Smart home and AI devices aren’t just convenient — they can also make your home a safer place. And thanks to the proliferating internet of things (IoT), good security practices are becoming less of a chore.
It’s a little like the iPhone’s touch ID fingerprint reader, or now face ID — it’s more secure than a four-digit pin, and it’s so much easier to use.
That convenience is what gets people using the technology, but the added security is the real benefit.So let’s take a look at some of the ways AI is making our homes smarter and more secure.
Smart cameras make footage easier to access
Smart cameras are one of the most useful AI-powered devices you can put in your home — at least from a security standpoint. These cameras can not only act as deterrents and keep you informed, they can record in 1080p, which is important if the police need to identify someone from a recording.
These devices can also automatically upload video footage to the cloud for easy storage and playback. You can even tap into the live feed from any location, thanks to connected smartphone apps. And you get all these features from a device that’s essentially plug-and-play.
Possibly the most interesting thing about these cameras, though, is how they leverage AI to determine when something out of the ordinary is going on and send you an alert. The Nest Cam, for example, can detect a human figure that appears in the frame in specific zones of your house. That’s smart.
Amazon Echo integration allows voice control
Alexa, the digital AI assistant that powers Amazon’s Echo devices, can also make your home safer.
