Amazon just got the The Blink camera systems under its big umbrella. Blink was capable of connecting to Amazon Alexa-enabled devices for voice commands even before the acquisition. this maybe main reasons for the acquisition. Cause there is already integrated systems in blink with Amazons other products. An official blog post by Blink that revealed the news mentioned that nothing is going to change and they continue to work as they were. “nothing changes for now. We’ll continue to operate under the Amazon umbrella selling and supporting the same great products you know and love.” But another aspect of Amazons future business suggests that maybe Amazon is trying to bring AI in security systems by expanding the Deeplens project that AMAZON was working on it a while ago with Intel. Deeplens is AI-Camera project that is also called smart camera. Amazon was working on it with Intel to develop hardware designed for Deeplens AI capabilities.

“We are seeing a new wave of innovation throughout the smart home, triggered by advancements in artificial intelligence and machine learning,” said Miles Kingston, general manager of the Smart Home Group at Intel about deeplens.

“DeepLens brings together the full range of Intel’s hardware and software expertise to give developers a powerful tool to create new experiences, providing limitless potential for smart home integrations.” said Miles Kingston, general manager of the Smart Home Group at Intel about deeplens.

Amazon is now one of the biggest companies and it is expanding itself by entering in different markets, from web services to film studio and being a Netflix rival. And what is hot today that is also shaping tomorows busness and products? Well many say AI. Amazon was just 2 month ago working with Intel on a this new AI project called DEEPLENS cameras. DeepLens is first fully programmable camera with advanced deep learning-enabled wireless video camera designed for developers make apps and develope it potential capabilities. it is possible that Amazon has got Blink under its umbrella to expand the Deeplens into a consumer product and services. Till now deeplens has been A R&D project, a research and experiment and one of the reasons behind buying Blink may relate to deeplens project expansion.
