Amazon wants to make it much easier for developers to use its image recognition capabilities.
Amazon Web Services just introduced a new $249 camera with computer vision and Secret Confessions (2025) No Label Episode 45AI-smarts baked right in. Called DeepLens, the camera is intended for developers who want to learn to build applications that leverage Amazon's artificial intelligence technology.

It's a boxy device that's obviously designed with the AI tech in mind rather than looks or pure specs. The 4MP camera shoots 1080p HD video and is equipped with Wi-Fi, a micro SD slot, and 8 GB of memory.
The real reason developers will want the camera, of course, is for its AI tech. Built in are a set of pre-trained image recognition models that developers can use to create their own applications.

"We will continue to train these models, making them better and better over time."
That means a developer who wants to build an application for, say, detecting household objects, can get started without having to train a set of algorithms from scratch — a time-consuming and often expensive task.
This stands to greatly reduce the barrier to entry for developers who want to work with artificial intelligence technology but may not have the resources on their own.
