Google's smart doorbell system, Nest Hello, has one feature which automatically locks the door if it doesn't recognize the face on the other side.
This is a pretty remarkable safety feature to have and it likely gives residents inside the home a sense of comfort, knowing their doorbell system is watching out for them.
However, that doesn't mean the Nest's facial recognition software can't make a few mistakes here and there. No one's perfect guys, not even doorbells.
Georgia homeowner B.J. May was rightfully confused when he was refused entry. After all, it's literally his house. What possible reason could his doorbell system have for locking him out?
May posted the story to Twitter and revealed that the doorbell system actually picked up Batman's face on his t-shirt instead of his own. Since it couldn't recognize the snarling mug of the Caped Crusader, the Nest refused to let him inside.
He was able to get into his house by using his pin, so it wasn't like he was stranded on his porch while the Nest rang the police to notify them that Batman himself was trying to break into the home.
Also, he clarified that even if Batman were smiling on the shirt, Nest still wouldn't have let him in. So May wasn't just locked out because a frowning face rubbed the doorbell the wrong way.
Of course. It's the only answer that makes any sense. I'd just love to know how The Joker knew Batman would show his face in Georgia of all places.
But maybe that's because Minions aren't exactly threatening characters. The worst they can do is annoy you, but that's a far cry from the worst Batman could do.
