Apple patents security camera with ‘Bodyprint’ technology: Report

Apple is reportedly working on a security camera that combines facial recognition with a "bodyprint" system to identify individuals based on their face and physical characteristics. The camera would analyze images of a person's body and create a profile linked to their face, allowing it to identify someone even if their face is obscured. This technology builds upon Apple's existing facial recognition capabilities and could be used in future smart home devices. The patent filing follows rumors of Apple's expansion into the smart home market, including the development of a privacy-focused home camera and a central control hub.
