Wyze has an indoor garage door controller that works with the Wyze Cam v3 (bought individually). The consumer prints and locations a easy QR code on the door (see photograph), and that’s sufficient for the webcam to “see” if the door is opened or closed.
It retails for less than $40, and I just like the simplicity of this extension and the way it’s alleged to work. I haven’t tried one, so I can’t vouch for a way good (or not) it could be, however I like the general precept. In idea, this combo may simply exchange a traditional (proximity) sensor.
You want to check whether it is appropriate along with your motorized storage door opener (extra information within the FAQ).
Wyze claims that that is utilizing “AI.” Sure, however it appears extra like a glorified QR-code reader than something sensible. This may additionally imply that the app may not understand if the door is simply 10% open.
With extra subtle AI, there can be extra potential for AI companies similar to recognizing “people” basically and particular individuals (relations) as different webcam safety companies do.
It’s additionally beautiful to visually verify out of your telephone if the storage door is closed or not, to be 100% sure. Every time the door modifications state, the Wyze app will notify you.
The solely draw back to those uber devices is the potential for hacking, and it’s not 100% assured that hackers may not entry the video feed and even remotely management the machine. That mentioned, criminals usually tend to drive the door than hack it.
This looks like an awesome answer if you wish to have video surveillance within the storage anyway. The competitors is now working onerous to create a copycat.
