A team of engineers that worked on self-driving cars and helped invent Google Street View wants to help people guard their homes against intruders using the same style of facial recognition that unlocks smartphones.

Lighthouse AI, their startup, on Feb 22 released a home security camera that uses a 3D sensor similar to that found in Apple Inc's iPhone X. The sensor helps the camera recognise the faces of different members of a family and even pets, so it can send out alerts to a user's phone when an unknown person enters a home but avoid false alarms caused by the family dog.
