What’s Next for Security: Trends in AI and IoT Integration
Everyone wants a safe and secure space, whether that’s a home or a place of business. Cutting-edge technology is constantly being developed to improve the ways that we protect our property. Here is your guide to understanding AI, IoT, and how this powerful combination can improve your security system.
How do AI and IoT work together?
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is technology that uses a computer to make decisions, solve problems and learn like humans can. In the last few years, AI technology has improved exponentially, allowing AI to be implemented in new ways.
Internet of Things (IoT) refers to the network of real world devices that use the internet. These can be input devices (e.g. sensors, microphones or cameras) or output devices (e.g. lights, speakers or monitors), and are linked to other devices using the internet. For example, the internet could be used to switch a light on when a sensor is activated.
Together, these can allow AI programs to analyse input from an IoT device and make decisions about how it is used. Sometimes called AIoT, this increases efficiency and personalisation of smart networks.
AI and IoT in security
There are many ways in which AI and IoT can be combined to improve security. Here are some developing trends in AIoT for protection and crime prevention.
Cyberattack prevention
AIoT can detect cyberattacks before they impact you. By monitoring how people use your network and files, AI can identify potential suspicious behaviour and stop lapses in security before they happen. This is particularly important when using a network of smart devices, as it can protect them from hacking and malicious activity.
Facial recognition
Facial recognition software compares faces that pass in front of a camera with a database of faces. This can identify and track people who commit crimes at a much faster pace than searching manually. Especially in high-traffic areas like commercial properties, this can be used to seek justice or reparations when crime happens.
Disaster prediction
Sensors around your home or commercial property can detect microscopic changes to the environment such as water leaks or temperature rise. This can give you advance warning that your environment may be unsafe, allowing you time to protect yourself and your belongings. Video surveillance can also be used to monitor behaviour, predicting when vulnerable people may fall and require medical attention.
Video surveillance analysis
Finding a specific event in hours of footage can take a long time. Combining AI with CCTV allows your cameras to recognise and bookmark specific events such as deliveries, passing wildlife, or suspicious activity. This can prevent false alarms when detecting movement, but can also be programmed to send you notifications and keep you informed of everything happening on your doorstep no matter where you are.
