New Talking Security Camera Has Robot Gun to Shoot People With Teargas
The home panopticon is approaching, and apparently it'll be able to detect people with AI, scream at them, and then shoot them with either paintballs or teargas.
Known as "PaintCam Eve" — or EVA, depending on which part of the website run by the Slovenia-based OZ-IT's startup you're checking out — this autonomous camera is a "vigilant guardian that doesn’t sleep, blink, or miss a beat."
According to its website, the autonomous camera has three levels of fanciness — Eve, Eve+, and Eve Pro — that progressively allow users to turn their cameras on and off, detect animals, and at its most powerful detect faces.
In a very strange promo video narrated, seemingly, by a female voice pretending to be the camera itself, OZ-IT boasts that its Paintcam is "equipped with an integrated paintball launcher" — which, of course, is another term for "paintball gun" that also, it seems, can shoot teargas too.
"You are identified as a non-authorized personnel," the camera is heard shouting at a grinning would-be robber in the video. "You have five seconds to leave the property."
