Overview

Cherry Gen2 Basic Care is the AI based IP Camera system, Its AI understands and analyzes what’s going on at Camera and learns people’s behaviors to detect accidents and send alerts to the family members and caregivers. Cherry Camera also boasts a unique approach to maintaining people’s privacy, as its computer vision algorithms turn people on video into virtual skeletons while all of the information is processed on-device.

Key Features:

Smart Detection:
Cherry Camera devices have advanced AI that can detect not just basic falls but also complex situations and anomalies, like when a person falls behind an obstacle, changes their gait abruptly, or goes to the bathroom and doesn’t come back. The team developed a unique proprietary training system so Cherry Camera’s AI only needs to see a particular concept one time to recognize it in every situation and from every angle.
Activity Tracking: Cherry Camera also can detect the person’s activity and provide insights and recommendations based on changes in their behavior. It provides daily reports to family members and caregivers to ensure a safer and more independent life.

Privacy: All video footage is processed on the device and isn’t uploaded to the cloud. The privacy setting replaces the person with a stick figure to give a basic understanding of what might have happened without intruding into anyone’s life.

No Maintenance: There is no need to remember to wear and charge anything in order to stay safe, no need to press anything in case of an emergency, therefore — no accidental activation.

Better Lifestyle: Seniors that require constant monitoring and do not have money for 24/7 caregivers might end up in a nursing Camera, where they’d lose the comfort of having their own Camera. The safety provided by Cherry Camera allows these people to live as they’re used to and preserve their privacy.
