2025 Samsung TVs can monitor your pets and family with inbuilt camera

I have a Samsung TV but not one that does this, thankfully. Neither of my TV's have a camera and if they did, there would be a piece of tape over the camera.

2025 Samsung TVs can monitor your pets and family with inbuilt camera

Samsung's 2025 lineup of TVs comes with a new SmartThings feature called Pet and Family Care as part of Samsung Vision AI.

The Pet and Family Care feature leverages the TV’s camera and microphone to detect unusual behaviour, such as falls and break-ins, and notify you about it on your smartphone. Samsung says that you can also have this feature recognise situations and adjust settings of smart home devices accordingly. For example, you can setup it up to dim the lights when you sleeping turn up the brightness when you wake up.

Our newest TV is a SONY not quite a 50"er and it's maybe 4 years old and it has no camera but does have microphone, but they had SONY's in stock that did, I told the sales rep we didn't want to be spied on. The TV occasionally prompts us to connect our smart phones and or turn on microphone so you can tell tv change channel or volume or whatever, we never turned that part of the tv on, and we don't have smart phones, so our tv is probably reallly bored in our house hahaha.

Creepy and disturbing, but not surprising.

The TV in the BR is an old big heavy thing. Not even digital, so it has a converter box and antenna, and I can connect a DVD to it if I get sick or hurt

Ahhh, mine's an LG that G got us 2 years before he died. Going strong. Listens and watches I"m quite sure. G and I tested it mentioning some odd thing, and watched as ads for that popped up. Mind you it might have been our iPhones listening.

Whatever the overlords of global disorder see, may it blind them permanently -- I watch TV in my PJ's and I'm not one of those women that everyone says, wow look at her, how fit she is! They are more like



so they can just watch me at their peril!!!

I haven't figured out how to connect it to the Alexa so that I can just tell it that I want to watch YouTube or what type of YouTube video.

PLAY ME SOME CHUCK MISSLER NOW! I want to bark in my most authoritarian tone.

But my computer skills are a bit lacking.

The monitor I use is a Samsung that was purchased many years ago. It's one of those that has the curved screen. I've never configured it to access the internet on its own so it probably isn't spying on me. I do have an old laptop connected to it via an HDMI cable. I wonder if it is able to surreptitiously pass information to Samsung or big brother via that connection...

Sorry for the format issues. I was on my cell at the VA and it doesn't quote or do some other things very well
Here's the post the way it was supposed to happen.

Make Alexa read the 1611KJV or the Latin Vulgate to you. Or Late Great Planet Earth. Or some RA Torrey

Probably.
And if so, it most likely certainly does

But will it do windows?
