Wyze Cams get person detection with Xnor on-device AI

Wyze offers capable home security cameras starting at just $20, but the feature set isn't on par with cameras that cost ten times as much. Wyze is taking a step closer to the likes of Nest and Arlo today thanks to its partnership with Xnor.ai. With Xnor technology, your existing Wyze cams can detect people and cut down on notification spam.

Wyze announced its work on this feature several months ago, offering a beta for those interested in testing it. At the time, Wyze was working on vehicle detection in addition to people, but it's limited to people in the final version (at least for now). With person detection, you can filter your camera notifications so it doesn't bug you every time the dog walks across the room.

Xnor's technology works locally without any cloud element. So, there's no paying for extra services as you do with Nest, Arlo, and others. The new feature will arrive as a free firmware update today. You'll also need the updated Wyze app to access person detection features.
