A home camera you can talk to
Your home understands.
A sphere the size of a tennis ball watches the camera you already own, remembers what it saw, and answers when you ask. Out loud, or as a card on your phone.
See more. Worry less.

Ask it what it saw.
No timelines to scrub through. Say it the way you would to a person in the room, and get a short answer with the clips that prove it.
How it works.
A small computer with eyes, a memory and a voice. It runs in your home, on your network, next to the camera you already have.
Point it at your camera
Any ordinary IP camera works. PromptCam watches the stream, notices motion, and looks closely only when something happens.
Talk to it like a speaker
Questions about the past, the present, or the people and pets in the house. It answers in a sentence and shows you the moment.
Give it standing instructions
"Tell me when the kids are back." "Let me know if the door stays open." It keeps watching so you don't have to.
Private by design.
A camera in your home should not mean a copy of your home somewhere else.
Video stays home
Frames are seen and understood on the device. There is no cloud recording and no account to create.
Away from home, still yours
Your phone reaches your device through an encrypted tunnel that ends at your own box. Nothing in between can read it.
Sharper eyes only if you choose
A cloud model can be switched on for harder questions. When it is, you see what each look costs.
Try the early build.
PromptCam is being built in the open with a handful of homes. The early build runs on a Windows or Mac computer next to your camera, and updates itself.
Alpha software. By installing it you accept the terms: it is a helper, not a safety device, and your video stays home.
