With our newly launched video analytics service, it can be even more valuable.
Video analytics is a highly intelligent security feature that monitors your property's video streams to distinguish important events from routine activity. It uses this real-time insight to filter and categorize your video alerts, giving your video monitoring a new level of control, customization and value.
Video analytics uses cutting-edge artificial intelligence, developed by our computer vision research team for home and business security. It can tell whether a moving object in your driveway is a person, an animal or a vehicle. It can ignore a person who quickly visits your front door and then leaves (the mailman), but alert you if a visitor lingers too long in the same place. It makes these distinctions in real time before alerting you—or not—according to your preferences.
Video analytics also lets you create virtual "zones" and multi-directional "tripwires" for your cameras, enabling it to further categorize activity based on the layout of your home or business and the areas you need to protect. You can know when:
Vehicles come and go: Know when a vehicle stops outside your home, but not every time a vehicle drives past.
Visitors linger: Get a video alert if someone lingers by your front door, but not when the mail is delivered.
Pets break the rules: Know if your pet breaks the rules to nap on the couch when you're at work—or if your neighbor's dog pays an unwelcome visit to your lawn.
Video analytics is the latest in a line of proactive, intelligent safeguards developed by Alarm.com to keep your home or business safer, including Crash and Smash protection, Unexpected Activity Alerts and Geo-Services triggers.
If you're interested in activating video analytics, contact your Alarm.com service provider to learn about camera and service plan options.
See everything that matters
Vehicles: Know when a vehicle enters your driveway or stops outside your home, but not every time a vehicle drives past.
Pets: Know if your pet decides to nap on the couch while you're at work—or if your neighbor's dog pays an unwelcome visit to your lawn.
Intruders: As well as capturing video, video analytics can turn on your outdoor lights if there's a person outside, while ignoring animals.
Easily customise your video alerts to pinpoint the activity you want to see.

With video analytics, you'll spot the difference
Video analytics can tell whether an object in your driveway is a person, an animal or a vehicle. It can ignore a person who walks past your house, but alert you when someone stands outside your front door.
You can create "tripwire" alerts to capture people entering or leaving your property, and "ground zone" alerts to capture activity in tightly-defined areas like doorways.
What you see is up to you, because you can customize your video analytics alerts to focus on the events that matter to you.
