Smarter Surveillance Starts with Smarter Cameras

Smarter, Safer Homes: How AI Is Revolutionizing Home Security

One of the most valuable advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) is in home surveillance cameras, where AI takes on the role of a virtual security guard by observing your cameras for you.

While security cameras merely recorded static footage in the past, new camera models use AI to analyze what’s in frame and trigger an automatic response. Older camera systems may have pinged your smartphone at every slight movement detected. Now, AI-enabled cameras can spot a real threat when they see one.

How AI Works in Security Cameras

There are several AI-enabled cameras on the market, each offering different features and levels of integration. Luma cameras are one example that demonstrate how AI can support both security and automation within a unified platform. With Control4 automation systems, your surveillance, lighting, audio, shades, and more all work together in one system.

One of the biggest updates to Control4’s home control systems is Luma Insights, a new feature that utilizes AI to make monitoring easier and more intuitive. When something triggers a camera, like a person or car entering your property, Control4 sends a push notification to your phone with an image snapshot. From there, you can easily check what’s happening live or review a short video clip so you can decide whether to take action or move on with peace of mind.

Smarter, More Accurate Alerts

The biggest benefit of AI in surveillance is fewer false alarms. Instead of being notified every time a leaf moves, you receive smarter, filtered alerts based on actual activity.

Through Control4 integration, you have the ability to choose which alerts you want for each camera, including:

  • Motion Detection
  • Package Detection 
  • Package Removal
  • Person Detection
  • Vehicle Detection

You can also set custom responses, such as triggering a front door chime when a package arrives. With better notifications, you stay informed without being overwhelmed.

Smarter Search and Easier Sharing

Finding the right video clip should not be a guessing game. AI-powered search tools make it easy to filter by date, time, camera, or event type. Want to see who pulled into the driveway Monday afternoon? Just tap, filter, and review.

When you find what you need, sharing is simple. Press and hold a clip or image to send it by text, email, or AirDrop.
