When safeguarding your property and loved ones, motion detection with accompanying video analytics provides another level of advanced protection.
Motion detection via Alarm.com’s smart home security system app offers the added convenience of 24/7 home security through your smartphone. This technology and accompanying central station monitoring can help control emergency situations, deliver real-time alerts, and inform proper authorities.
Below is a useful summary of this technology’s benefits, compatible security cameras, additional video analytics, and more.
Motion Detection Benefits
Built into security cameras, motion detectors activate to record only when movement is detected. This eliminates hours of unusable, non-applicable video typically consuming large amounts of memory and storage. It also provides increased battery life and energy-saving capabilities.
It does all this whether you’re home, away or not even operating the system.
Motion detection technology on its own also recognizes security camera scene activities through analysis differentiation. The technical term is pixel matching or frame referencing. Any images that don’t match previously programmed camera settings are then detected.
Specific use cases include detecting possible intruders inside your home or around outdoor areas.
Video Analytics
The ability to analyze video offers an additional advanced software-driven security layer to your camera’s motion detection.
The system is smart enough to differentiate between images of animals, humans or vehicles, while offering additional data on what should be recorded or ignored. This prevents false notifications triggered by loud noises or strong weather, and also determines movement direction and activity duration.
User-controlled tripwires and activity zones determine alert triggers, such as indoor/outdoor lights. These can be incorporated through video management software or CCTV system with a network video recorder.
Best Detection Placement
When considering camera installation, choose a location capturing side-by-side, view-field movements.
Cameras should be placed away from windows to avoid sensitive detection. If not, position it to one side rather than directly opposite windows. This helps prevent inadvertent detection and a clearer field view.
Adjusting your camera’s motion settings is paramount for optimal detection levels. This requires managing sensitivity levels, camera repositioning or both.
