Secure Local Storage for Privacy

While many security cameras rely on cloud storage, a premium Network Video Recorder (NVR) system offers superior benefits for discerning homeowners. Local storage through an NVR means your private footage stays exactly that—private. You maintain complete control over your security data, with no monthly storage fees or concerns about cloud service outages. Modern NVRs can store weeks or even months of high-resolution footage, with sophisticated search features that let you quickly find specific events by time, date, or type of activity. Plus, local storage offers instant playback with no buffering or bandwidth concerns from cloud services, which could be critical in a security situation. Your footage is accessible through your home network or via a secure remote connection.

Safeguarding Your Entry

Your front entrance deserves more than just basic surveillance. Today's premium video cameras capture every detail in stunning 4K resolution that ensures perfect visibility, whether it's a sunny morning or a moonlit evening. Advanced AI detection distinguishes between delivery personnel, visitors, and passing neighbors, sending intelligent alerts straight to your smartphone. When that special holiday gift arrives, you can interact with delivery personnel in real-time through two-way audio, directing them to place packages exactly where you want them. With a Savant home automation system, you can remotely control a garage door or smart lock to let service people or deliveries in while monitoring everything. 

Keeping Eyes on the Garage

Unfortunately, garages are convenient entry points for burglars. Modern security cameras equipped with advanced night vision and superior motion detection keep this space secure 24/7. AI-powered cameras can distinguish between cars, people, and animals, eliminating false alerts while ensuring you never miss important activity. Integration with your Savant system means you can automatically trigger lights when motion is detected or view your garage camera feed alongside other home controls.

Protecting Perimeters

Consider your yard an extension of your living space that deserves the same level of sophisticated protection. The strategic placement of premium outdoor cameras creates an invisible shield around your property. With ultra-wide viewing angles and exceptional clarity, these cameras provide comprehensive coverage while maintaining an elegant aesthetic. Set custom monitoring zones to focus on specific areas like lakeside approaches or side yards, while AI-powered analytics ensure you're only alerted to genuine security concerns.
