Point is a smart house sitter, build by ‘Form Devices’ company. It listens to the sounds of your home, senses what’s in the air and lets you know if anything is wrong.
It’s for people who want peace of mind—without cameras at home.
Point combines sound and sensor data to recognize events you care about, like windows breaking, alarms sounding, or the presence of smoke.
Small, round and plastic, Point looks like a traditional smoke alarm crossed with a speaker. Sounds are matched with data from the other sensors to figure out what might have happened — a loud crash followed by a drop in temperature might mean a window was broken. It hears when an existing smoke detector goes off and sends an alert, though it’s not certified as an official smoke detector on its own.
It has a microphone that can detect sounds outside that the human ear could pick up. Environmental sensors pick up temperature; the particle sensor can tell what’s in the air.
When Point detects any notable changes, it sends an alert to the owner’s smartphone. The mobile app also shows a timeline of all events, so someone can quickly scroll through the day to see when people were in the home. All the computation takes place on the device; there is no live-streaming audio, no way to eavesdrop on your home and no overwhelming amount of data to sort through.
Point requires no wires. It connects to the internet over wifi and runs on regular replaceable batteries. It comes with a speaker and lights to communicate with people in your home.
