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

Just a sinner saved by grace.
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.
www.sammobile.com
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.
 
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
:runaway:


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 :headbang:
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 :stirpot:

There is a lot of stuff on TV we don't want to watch, and it is 1 less bill. We can watch free movies on our computer. TT doesn't have TV either.

I just find that interesting, because compared to what you can access on the internet, makes TV look like a saint.

We dont watch during the day, but there are several shows we record and watch the next night so we can avoid commercials.

Totally get the one less bill aspect.
 
That's why I only have broadcast/antenna TV. The internet plan includes streaming and some other stuff, and loads of free stuff online, and Amazon Prime has some free streaming, etc. DVDs of some stuff I'd want in the event censorship limits/prevents access to same.

Living without TV was one of the best decisions I ever made. My life has been richer for doing without TV programming.

This is what I dont understand - whats the difference from having a TV, or spending a few hours a day on your computer where you watch movies?

My wifes cousin also do not have a TV, but thats mainly because when they did, the husband would spend hours a day in front of the TV.
 
No idea if my TV watches me but it is welcome I guess. Nothing very interesting goes on in my living room except me mumbling things like "guess it's time to fix breakfast". lol Or maybe it watches me reading my Bible and doing some singing which is ok at times and isn't so good if I am not feeling well. Either way, I am singing to please the Lord, not the TV spies. All of which now makes me wonder if it watches when it isn't turned on or only if it is on? Hmmmm the great and fascinating wonderings of earth shaking things.

I guess in both cases you're sitting in front of a screen, hopefully being entertained. A person who has had a tv most or all of their lives most likely can't understand how poor the quality of programming is. Over the decades it's gotten worse and worse. Programs are so full of libtard bias, indoctrination, exposure to deviancy, propaganda, etc. I only know that from when I visit family and they've got the tv on in the evening. I've seen the decline over the decades, seen it go from bad to horrible. The changes have been insidious. I don't believe a person who spends some time watching tv programming most evenings sees how bad it is because of constant exposure over time. Then there is the news... pure propaganda and indoctrination. Talk shows? I could never listen to talking heads, but those seem to be real popular. Sporting events? I've got no skin in that game. Movies made for tv are quite a bit different than movies made by the studios for the big screen, though now many are made to be streamed, but the budgets tend to be massively larger than budgets for tv movies.

In a nutshell, tv offers me nothing I want to spend time with. I can enjoy a good movie now and then. I do search the internet in search of real news, but that is mostly a losing proposition.

TV has had a very negative impact on society. I saw first hand how it can turn lives upside down when I was in a 3rd world country and electricity was introduced to a rural area. People could sell a cow and buy a tv with the proceeds, and those who did saw their lives immediately turn upside down as in lieu of continuing their productive and social lives they became glued to the tv screen, watching soap operas in the middle of the day.
