1. A camera comprising:
an image sensor array for taking a digital photo;
at least one processor;
a memory coupled to the at least one processor;
photo storage residing in the memory to which a plurality of digital photos taken by the image sensor array are stored;
camera operational logic residing in the memory and executed by the at least one processor that provides at least one operational mode for the camera; and
an artificial intelligence (AI) photo analysis tool residing in the memory and executed by the at least one processor, wherein the AI photo analysis tool analyzes the plurality of photos in the photo storage and assigns based on the analysis at least one of a plurality of categories to each of the plurality of photos, wherein at least one of the plurality of categories have corresponding alarms defined, and when a category of a photo assigned by the AI analysis tool corresponds to a category that has a corresponding alarm, the camera operational logic performs at least one action for the corresponding alarm, wherein the at least one action comprises changing a time interval in the camera operational logic for the camera to take photos, wherein the AI photo analysis tool uses at least one AI model to analyze the plurality of photos.
