AI SECURITY CAMERAS WITH SMARTER NOTIFICATIONS

A Security Camera Should Tell You When Something Matters

One of the biggest problems with many security camera systems isn't a lack of notifications.

It's too many notifications.

Trees moving, shadows, headlights, animals and ordinary activity can generate so many alerts that eventually the customer stops paying attention to them.

Secure Tech takes a different approach.

We design professional video security systems using carefully selected cameras, advanced AI-based analytics and professional configuration with one objective:

Make security notifications more meaningful.

FEWER FALSE ALERTS. MORE USEFUL INFORMATION.

Basic video motion detection often reacts whenever enough of the image changes.

Modern AI-based video analytics can make much more useful determinations about what is actually occurring.

Depending on the technology and system configuration, the system may be capable of recognizing activity involving:

• People

• Vehicles

• Animals

• Movement within selected areas

• Other defined security events

Instead of simply asking:

“Did something move?”

an intelligent video system can make much more useful determinations about what is happening.

AI ALONE ISN'T ENOUGH

Putting an AI label on a camera doesn't automatically create an intelligent security system.

Camera selection, location, viewing angle, lighting, environment and system configuration all influence how effectively video analytics perform.

Secure Tech considers these factors as part of the overall camera-system design.

The objective isn't simply to enable every available feature. It's to determine which technologies and settings are appropriate for the property and configure them to provide useful security information.

WE DON'T CONSIDER THE JOB FINISHED JUST BECAUSE THE CAMERAS ARE WORKING

A camera can be online, recording and displaying a beautiful picture—and still generate poor security notifications.

For systems where intelligent detection and notifications are an important part of the security design, Secure Tech pays attention to how the system performs in the real environment.

If nuisance or false notifications occur, we can evaluate the behavior and make appropriate adjustments with the objective of reaching stable, useful performance.

Outdoor environments are constantly changing, and intelligent detection sometimes requires refinement after the initial installation.

Our objective isn't simply to make the system work. It's to make it useful.

KNOW WHAT'S HAPPENING WITHOUT WATCHING CAMERAS ALL DAY

Most customers aren't going to sit in front of a monitor continuously watching their property.

Intelligent notifications can bring important activity to the customer's attention rather than requiring the customer to constantly search through video.

Depending on the platform, notifications can provide information about detected events and allow the customer to quickly review what occurred.

This turns the camera system from a passive recording device into a more active security tool.

EARLY DETECTION & DETERRENCE

In appropriate applications, intelligent video can become part of a broader early-warning security strategy.

Instead of waiting until someone enters the building, video analytics may identify suspicious activity around protected areas earlier.

Depending on the system design, detection can also initiate an on-site audible response intended to make a potential intruder aware that their activity has been detected and discourage them from continuing.

Perimeter & Early Intrusion Detection

CLOUD-BASED AI VIDEO

Secure Tech offers advanced cloud-based video platforms with capabilities that go significantly beyond traditional recording.

Depending on the platform and services selected, cloud video may provide:

• Off-site video recording

• Advanced AI analytics

• Intelligent event classification

• Customized security notifications

• Remote viewing

• Powerful event searching

• Ongoing manufacturer platform improvements

• Security-related updates

• Compatible security-system integration

Off-site recording can also provide an important advantage because recorded information does not depend entirely on a recorder located inside the protected property.

ALARM + VIDEO

With compatible cloud-based platforms, intelligent video can become part of the alarm system rather than operating as a completely separate technology.

This allows security-system events and video information to complement one another.

When an alarm or other security event occurs, associated video can provide valuable context about what is happening at the property.

Important: The standalone local-recording camera systems Secure Tech installs operate independently and do not provide this alarm-system integration.

ACCESS CONTROL + VIDEO

For commercial properties, intelligent video can also complement access control.

Access control records credential and door activity. Video can provide visual context.

With compatible integrated platforms, these technologies can work together to provide a more complete understanding of activity around controlled entrances.

LOCAL RECORDING OR CLOUD AI?

Secure Tech offers both professional local-recording systems and advanced cloud-based video solutions.

A local recorder can be an excellent choice when the priority is continuous on-site recording, substantial local storage and avoiding a recurring cloud-service cost for core recording.

Cloud-based video may be preferable when advanced AI, intelligent notifications, off-site recording, ongoing platform development and integration with compatible alarm systems are priorities.

Professional Security Cameras

Cloud vs. Local Video

WE DON'T PUBLISH OUR AI CONFIGURATIONS

Effective video analytics depend on much more than simply selecting a camera with AI capabilities.

For security and competitive reasons, Secure Tech does not publicly disclose the detailed configuration methods, detection strategies or system designs we use to optimize intelligent video systems.

Those decisions are made as part of the property evaluation and professional system-design process.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Can AI security cameras eliminate false notifications?

No video system should be represented as completely eliminating every false or unwanted notification. However, advanced AI analytics combined with appropriate camera selection, positioning and professional configuration can dramatically reduce nuisance alerts compared with basic motion detection.

Why does my current camera send so many notifications?

Many systems rely on basic motion detection or are not configured appropriately for the environment. Trees, shadows, headlights, animals and other normal activity can generate unwanted alerts.

Can a camera tell the difference between a person and a vehicle?

Many modern AI video platforms can classify people, vehicles and other types of activity. Exact capabilities depend on the equipment and platform.

Can you adjust the system if I'm receiving too many false alerts?

Yes. For systems we design around intelligent notifications, Secure Tech can evaluate nuisance or false alerts and make appropriate adjustments with the objective of achieving stable, useful detection performance.

Can AI cameras detect someone before they break into my property?

Yes. Intelligent video analytics can be incorporated into a broader early-warning security design intended to identify suspicious activity before entry where appropriate.

Can the cameras make a sound when someone is detected?

Depending on the equipment and system design, detected activity can initiate an on-site audible response intended to make a potential intruder aware that their activity has been detected and discourage continued activity.

Can AI cameras work with my alarm system?

With compatible cloud-based video and alarm platforms, yes. Secure Tech can integrate compatible video and intrusion technologies where appropriate.

Do I have to use cloud recording to get security cameras?

No. Secure Tech also installs professional standalone local-recording camera systems.
