The world is long-tail
• Infeasible to exhaust categories
• Categories are specific to scenes
• Categories vary across users
• First consumer-grade AI platform engineered to democratize
AI model building
• Powered by few-shot learning with just a few examples of
what you want to detect
• Explicit user feedback is used to improve the model, e.g., by
adding more examples. Automatic approach can increase the
usability
• Currently, running on cloud only. It is an interesting topic to
develop a hybrid model using edge, cloud, and app
• It is seamlessly integrated within the Wyze App and requires
nothing more than a Wyze Cam

• False alarm: lots of movements can trigger motion
sensors
• Lack of context: you can hardly tell what triggered
the motion
Motion Sensors are Literally “Blind" and Cannot Really
“See"
17
© 2024 Wyze Labs, Inc.
• Person detection is more precise to set off
the alarm
• Video provides better context for human
verification
• It is also more intuitive to install, as you can
see what exactly the camera is “seeing”
