A home camera you can talk to
Your home understands.
A small glass box 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.
A day at home, with Watchful.
The stove left on, a fox in the garden, Dad's day, the remote, the plants, the party. Turn the sound on to hear it answer.
- Safe at home.“Tell me if the stove is on and nobody's in the kitchen.” “Let me know if an animal comes into the yard.”
- Keep up with Dad.“Let me know what Dad's been up to today.” Lunch at 1, a walk at 4.
- Ask your home.Where's the remote? When did I last water the plants? When did I last wear the blue dress? How many people came today?
It looks good at home.
Clear glass and a soft pink light, smaller than a paperback and lower than a coffee mug. It sits on a shelf next to the things you love, and watches the camera you already have.
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.
Look back. Ask anything.
Your camera has been recording all along. Keep the video for as long as you like, then ask about the whole day: who came by, how long, how many times. Every answer comes with the times and the frames that prove it.
Did anyone visit Dad today?
2 visits today.Yoni at 10:30, for 1 h 20 min. The nurse at 3:10 PM, for 25 min.How long were the lights on in the kids’ room last night?
Until 11:40 PM.On at 9:05 PM, off at 11:40. One stretch.How many times did the dog go out to the garden today?
6 times today.First at 7:12 AM, last at 8:50 PM. Longest: 40 min at noon.
You decide what is kept
Keep video for a day, a week, a month, or not at all. A camera that keeps nothing still watches and tells you; it just can’t look back.
It tells you the cost first
Before a scan starts you see how many frames, how long, and the cost, which is nothing when the box’s own detector can do the job.
Still private
Recordings stay in your home, and the scan runs there too. Nothing leaves the house unless you chose a cloud model to judge the frames.
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. Watchful 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.
It can act, too.
Connected to the things in your home, Watchful does more than tell you. It notices, and the right thing happens.
- Crumbs under the table.The robot vacuum is sent to that spot, not the whole house.
- Someone is up at night.The pathway lights come on before their feet touch the floor.
- Your rules, your devices.Say what should happen when Watchful sees something, the way you would ask a person.
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.
Watchful 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.
