4 Things You Probably Didn’t Know Your Smart Home Security Cameras Can Do
Homeowners and businesses have used cameras to protect their property for decades. Security cameras are seen as an effective deterrent against crime and a useful tool. Sometimes, they just for grabbing a funny video of dad wiping out on an icy driveway. Today’s home security cameras can do a whole lot more though. New AI technology is making cameras smarter; protecting deliveries, reducing false alarms, and helping families connect. Here are 4 things you probably didn’t know security cameras can do.
1. Answer the Door, Even When You’re Not at Home
A video doorbell allows you to see who visits your home, even if they don’t ring the doorbell. You can also answer your door from anywhere with your phone. You’ll see a live feed of whoever has stopped by and be able to communicate with them via the two-way chat function.
Package delivery? Tell the driver where to leave it. Keep your deliveries safe from porch pirates with a touchless video doorbell and smart lock. Get an alert when a visitor approaches or rings your video doorbell. Open your app to see and talk to them.
2. Smarter Security
Unlike old-fashioned motion-triggered lighting, the AI technology in modern home security cameras custom activate your lights in different combinations for alternative objects.
Say you want to startle deer away from your garden at night. An animal-triggered lighting rule that turns on every outdoor light is an effective solution. For human intruders, however, you can create a second person-triggered rule that also includes your upstairs lights, alerting you to the danger and sending a clear signal to the intruder that someone is home and awake.
3. Know What’s Going On
Home Security Cameras don’t just stand by and watch anymore. Your cameras can identify the difference between humans, vehicles, and animals and send you custom alerts. Our easy-to-use app lets you create notification rules so you know when the kids come home from school, if Fido has been on the couch, or if someone lingers in your driveway.
The real-time alerts are sent directly to your mobile device, so you never miss an important moment.
4. Check-in When It Matters
Cameras like our Wellcam allow you to easily connect with whoever is at home through two-way voice and video. You can connect via the app and get a live feed from the Wellcam. You can hear and speak through the app in real-time. Help the kids with their homework or let the family know when you’ll be home.
The easy-to-use call-out button lets users in the home connect directly to your mobile device. Perfect for independent seniors. You can check in on your loved ones anytime and they can reach out as well with a single button press.
Adding smart home security cameras to your home provides security and peace of mind. You can check in on live video feeds from anywhere with the app while today’s smart cameras continue to make homes even safer.
