The humble home security cam is now ready and willing to choose violence.
NewAtlas.com reports : A big-thinking Slovenian startup has created a curious smart security camera that doesn't just spy on your visitors, but will actively open fire on potential intruders with paintball pellets – or even tear gas rounds – with "ultra high precision." What could possibly go wrong?
Part supersized arcade game part Squid Game, 'PaintCam 'Eve' uses automatic target marking, face recognition and AI-based decision making to identify unfamiliar visitors to your property, day or night.
It then gives an ED-209 style warning to anyone it doesn't know – and if they fail to comply and take off within the time limit, Eve will start firing off paintball pellets that'll mark the intruder for later police identification, while also hurting enough to make it highly likely they'll skedaddle rather than pressing the issue.
If pelting a potential intruder and splattering their clothes isn't quite dramatic enough for your tastes, Eve is very happy to step things up to another level altogether, with the option of frickin' tear gas projectiles
It's like having a trigger-happy squad of riot police on your porch.
