What I would really love is a camera looking out each side of my house and one upwards, looking at both ground and sky. Train it over the span of a year. And then notify me whenever something novel happens. Beautiful sunset? Let me know. Strange car parked in front of my house? Let me know. Neighbours house on fire. Backyard intruder. Flooding. Etc. Anything sufficiently new that the camera hasn’t seen before. Is the…

I am working on something like that. Use computer vision to detect anomaly. If you are interested you can subscribe a newsletter to get notified when the feature is out at ai-cam.app

There are a few other, less expensive kits: AIY Vision Kit from Google, with Pi Zero ($50). Jetson Nano + IMX219 ($90).

That's the Raspberry Pi Camera v2, however. It's also a Pi Zero which has some limited ability to run simple models, but it takes a while. The Vizy has a custom high resolution camera special built for this platform that runs at 120 frames a second, not that it can detect things that fast. It also has a USB C port to connect a Google Coral device.

On the contrary, Google AIY Vision kit has Movidius Myriad 2 (MA2450) DNN accelerator, not just Pi Zero.
