CAMIO is a pen‑shaped camera module that clips onto any pair of spectacles, instantly turning them into POV smart glasses. It records 12MP photos and 2.7K video at 30 fps, offers a 110° field-of-view, and features an integrated screen, mic, speaker, and Wi‑Fi app for remote control and playback
🎯 5 Core Highlights
1️⃣ Affordable add-on solution
Priced at US $79, CAMIO is a fraction of the cost compared to smart glasses (often $200–300+). It brings smart-camera functions to your existing eyewear—no need to buy new frames
2️⃣ Compact and light
Weighing just 19 grams (about the weight of an AirTag), this compact module attaches easily via a secure clip. It’s small enough to flip off when you just want ordinary glasses
3️⃣ POV-ready recording
CAMIO captures high-resolution POV footage—up to 2.7K video—ideal for vlogging, sports, daily documentation, or acting as a wearable dashcam
4️⃣ Standalone playback and control
It includes a small display for settings and review, along with mic and speaker support. On-board MicroSD storage (up to 128 GB) holds your footage or photos
5️⃣ App-connected and versatile
CAMIO connects via Wi‑Fi to a companion app for remote control—allowing you to trigger recordings from afar or use it as a discreet security camera
🌍 Why It Matters
- Smart meets affordable: For under $100, users get POV recording and AI-ready footage without purchasing expensive wearables.
- Privacy-friendly: Easily detachable, CAMIO avoids constant camera presence—covering privacy concerns often faced by integrated smart glasses
- Broad appeal: Its simplicity suits everyone from vloggers and cyclists to casual users and security-conscious individuals.
- Kickstarter backing: The device lives up to its goal of undercutting Meta’s Ray‑Bans with superior recording specs (2.7K vs 720p)
⚠️ Caveats
- Not truly AI: CAMIO is a camera module—not a full AI assistant. You’ll need external apps or devices for live AI features.
- Design footprint: Its chunky, pen-like form is noticeable—less sleek than purpose-built smart glasses .
- Limited specs: With a 300 mAh battery and unspecified stabilization, recording sessions may need frequent charging
✅ Bottom Line
CAMIO is an accessible, modular solution that turns everyday spectacles into smart glasses with hands-free POV recording, playback, and remote control. While it doesn’t offer built-in AI, its ease of use, affordability, and versatility make it a compelling choice for anyone wanting smart-camera capabilities on the go.
