If you want to protect your home and your family from harm, it’s time to
learn how artificial intelligence can change home security. The US.
According to the Department of Justice, an average of 3.7 million robberies
occur each year. You are looking at the latest home security technologies so
that you can protect yourself from the threat.

Security systems of the past have used common sensors and alarms to
detect intruders, and they consult a team of security experts in case
something goes wrong. If you are away from home when the alarm goes off,
you may have to wait until you return to look for the damage. Many people
have returned from holiday or business meetings, knowing that this is only
a false alarm. The ability to integrate artificial intelligence with home
security confronts that problem and offers many benefits, creating a
complete home defense that you can rely on.

Wi-Fi connectivity

Modern security systems now allow you to connect your cameras to your
home’s Wi-Fi connection. Then you can download and install the
smartphone app so you can view your security footage from anywhere with
cell signal or internet access. Your home will notify you when the move or

the door is open and watching live feed will allow you to determine if you
are facing a real threat or a false alarm.

Some police departments have reported that 90 percent of alarms are false.
Giving you the power to disable the alarm when there is no threat will save
you time and money, but if you do not respond quickly, the software will
contact the authorities, keeping you out of harm’s way.

Facial recognition

While past security systems can always detect weapons and movements
when their alarm is heard, facial recognition can reduce the number of false
alarms you experience with AI. The cameras of your security system can
detect your face and the faces of the people you invite to your home on a
regular basis.

If your alarm and your children or spouse come home, your security system
will not contact the police until they realize they are allowed in your home.
On the other hand, if the face is not allowed in front of you, it will send help.
When you want better protection without worrying about too many false
alarms, facial recognition technology is the right solution.

Smart Home Integration

In addition to using facial recognition and Wi-Fi connectivity, AI security


systems are also integrated with smart home technology. Amazon Echo and
other personal assistants can work with your security system, but they can
also learn to detect your throat. These features allow you to use Echo and
similar devices to control your security system, cameras, and electronic
locks. Giving your children access to the Echo’s security features makes
them a little bit safer when you’re not around, making the system armed
and unarmed with their voices.

Final Thoughts

The developing world of technology offers many benefits while keeping


your home safe from danger. Wi-Fi cameras allow you to get out of town
without fear because you know your home is in good hands and the touch of
a button gives you access to a live video feed. Using facial recognition
technology means you can use your security system without worrying about
false alarms.

The software you can find in the market right now takes security to a whole
new level, but that’s only the beginning. Looking to the future, we know

that upcoming technological advances will create unlimited possibilities.


Future software and security systems will keep your home safer in more
ways than you once thought.

How AI Can Improve Your Security System

With traditional home security devices, the system can be programmed to


trigger a predetermined response based on certain events. For example, if
the system is armed, the countdown begins when the door is opened. If you
fail to enter the code on the keypad in time, it alerts the police or an offsite
security professional to a potential intruder.

Although this system is prone to success, many problems arise. The biggest
problem is that it can lead to a problem with false alarms. False alarms are
obviously uncomfortable but insufficient, and they can lead to a lack of
response when a real security problem occurs. If the police or security
services receive too many false alarms in a short period of time, they may
decide that future events do not require the same urgency of response.

The same may be true of CCTV cameras. Your standard security camera is
the most passive measurement. It acts as a deterrent, but in the event of a

crime, they only serve to record evidence; They do nothing to prevent


crime. Thanks to AI programming, this has begun to change.

With the security system of the future, every aspect of your home care
system will be connected through IoT. Everything from CCTV cameras, door
locks, lights, and audio sensors can collect data and then be analyzed using
machine learning.

By analyzing this data, the system can learn about the habits and activities
common to the property. Once the system has a profile of regular
functionality, it can use what it has learned to manage the home security
process more effectively.

You start to see things like locks, which come together with cameras to
detect different visitors, not just knowing the normal times that different
people come and go. It allows information program access decisions to be
made.

The system may also notice that you have forgotten to lock your doors when
you leave home and send a reminder to your smartphone. After you receive
the notification, you can use the linked smartphone app to lock the door
without returning home.

Smart security cameras

Security cameras are widely recognized as one of the most effective exploit
resistors. When a thief sees the cameras, they are likely to pick up another
target. The impact of these cameras has made them more common in home
security. Their popularity is also growing thanks to the recent progress we
have made in CCTV technology.

Features such as HD recording, cloud storage, and remote monitoring are


common in modern security cameras. In addition, some new systems have
begun to use AI programming, making CCTV more effective. With machine
learning, the security system can be learned to detect people at home. This
helps the system when it needs to decide whether to trigger an alarm.

Beyond facial recognition, security cameras can also be programmed to


detect objects. It is used to help the system tell the difference between a
dangerous stranger and a homeowner delivering the package.

Smart Locks

The old lock and key represent traditional ways to maintain access control
at home. If a person has the key, they can come and go as they please. If

they don’t, they need someone with a key to providing access.

With the development of smart locks, these are all set to change. With
SmartLock, the physical key is related to the past. Instead, people can gain
access by using zip codes and smartphone apps. With SmartLock, you can
manage different levels of access for different people and the system goes
on as long as the access record is maintained.

Many of these systems also come with features intended to increase their
flexibility. Smart locks are connected to your home’s Wi-Fi, so you can
program them to unlock when you get to the front door. With some smart
locks, you can also use a digital personal assistant to unlock the door using
voice commands. When a guest arrives, you can tell your digital assistant to
unlock the front door.

The problem with traditional security systems comes down to


programming. Although they can be set up to respond to event-based
triggers, they still need humans to do the most important things. With the
development of AI, there is less need for human security professionals. The
smart system can monitor themselves and perform tasks such as contacting
emergency services.
