In the future, home security systems will see and respond to threats before the threat turns into a crime. The cloud and big data systems can analyze multiple camera streams. Technology now uses object detection to spot threats. As a result, home owners or authorities now receive proactive alerts. Security systems have moved beyond the reactionary state.
It is no great secret that technology is the great industry disruptor. And home security is no outlier. Yet, security cameras are the go-to solution for individuals who want to protect their home and property. Can individuals combine security cameras with advanced technologies for more protection?
The Big Data Shift
The shift in data gathering and processing makes it possible to to store large quantities of data gathered from multiple locations. Meanwhile, the shift in AI (Artificial Intelligence) creates a greater ability to process information intuitively and intelligently.
The latest in-home security technology uses big data to analyze how threats are assessed. Fortunately, it is an analysis that comes with few drawbacks. Deep AI systems have access to analytics, allowing them to assess threats based on specific footage. Even more, footage is shared across platforms.
Traditional security systems simply record footage and provide evidence. Unfortunately, this model is entirely reactive. An intruder causes a breach, which triggers an alarm and law enforcement responds. Conversely, future systems using big data proactively identify threats. And proactively monitoring allows law enforcement to respond before an event occurs.
Advanced software attached to cameras analyzes motion triggers. In the event a motion trigger occurs, the object is classified. Whether it is a person, a dog, or someone climbing a wall, the system identifies it. Systems identify and monitor up to a dozen streams at a time. In addition, they provide a comprehensive real-time analysis.
Help From Authorities
Proactive systems identify potential threats instantaneously send them to the cloud. There they are processed remotely by a smart AI. Therefore, if a threat is detected, an alert is immediately sent to the home owner or law enforcement official.
While proactive systems are important, they are useless without an assist from authorities. Because of current system limitations, authorities don’t always have a clear view of the threat assessment before dispatch. And false alarms decline, and resources divert to critical incidents as accurate reports roll in.
Even better, advanced security systems adapt to businesses based on their need. But, how so? Networks of cameras in a certain location show specific patterns. For example, a car drives around the same area day-in and day-out. Advanced AI-driven home security systems log that as a potential threat.
Imagine a home security system of analytics on top of analytics. Instead of merely telling you what is there, the system instead detects patterns and classes of objects. Pioneering technologies like this change the game of home security for the better. It is not up to home owners to hop on the bandwagon.
