Artificial intelligence (AI) seems to be making a name for itself everywhere we look today. From the hospitality industry to manufacturing and beyond, it learns, analyzes, and responds.  

One of the most profound impacts it's having on our lives is in home security. It learns as it watches, understanding the difference between the ordinary events of our days and ones that may constitute an emergency. Is it an emergency when your new puppy starts chewing up the couch? That depends on your outlook. Either way, you'll receive an alert on your smartphone and a video clip, enabling you to act appropriately.

What about when your toddler heads to the pool as the babysitter makes lunch in your Thousand Oaks, CA, home? That is an emergency that your smart security system will warn you about. 

As you can see, today's home security systems are as much about protecting your home and family from internal mishaps as they are about securing it from strangers. Here, we'll explore AI's role in this advanced protection strategy.

Learn & Adapt

Experts suggest AI can learn human behavioral patterns in as little as 48 hours. Of course, the longer it watches, the more it learns. It comes to know that you leave your home at a specific time every weekday morning. Did you rush out and forget to turn off the lights, lock the doors, and arm the alarm?

A smart security system will do these things for you. Do you arrive home at nearly the same time every day, a little after dusk? Your smart home will turn on the outdoor lights and illuminate a trail from the garage door to the kitchen. When you open the door, it adjusts the thermostat and streams your "Time to Relax" playlist through high-fidelity in-ceiling speakers. 

A smart security system not only manages your security cameras, door locks, and sensors, but it also adjusts your lighting, climate, and audio-video systems, creating a secure environment that's pleasant and entertaining.

Using Historical Data

By analyzing past data, AI recognizes trends. In security cameras, this translates to realizing the difference between wind blowing the leaves on a bush and an intruder sneaking around in the yard. On windy days, you'll no longer receive a million alerts about potential intruders, making your security system much more productive and less annoying.

The same is true when your dog walks by or the neighborhood squirrel runs across the patio. An AI-smart security camera knows the difference between people, animals, and vehicles.

Recognizing Faces

An advanced AI feature is facial recognition. The system recognizes family members and regular visitors, such as friends and household employees. It can even greet them and unlock the door. 

When a stranger is spotted, the system alerts you when they enter your property, whether on foot or driving a vehicle. This immediate notification can prompt a rapid response from first responders, enabling immediate action when seconds count.
