How Does AI Work With Surveillance Cameras?

Artificial intelligence is impacting many areas of our lives, including how we protect our homes and families. The field is changing, most notably in surveillance and automation. You know AI security cameras exist, but might not know how they function. Explore this technology and discover how the latest security systems in Bakersfield use it. 

What Can AI Security Cameras Do?

The chief job of video cameras in past years has been to simply record activity. Things are much different these days. AI has transformed these recording systems into active observers capable of analyzing what they capture in real time. Here’s how AI has changed the game:

  • Smart recognition. You don’t want a notification each time your pet darts within range of the camera. AI can help by distinguishing between furry friends, pacakges, automobiles, and people. In essence, advanced surveillance can assess what it observes. There’s still progress to be made, but the technology is progressing at a rapid clip.
  • Analyzing behavior. AI cameras can learn what qualifies as standard activity and then take note of anomalies. To illustrate, the latest systems can detect if somebody is loitering too long in a high-risk location, such as your front steps or back door. You may also set specific detection zones you want cameras to monitor.
  • Face recognition. Some of the latest models offer face identification, permitting cameras to detect the faces of family members, friends, and neighbors. You can program your door to disengage when a trusted visitor shows up.

How Do AI-Powered Security Cameras Serve You?

Video cameras are a critical aspect of your home’s protection and typically serve as the first security measure. Here’s how AI makes them even better: 

  • Less false alarms. By processing video and differentiating between cars, packages, people, and pets, AI-powered cameras can drastically cut down on false alarms. You can focus on the moments that are important and avoid sorting through hours of footage.

  • Proactive defense. AI surveillance systems don’t just passively record what’s going on. When questionable actions are detected, they’ll notify you right away.
  • More integrated home. Modern surveillance cameras connect effortlessly with your home’s security. When a camera discovers suspicious movement, it can activate exterior and interior lights, while also notifying you and your monitoring team.
