House Monitoring Cameras Can Do Much More Than Just Record 

 

House monitoring cameras are a great way to surveillance your home when you’re away; most homes these days have at least one security camera monitoring their home. But did you know that there are options that allow you to not only monitor, but analyze the video stream and alert you when there is an unusual activity? 

Alarm.com has recently launched a smart video analytics service that enables you to view detailed insights on your live house monitoring camera feeds. Your cameras can turn into your own personal “security guards.” 

How it Works

Using artificial intelligence developed for home and business security, Alarm.com’s technology can distinguish whether an object in motion within the camera field is a person, vehicle, and even an animal. You are also able to set virtual “tripwires” that can trigger outdoor lighting, as well as virtual “zones” within which activity can be specially monitored.

 

When Is it Useful? 

The new layer of home security by house monitoring cameras comes with many benefits to you. Are you anxious about unwanted visitors, whether they’re human or animals? Keep your family and pets safe all around the clock with the added analytics feature. You can get alerts for visitors that linger for too long, when vehicles stop outside your home, and even when the neighbor’s dog decides to pay an unexpected visit. 

The smart technology allows you to selectively control and manage notifications, so you can receive only those alerts that are important to you. For example, you may not care to know that the mailman came to drop off a package, so you can turn off these alerts. During the night you want to know if anyone is trespassing in your backyard, so as soon as someone enters the virtual “zone” you have created you’re not only notified, but your house monitoring cameras will trigger the smart lights and deter the individual.
