AI CCTV Cameras Make Home Security Alerts More Useful

I replaced my old CCTV with AI cameras and noticed the difference · livemint.com

Older CCTV cameras mostly record everything and may send alerts that are not very helpful.

AI cameras try to understand what they see.

They can detect people, vehicles or other movement.

This can make alerts more useful.

Many models also let people watch their homes through a phone app.

Some can see in colour at night, while others use infrared night vision.

Dual-lens cameras can watch wider areas.

A 4G model can work where Wi-Fi is unavailable, but it needs a SIM plan.

Buyers should compare video quality, storage, app reliability and the camera’s intended location.
