3 of the Smartest Motion Security Camera Products
These days, motion security camera technology has advanced quite a bit. It's not enough to simply set up a camera and connect it to a computer using a cable, there are many problems that need to be addressed aside from this. Advanced motion detection is often needed to reduce the instances of false alarms. This can be achieved in two ways: by using a sophisticated detection technology, or by using a combination of technologies that only trigger an alarm when they are both set off.
What can many cameras not do?
Many motion sensor cameras on the market may be too basic for your needs. Some of them are not able to respond to certain motions, such as a cat crossing a room, or a change in the amount of light available (such as transitions between day/night). Some of the features you should consider for your camera are the following:
- facial recognition - many cameras these days, combined with facial recognition software, are able to instantly process an image of the person who is being viewed and determine if they are allowed access to the site or not; in addition to this, when a face is recognized (or not) certain actions can be performed by the software attached to your camera, such as email/cell phone notifications for intrusion, unlocking of doors based on verified access, etc.
- advanced motion detection - this is especially important if you have a motion activated camera set up outside or if you leave your pets at home, such as cats; a camera needs to be able to tell the difference between a human-sized intruder and an urban animal
- changes in light - day/night cycles can be important to determine preset actions, such as lights turning on, doors locking, gates locking and so on; picking a camera with these capabilities and additionally, infrared functions will allow you to use them 24 hours a day
- advanced pixel detection - many cameras that use pixel technology to trigger image-based events are not definitive enough to detect changes in light or movements that are too rapid, such as birds and cats; you should aim for a camera program that lets you calibrate its pixel detection and customize it to your own situation
