Wyze cameras can now use AI to summarize your motion events

Wyze has officially launched Cam Unlimited Pro, a new subscription that gives you access to several AI-powered features. This includes Descriptive Alerts — text notifications generated by AI that accurately summarize motion events triggered by your camera. It’s a powerful feature, and one that should give you highly detailed alerts so you can determine if you need to dive into the Wyze app to watch the full video clip.

Recommended Videos

For example, an old alert from Wyze might say something like “Pet detected by Backyard Cam.” With Descriptive Alerts, that’ll change to “Small white dog playing with tennis ball in backyard at 4:04 PM.” It can also give you accurate descriptions of folks at your front door, letting you know if they’ve dropped off a package or delivered groceries.

Essentially, it takes the guesswork out of what’s happening on your property, leveraging AI technology to give you highly detailed information previously unavailable to Wyze users.

Descriptive Alerts is only the tip of the iceberg, as the new Cam Unlimited Pro subscription tier also unlocks AI Video Search. This lets you enter a text phrase when searching for motion events and should let you quickly find any video you’re looking for. That means you can type in “brown UPS truck” and the app will pull up any videos with content matching your description.

Other features include facial recognition for familiar faces, detection for people, pets, vehicles, and packages, glass break detection, multi-cam timeline, Wyze Web View, no time restrictions for live viewing, and cloud storage for your files.

The Cam Unlimited Pro subscription is supported by all Wyze cameras except for Wyze Cam v1, Wyze Video Doorbell v1, and Wyze Cam Outdoor v1. A single subscription covers all your supported cameras, and membership costs $20 per month or $200 per year.

This popular robot vacuum now comes bundled with a cordless vacuum for better cleaning
The K10+ Pro and a cordless vacuum

SwitchBot, a company responsible for a variety of smart home gadgets, launched the K10+ Pro robot vacuum last August. Offering solid performance, a reasonable price tag, and a tiny footprint that reaches areas missed by larger competitors, it quickly became an easy recommendation for budget shoppers. Fast forward to today, and SwitchBot is now offering the K10+ Pro Combo -- a 3-in-1 vacuuming solution that pairs the robot with a cordless vacuum and auto-emptying base station.

Robot vacuums are an excellent addition to most smart homes, but they’re still not a full replacement for traditional vacuums. For example, they can’t yet clean stairs, and sensitive areas of your home are often easier to clean yourself (such as around expensive home décor or underneath desks littered with cables). That’s where the SwitchBot K10+ Pro Combo comes into play, as you can clean these areas with the cordless vacuum while the K10+ Pro handles the rest of your home.

SwitchBot has officially launched two new air purifiers -- the SwitchBot Air Purifier and the SwitchBot Air Purifier Table. Both are equipped with a HEPA filter to tackle all sorts of air particulates and allergens, though the Air Purifier Table offers several additional features that make it a more versatile member of your smart home.

Regardless of which air purifier you choose, you’ll get a capable device that can clean a 215-square-foot space in just over seven minutes. For a larger 1,800-square-foot space, that gets bumped up to an hour. Carrying a clean air delivery rate (CADR) of 236 cubic feet per minute and capable of operating at a quiet 20dB, it should be a solid choice for both standard bedrooms and larger living spaces. Along with a HEPA filter to remove bacteria, the SwitchBot Air Purifiers feature a carbon filter to extract pet odors from the air along with a pre-filtration layer to trap pet fur.
