The affordable-alternative question for camera AI glasses: Rokid's Style undercuts the Ray-Ban Meta with a lighter recorded frame, a longer recorded battery, and a documented custom prescription range. On capture the two diverge in mode, not class: both record 3K video, the Gen 2 at up to 60fps against the Style's 30fps in ten-minute clips, and both document indicator behavior, with Meta's capture LED disabling the camera when tampered with and Rokid's indicator light warning audibly and stopping the recording if blocked.
