Deter Intruders with Smarter, Security Camera-Triggered Lighting
When it comes to deterring intruders, smart home security cameras are the way to go. Most burglars look for them and avoid homes with outdoor cameras installed.
And the burglars that don’t? We have something to deter them too.
Our video analytics service is a smart security upgrade that turns Alarm.com video cameras into intelligent “security guards,” able to classify moving objects as people, animals, or vehicles.
These analytics can trigger your home’s smart lights in response to these different object types, giving you an intelligent new way to protect your home and family. Watch this quick video, then read on.
Here’s what makes Alarm.com’s camera-automated lighting a great home security feature:
1: Choose which activities you want to shine a light on
Scenario: At nighttime, you don’t want anybody—family, friend or unwelcome visitor—to be outside your house in the dark. However, you don’t need to light up the neighborhood for every cat or raccoon that wanders through.
Our video analytics service offers a “humans-only” solution. Create a rule with a virtual “tripwire” across your driveway (see video above) that turns your porch lights on after dark. Then, pick “Person” and “Vehicle” as triggers—ignoring the “Animal” option. Now, every person gets a bright welcome, whether they arrive by car or on foot—while animals get to stay in the dark.
