Even though our modern world has made our day-to-day lives more comfortable and convenient, it also brings security challenges.

Not Your Average Security Camera
You may or may not remember surveillance cameras from decades ago. They captured poor-quality video that made it difficult to identify people. And forget about night vision! Trespassers looked like green blobs moving around your yard. Now, things have changed. Today’s smart cameras record footage in high definition – even 4K. They provide the highest level of detail – almost like you’re watching a movie in your home theater. Some night-vision cameras even capture full-color images. Add to that their zoom, tilt, pan, and remote-control features, and you have a surveillance camera system that is like having several security guards.
Advanced Recorders for Accurate Alerts
Here’s another futuristic feature of a smart home security system. The recorders that store the camera footage use video analytics, pattern-based algorithms, and AI technology. So, when your high-definition cameras record an object or person, the system recognizes it. In fact, it can identify license plates, facial features, and many objects. If a stray cat is on the porch in the middle of the night, your system won’t sound the alarm. It knows it’s a cat.
Also, if you’re searching for specific footage – let’s say you’re wondering if a package was stolen from your porch – you can find it in a matter of seconds. Simply search by keyword term. Type in “package on porch,” and the system locates the footage for you. Best of all, you can do it all with your smart home tablet or your smartphone. Isn’t that much better than looking through hours of footage to find what you want?
Set Up a Perimeter with Geofencing
Another new technology is geofencing. It lets you create an invisible perimeter around your property. When an intruder breaches the perimeter, the security system is triggered. The geofence can be as large or small as you like. Perhaps you have a classic car and want to protect it. Set up a geofence so that your security system alerts you if an intruder gets 20 feet from your garage. A smart security system that includes geofencing also “knows” when you’ve left home. It arms itself and sets all the security rules in place while you’re away. In addition, the system identifies your location using GPS and turns off when you pull in the driveway. It’s just another way home security is smart and seamless.
Automatic Remote Alerts
One of the most impressive benefits of a smart surveillance system is its mobile alert feature. Unlike security cameras and systems that simply record an event, your smart system notifies you when something happens on your property: a door or window was left open, someone crossed an invisible perimeter, or your child arrived home from school. The system can also trigger your smart lights to turn on if an intruder enters your property. Whether you’re at work, in bed, or on vacation many miles away, you can feel confident that your security system has all eyes and ears on your property and keeps you abreast of everything.
