Intelligent Video Cameras
It would be hard not to notice how much smartphone cameras have improved in just the past five years. The quality of the pictures and the amazing things done in software instead of hardware can be chalked up to two main things – dramatic increases in processing power and improvements in artificial intelligence software. What does this mean for security cameras?
Security cameras have been taking advantage of the same technological advances to deliver accurate motion detection, people and vehicle detection, night vision, recognizing labels and license plates, and more. This means you’ll also receive intelligent notifications when something important happens rather than needless pings for insignificant activity. Plus, if you need to find footage of a specific event, this added intelligence makes it easy to search.
Integrated Entry Systems
If your Lake Geneva property is a part-time residence, occasionally rented, or used by friends and family, you'll appreciate the latest entry systems that integrate a security camera. Solutions like Savant entry systems package a wide-angle camera with recording capability, 2-way intercom, and smart lock capabilities. You can get notified of visitors, grant temporary access, and otherwise monitor and control who has access to your home from anywhere.
Savant and Ring have also teamed up to bring the convenience of Ring Professional surveillance cameras and video doorbells into the Savant smart home system, providing seamless integration of home automation and surveillance features.
Smart Home Integration
While security systems have been around for decades, sensors and alarms were more reactive than proactive. Today, smart video surveillance and home automation have made security much more powerful.
For example, an automated routine can turn on outdoor and indoor lights if a camera detects unexpected activity. Surveillance and video doorbell cameras can be programmed to monitor only certain portions of a view, so you only trigger an alert if a person or vehicle is detected and close enough to intrude on your property. Then, a resulting automated action might be to notify you, turn on lights, trigger an alarm or audible warning, or even call the authorities.
You’ll also know much more detail, as you can access multiple camera views from your app to see exactly where any activity is happening around your property.
