How Security Is Changing in the New Year

What Upgrades Will You See to Your Home Security System?

It’s no secret that technology changes at a rapid pace.

And as we make out way into 2018, there’s no sign of it slowing down.

For many, it seemed like last year was the year of the smart home. Every aspect of smart technology – home entertainment, lighting control and even voice recognition – had a banner year.

But the New Year will be a bit different. The focus will be on home security systems.

Predictive Analytics

Every property should be equipped with a 4K surveillance system

Not only does it help you keep an eye on what’s happening in and around your property, you can also maintain a record if anything goes wrong.

Modern surveillance systems make it easy to review and analyze footage from your smartphone or tablet, so you always know what’s going on.

But until recently, surveillance systems could only really help after the fact, recording events that have already occurred.

However, your system is about to change thanks to artificial intelligence. Predictive analytics software helps you prevent problems before they start.

With these upgrades, your system no only records what’s happening in and around your home, but makes predictions as to where the subjects are likely to move in the area.

For instance, if someone spends a lot of time around your front gate, your system will tell you how likely it is that they’ll try to enter.

That means you can observe and take appropriate action before any problems arise.

Facial Recognition

If you can receive alerts every time someone approaches your front gate, will you get a notification each time the mailman drops off a package?

It can get a little annoying after a while – after all, it’s not like you’re going to face potential threats every day.

Thankfully, you can filter out the familiar faces thanks to facial recognition software. When your surveillance system recognizes a person, your entire integrated security system doesn’t have to spring into action.

Family, friends and other familiar faces won’t set off your system, but strangers will prompt an alert.

That way, you can ensure the safety of your spaces with smart home security.
