(MENAFN- GlobeNewsWire - Nasdaq) The new SimpliSafe® Active Guard Outdoor Protection leverages advanced AI, a new advanced outdoor camera, and live monitoring agents to help stop crime before it happens
NEW YORK, Oct. 23, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Artificial intelligence isn't just for smart gadgets-it's now playing a crucial role in home security. Recently, tech expert and host of the gadget game show“What the Heck is That?” Steve Greenberg conducted a satellite media tour in conjunction with SimpliSafe® and D S Simon Media to talk about how one AI-powered security system, when paired with expert security agents, is changing the security game and the steps you can take to fortify your home from a break-in before it happens.
No one wants to face the emotional and financial burden of a break-in. Fortunately, modern smart home security systems and professional monitoring have eased much of the anxiety around safeguarding your home.
Most traditional home security systems will trigger an alarm when an intruder is already breaking into a home. But by then, it may be too late to stop them from stealing valuables or causing harm.
SimpliSafe® Active Guard Outdoor Protection is helping change that. When paired with SimpliSafe's AI-powered outdoor camera, the new service detects unexpected human movement approaching the home and alerts security agents, who are prepared to take action if needed. Thanks to AI, homeowners now get an early warning of potential threats, helping keep their homes and families safe at an affordable price.
First, the Outdoor Camera Series 2 uses edge AI to detect a human presence on the property when a customer's security system is armed. Next, AI in the cloud provides a face-matching assessment to a SimpliSafe security agent, who ultimately determines if the individual on camera matches a“familiar face” saved to a customer's account, typically a family member, close friend or caregiver. If a familiar face is not found, the agent will be prompted to engage the individual using the camera's two-way audio. If needed, the agent can trigger the camera's loud siren, turn on spotlights, and even request police dispatch, if needed, sending help fast.
SimpliSafe® Active Guard Outdoor Protection and its new Outdoor Camera Series 2 are reshaping the future of home security, transforming it from a reactive solution to a proactive solution. With its innovative double-layer of defense made up of advanced AI and expert monitoring agents, SimpliSafe is keeping its customers safer than ever before.
