Home Collection accessories announced on October 13.
In addition, Apple may wait to see how Home Collection products sell before deciding whether to launch smart home hardware under its own brand.
