Overview - Alarm.com Video Analytics

In this video, Joe from Alarm Grid provides an overview of Alarm.com Video Analytics. This is a special feature exclusively for compatible Alarm.com Security Cameras. By using this feature, you can set what type of activity should trigger alerts and notifications and which activities can be ignored.

By using Alarm.com Video Analytics, your compatible cameras can actively determine whether movement is caused from a person, animal, or vehicle. And you can set up your notifications to only get alerts from certain types of activity. For example, you might want to know if a person is passing by, but not if a vehicle or an animal is passing by. Additionally, you can also set up one or more "detection zones" within the shot. This way, you will only be notified when activity occurs in certain portions of the camera's field of view. This can be useful in many situations. For instance, you might want to know if a vehicle pulls into your driveway, but you don't care if vehicle is merely passing by. As such, you can set up a detection zone accordingly based on your needs.

To get started with Alarm.com Video Analytics, you will first need access to Alarm.com for video surveillance. You will need to sign-up for an appropriate alarm monitoring plan, such as a Platinum Plan from Alarm Grid. Both the Full Platinum Plan and the Self Platinum Plan will get the job done. From there, you will need to have your alarm monitoring company apply the Video Analytics package to your Alarm.com account. Doing this will also increase your monthly clip limit and your total clip limit from 1,000 clips to 3,000 clips. This does not include any additional clip package add-ons that you may have applied to your account. Remember, Alarm.com Video Analytics only works with Alarm.com Cameras that support the feature. Check and see if the camera(s) you are using support the feature. Most of the newer Alarm.com Cameras will support Alarm.com Video Analytics.
