At home · SecureProtect and Helios

The end of
watching.

Forty motion alerts a day, and not one of them tells you anything. This is home security when the cameras do the watching, and you just get the answer.

By Temi Akinloye27 September 20265 min read

Open the camera app on most phones and you will find the same thing: a scroll of motion alerts. A cat. A shadow. The neighbour’s car. Somewhere in there, maybe, the one moment that mattered.

So people stop looking. The notifications get muted, the app ends up in a folder, and the cameras keep recording a house that nobody is watching.

jupyter starts from a simple idea. You should not have to watch. The system should watch, understand, and tell you only what matters, in words.

Six senses

It tells a person from a shadow.

The jupyter Hub gives the cameras you already own six AI senses, and runs them in your home. It recognises the faces you add, spots a parcel, notices someone lingering and hears breaking glass.

FaceAIKnows the faces you add, and tells you who it saw, by name.

The SecureProtect app: live view, events and the day’s summary.

Tuesday · 6:10 pm · the kitchen

You are cooking dinner when your phone buzzes once. It used to buzz twelve times an evening: the wind, the cat, headlights on the wall.

What jupyter does. This time it says Elena was spotted at the front door. FaceAI knows the faces you add, so the alerts you get are about people, by name.

In words

Yesterday, in one read.

At 7:30 every morning the Morning Brief tells you how yesterday went, in a few sentences: who came and went, whether a parcel arrived, and whether anything needs you.

Helios tells the day as one story, and flags what is worth a look.

Saturday · 7:30 am · coffee

You have not opened the camera app all week. The Morning Brief arrives with your first coffee.

What jupyter does. A few sentences: a courier left a parcel at 10:32, and someone who was not the courier reached for it and left without it. Tap the word parcel to see the moment.

Just ask

Find anything by describing it.

“Courier with a parcel.” “Someone at the back fence last night.” Type what you remember and jupyter takes you to the moment. No scrubbing through hours of footage.

Ask in plain words. Helios finds the moments.

Thursday · 9:05 pm · the neighbour

Your neighbour texts: did your cameras see who knocked over the bins last night?

What jupyter does. You type someone at the bins last night, and the clip is there in seconds. No scrubbing through hours of footage.

Who is who

Family fades into the background.

Every sighting, from every camera, on every day, is grouped into the person it belongs to. The people you live with become quiet. The face that keeps turning up at the gate does not.

People: every face across your cameras, grouped into one person.

Named

Your family, by name.

Add a face once and jupyter tells you who it saw, by name, instead of motion detected.

Returning

The regulars, and the ones who are not.

The cleaner, the neighbour, the kids’ friends, and the stranger who has walked past three evenings in a row.

Watch list

Draw once. Hear first.

Draw a box around a face in any clip, and you hear first if they come back.

Wednesday · 9:00 am · the regulars

The cleaner comes every Wednesday. After a few weeks, she is simply someone jupyter knows. The man in the grey hoodie who has walked past three evenings in a row is not.

What jupyter does. Returning faces are grouped into people across days, so the regulars fade into the background and the stranger stands out. Draw a box around him and you hear first if he comes back.

Yours

It all stays at home.

Recordings and faces live on the Hub, inside your home. There is no monthly fee for storage or for the six senses, and nothing is sent away to be understood.
