Clips is fascinating because it’s so difficult to categorize. It’s not a GoPro or an action cam. It’s not a security camera. It’s not as good as your phone at taking high-quality pictures.

Clips then watches everything it sees in its 130-degree field of view, and records little seven-second moving images of stuff it finds interesting. It learns faces over time and tries to take more photos of those people and fewer photos of strangers. It can also recognize pets.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
