Spying on Your Pet Has Just Become Easier

Comcast has released a new Artificial Intelligence-powered pet filter feature to its Xfinity Camera that allows customers to check in on their pets throughout the day.

The filter is an addition to their security camera and uses AI to quickly sort through hours of footage to identify only clips featuring owners pets. Customers are able to see their pets at home through an app on their phones.

The product came in response to Americans’ increasing obsession with watching their pets on security cameras while away from home, officials said.
