Lighthouse’s 3D sensing, AI-powered camera is now available

What happens if you take a home security camera, throw it out, and head back to the drawing board with engineers from the world of self-driving cars behind the wheel?

That’s the basic premise behind Lighthouse. They’re trying to build a camera that, thanks to its 3D-sensing lasers and a mountain of machine learning chops, has some sense of what it’s looking at. After years in the works, it’s going on sale.

One aspect of Lighthouse thats particularly unique is in how you’re meant to peruse your footage; it’s aiming to be less of a security camera, and more of an assistant.
