hi guys this is Brian Bennett for seen it and right now we're taking a first look at a new product it is called the butterfly it's a smart home camera basically it's a camera that is intelligent enough to know when to record went to not when to capture what's happening in your house and also to snap pictures of pets and also operate as a security device to you know know when someone other than you or your pets and family and friends are in your house it's a very cool device and right now we're taking a look at a prototype of it as you can see it's very small it connects over wireless connection to your home internet and also will reach out to different devices in your home such as smartphones and tablets you can also access the camera and what it's seeing over the Internet in any location as long as you have an internet connection so the butterfly is going to be 199 for early adopters essentially the company is trying to start a crowdsourcing almost like a Kickstarter like crowdfunding campaign via its website and this device should be available by January 2015 so essentially this device is envisioned to be a mash-up between the nest thermostat and the Dropcam baby camera devices that you see deployed in people's homes that have been shipping for a while but this device is actually not envisioned as a sort of an always-on just camera that's operating 24 7 essentially it has a microphone it has sensors built in such as a heat mapping ir device which will enable it to basically know what's happening around it and understand you know when it should be operating when it should be recording it can also snap photos say if your kids if you're doing something goofy or your pets you know if it hears them barking it can tell the difference between a person and your dog your cat and you know sounds like a pretty interesting device now one thing that's nice is that the app which will enable all this smart technology and control of the butterfly is supposed to be available for iOS devices first but Android should also be available soon after that what's also nice about it is that it is wireless and has a rechargeable battery built in so you can put it pretty much anywhere you want you can set it up as a you know anti-theft or a you know security device camera right by your door if you're going on vacation or you can even you know just set it up you know discreetly on a bookshelf somewhere and you know no one will actually see it or perhaps it'll go undetected it's a very interesting device we expect it to you know hit stores hopefully by January of 2015 and they're having folks this has been a first look at the butterfly smart home camera
