How AI Is Enhancing Security Technology

January 19th, 2022



With the rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI), or machine learning, technology is becoming more sophisticated. One technology AI will be of great benefit is in the security industry. AI will not only help identify events like current technologies but will use smart algorithms to also determine follow up action. If you are looking to take your Chico security system to the next level, it’s time to start thinking about incorporating AI technologies.

How AI Works

AI is a very complex software that takes a large amount of data and use intelligent algorithms to help the software learn automatically from patterns and features within the data. Identifying patterns and features can help the software take the actions normally taken by a human. For example, you will enter a sequence of data about your property, such as when your employees come on site. Then you will program the software to identify times that fall outside of this range. If an entry happens outside of the identified time ranges, you can then program the software to react accordingly.

AI And The Security Industry

In the security industry, there are multiple ways to incorporate AI. The most useful is by interfacing with sensor technology. Sensor technology already aids in motion detection, access entry, and even property damage. Usually, when a sensor is triggered, it sends an alert to your human security staff and they will then take appropriate action. With AI, it will not only use the sensor to detect an incident it will also recognize what is causing the incident and respond appropriately. 

AI And Anomaly Detection

The first way this technology will be useful is during unusual events. For example, if there is a gunshot, a sudden spike in temperature in the office, or a broken window, the AI will detect this event. It will then use the collected data to determine the difference between a threatening event versus a non-threatening event. Then take the necessary action during a threatening event. This not only ensures threatening events will be taken care of, it helps security personnel maximize and efficiently use their resources.

AI And Human Activity Recognition

Another way AI will support security professionals is by monitoring human activity. AI tools can be used to distinguish between an animal and a human in an area. It can identify access entry anomalies like walking the wrong way through an entrance or exit or even piggybacking on someone else’s access credentials. AI can also use data sets to learn typical human behavior and identify unusual incidents. As AI continues to learn and refine the more data it is given, over time the possibilities of this technology are endless.

All of these advanced AI tools can help support the security of your Chico business. By incorporating AI into your system, your security team will be more effective at identifying and responding to threats. As this technology is very new, it is important to not only work with a highly knowledgeable developer and implementation expert, but also someone who can program the software with local data collected from around Chico to ensure it can identify and respond to the threats that your business will face.

What Our Customers Say

"I had the Alibi system installed several years ago. It has functioned flawlessly. The image quality is exellent both night and day and in all weather conditions. I particularly like the replay (which can be set at various speeds) and zoom functions of the system. Tech support from Crimefreeliving has been excellent. I have received quick responses to questions, and timely home visits — as when I changed IP carriers and my Alibi system needed to be reset. I have recommended Crimefreeliving to several friends."

Rich

"As a small business owner here in Chico we definitely saw the need for video surveillance. After expressing our needs and concerns Tim did an excellent job getting us set up with the set up with the appropriate equipment. He really took the time to address our concerns in a very friendly, professional and knowledgeable manner. I highly recommend Tim for all of your business and residential video surveillance needs."

Ron H., Owner/Auto Doctor

"I have to say I love having my security cameras at my home. Tim Truby did a wonderful job of installing the five cameras. He is very neat and cleaned everything up after the installation. He explained to me how to operate the monitor, my phone and IPad. However, I have had to call Tim because I'm not tech savvy and forget what he has told me. He usually just helps me over the phone and then all is well. I'm 80 years old and enjoy the comfort of knowing I have these security cameras."

Gloria

"Tim Truby designed and installed a 32 camera system for us here at the Butte County Mosquito and Vector Control District. We had received several other quotes from security system vendors, but Tim’s quote was the least expensive. Tim also installed the system quickly and has always been available when we needed him. We are very happy with our security camera system and we can highly recommend Tim Truby for all of your surveillance system needs."

D. Weseman, Butte County Mosquito and Vector Control District

Crime Free Living updated our old video system with a new 16 Channel HD Alibi Video Security System. The old system had been added onto by different installers which resulted in a cabling mess. There were cables that worked and cables that went nowhere. It was a mess. Tim sorted it all out and installed cameras that are very clear. He also installed a monitor for our cashiers to watch hidden areas, a monitor to watch the entry door, and a monitor that allows employees to watch the outside parking and gas pump area. All work was done on time and very professional! Will always recommend Tim and Crime Free Living.

S. AM PM Chico Arco Station

"I had Tim install an Alibi Video Security System at my residence and a couple business locations. The remote view option is invaluable to absentee owners or anyone who travels a lot. The clarity and quality of the cameras have allowed for viewing employee theft. The evidence provided from the HD video cameras was fantastic! Tim was professional and provided extra value from his law enforcement background."

J. Folsom Arco Station

"Tim, I want to thank you again for doing such a fantastic job on installing a wireless IP security camera system at our dream home. The extra time that you took to hide wires, and install a clean, professional system is much appreciated. I still can’t believe the clarity, quality, and ease of use of this new system. I wished that I would have met you before our original inferior system was installed by another company. Now, whether I am at home, or monitoring the system from around the world, I know that my home and family are safe and sound."

John M.

"In April of 2017, my husband and I made a phone call to Crime Free Living that turned out to be a smart and wise decision. Amazingly, in just a few hours, Tim installed four Dome Security Cameras, weatherproof enclosures, and hooked up into our home a 23" Full HD Widescreen Security Monitor. Even more than his professional expertise was the time spent with us in making sure that this system was working correctly and properly installed on our phones so that anywhere in our travels we can monitor our new home in Magalia."

Tieka and Don S.

"I have been using Crime Free Living for the last couple years ar work and at home and I really recommend this product. Tim is a very good service provider. If he can't figure it out, he's got good tech support with the system that he offers."

Gary D.

"I have known Tim for over 10 years. To date, Time with Crime Free Living has installed two separate surveillance systems for my company. With each system, Tim has listened to my needs and custom dsigned surveillance systems for my specific needs and within my budget. The equipment used is always state of the art, the workmanship is top notch, and Tim is the example of trustworthy. I would recommend him for any job."
