Smart video monitoring is a modern security essential. With video alerts, live security camera feeds and 24-hour recording options, video makes it easy to stay in the know about important activity at your home or business.
With Alarm.com's 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 Reed Security a Reed Security Authorized Dealer to learn about security camera and service plan options.

Using deep learning technology, AcuSense detects humans and vehicles and filters out unwanted false alarms.
When a human or vehicle is detected a strobe light and audible alarm are triggered - a huge deterrence for unwanted visitors.

All objects with a temperature above absolute zero emit thermal
radiation, even at low levels.
This kind of radiation, invisible to the human eye, can be detected by
thermal imaging sensors.
Thermal Cameras can produce images in
the visual spectrum by detecting temperature differences between
an object and its surroundings. The larger the difference, the bigger
the contrast variety, making details visible. Thermal cameras can be used for applications in more
challenging environments to detect people and fire.

When you start your own business, there's plenty to keep you awake at night.
Did we choose the best location? How can we reach more customers? How are things looking at the business right now—as in: right now, at 10:30 PM?
When she opened beauty and skincare boutique Ivy Wild, Washington D.C. business owner Rachel Mulcahy worried about all of the above. After having a full suite of Alarm.com for Business security technology installed, however, Rachel found it easy to put security concerns to bed.
"With Alarm.com, it takes maybe five seconds to check in," Rachel says. "I don't have to wonder what's happening at the store. I can just know."
Here's how Alarm.com helps Rachel protect and run her business.
Smart alerts and video feeds keep Rachel in the know With smart security cameras inside and outside Ivy Wild, Rachel can have a 360° view of what's happening anytime—no matter where she is. Her Alarm.com for Business app lets her quickly view a live feed from any camera, or find a recorded video clip of something that happened earlier. "I feel like I can be at the store even when I'm not at the store," she says. "I can tap my app's video button and see the store indoors and out." Alarm.com also offers Rachel an array of notification options for keeping up with important activity. "I get a notification when the store is closed up and secure." she says. "I can get an alert if the store doesn't open on time. Alarm.com lets me know who arrived, and when. And if I get a notification that something is wrong, I can open my app and see exactly what's happening." Related: "Being in control means knowing what's happening. That's what Alarm.com gives me." Smart safeguards protect Ivy Wild's inventory
Ivy Wild carries high-quality cosmetics and products that could make an attractive target for thieves. Rachel rests easier knowing that her security system is professionally monitored. In the event of a break-in, local police will be alerted without Rachel needing to act. Additionally, Alarm.com offers Ivy Wild a range of automated safeguards to protect different aspects of the store. "For example, I'm not always here at the end of the day to lock up," Rachel says. "So, I have an Alarm.com rule that locks our smart lock, automatically, every day at closing time. Even Ivy Wild's smart thermostat helps protect things. "It would be a problem if the store got too hot," Rachel says. "We don't want our cosmetics getting overheated; it could degrade the quality. Fortunately, I can see and control the temperature from anywhere with my Alarm.com app. If things get too warm, I'll get a temperature alert. It's amazing to have Alarm.com take care of these things." Managing access for employees is easy—and more secure
Ivy Wild has four part-time employees, who all need to access the store at different times. With Alarm.com's smarter access control, that's easy. "I can quickly set up access for a new employee," says Rachel. "I go into my Alarm.com dashboard, set them up with a keycard, then specify the times and days on which they have access to the store. If anyone forgets their card—although it hasn't happened yet—I can unlock the door remotely with my app." Related: "With keyless access, Alarm.com for Business makes my life easier." As Ivy Wild grows, Rachel expects to rely on Alarm.com even more. "If we open another location, I'll want the same technology there," she says. "Being able to manage employee access for two stores, side by side, with each store's video feeds and activity alerts too, would be huge." "This is a security system but it does so much more," says Rachel. "I consider it an essential business tool—something every owner should have." Want Alarm.com for your business? Professionally delivered by Reed Security, Alarm.com for Business is the smartest way to upgrade your security, access control, video surveillance and energy management.
