US 2016/0239723 A1 · ENHANCED HOME SECURITY SYSTEM

Abstract

A solution is provided to enhance home security monitoring by pre-processing and post-processing home security surveillance data and by using a trained security model. A security controller receives motion data from motion sensors and digital cameras strategically installed in a home and pre-processes the motion data to detect possible candidates for the detected motion. The security controller is connected with a variety security sensors installed for monitoring home environment. Each of the security sensors sends an event signal to the security controller in response to a state change of the security sensor. The security controller analyzes the state changes and generates security alerts responsive to detection of security violation. A security server connected to the security controller post-analyzes the security surveillance video data to identify humans and animals responsible for the detected motion and trains a security model to guide the real time security monitoring by the security controller.
