Tragic that people are still falling victim to these hope-rot schemes. Had an experience with facilitated writing schemes with family members 20 years ago. From non-verbal to shockingly eloquent in no time! It’s a miracle, turns out they were a genius trapped with an inability to express themself! Oh isn’t it strange that some people just can’t facilitate with them and what they say/know changes with the facilitator? Oh well, but thankfully the facilitator can always tell you what is meant when they use uncommon abbreviations!
The features described could be accomplished with a PIR motion sensor. I don’t see any reason they’d go to the expense of adding a camera, especially since infrared is better for operating in the dark like you’d expect for an alarm clock that’ll need to be able to wake kids at 6am in the winter.
