Funnily enough my home has smoke detectors. No advanced algorithms just simple detection of smoke. I mean they are only designed to save lives not fine anybody, but I guess that's not what Hyatt are after.

I suppose it’s looking at it like that is the same as the speedcam argument. Is it safety or revenue. At least you have some oversight and a due process when that’s wrong though.

I wonder if these people could contact the fire department as it has to be some kind of hazard giving false reports.
