Methods and systems are provided for performing video confirmation of security system alarms using automated video analytics. When a sensor generates an alarm, the system automatically identifies an associated video camera and retrieves relevant video footage corresponding to the alarm timestamp. A video analytics algorithm analyzes the footage to generate a confidence score for alarm confirmation. If the confidence score exceeds a threshold, the alarm is reported as confirmed to a central monitoring station; otherwise it is reported as unconfirmed. The system can select specific analytics algorithms based on alarm type and manage multiple associated cameras with defined priorities. The confidence scoring can consider factors like camera field of view overlap and image quality. The analytics algorithms can be trained using operator-provided ground truth data to improve accuracy.
