A method for a digital camera adaptable to monitor a scene to detect a condition of interest to a user. The digital camera can program, in a first mode, first memory cells according to first weight matrices to classify images captured by the digital camera. Second memory cells are programmed in a second mode to store data representative of the images. The digital camera can perform operations of multiplication and accumulation using the first memory cells to compute first classifications of the images. In response to mismatches between the first classifications and second classifications identified by the user for the images, the digital camera can execute instructions to determine second weight matrices and program, in the first mode, third memory cells, according to the second weight matrices for improved capability in detecting the condition represented by image classifications in a predetermined category.
