But the hype around Lighthouse is due primarily to the computer vision chops of its founders, Teichman and Hendrik Dahlkamp, who met while working on Stanford's self-driving car project under the. Dahlcamp also sold two of his previous startups to Google and worked on the company's Street View product.

"They deeply understood the problem, but more importantly, they were A+ experts in the technological solution to that problem," he told CNBC. "That's what made this so compelling.

Teichman paints a similar picture. Lighthouse is in the process of developing an integration with the IFTTT web service, so that users can control all their other smart devices based around what the Lighthouse camera sees. For instance, users could create commands like "turn on the kitchen light when the kids get home" or "lock the door when the dog-walker leaves."
