Most home security cameras these days already come with microSD storage, two-way audio, motion detection and night vision, so it’s about time someone offers a more powerful package. If you happen to reside in Japan, then you may want to consider OMRON’s Kazoku Mesen aka Family Eye. Hardware-wise this is just a cute 720p video camera with all of the aforementioned features, but it’s the company’s OKAO Vision technology that really sells it: It’s able to recognize faces, hand gesture, age, gender, expressions (it can automatically take photos of a baby whenever he or she smiles) and even cats plus dogs. Offices and shops can also take advantage of the Family Eye for customer analysis and head counts. Not bad for a ¥29,800 (about $250) kit, except for one slightly unfortunate flaw: It cannot record video, just still photos, so you’ll have to rely on notifications and the app’s live stream feature. We still want one, anyway. Slideshow-327655
