Good morning, everyone. Mike from CCTV Camera Pros here. Over the weekend,
I installed one of our new Viewtron active alarm security cameras at my front door here. It's that
dome version that you see behind me. And what these active alarm security cameras are, are
AI cameras. They have built-in object detection, and they also have audio and visual alarms built
in. There's a multicolor LED light that can come on, and then there's audio warnings that could
come on when the camera detects humans or cars intruding in a certain zone that you can detect.
So in this video, I'm going to set up an intrusion zone at my front door here. And
the idea is late at night, like after 10 o'clock up until like 6:00 in the morning,
I'm going to have that alarm on so that if anyone's at my front door, no one should be
at my front door during those hours, a light is going to come on and then an audio warning,
warning them that they're being recorded by video surveillance footage. Let's take
a look. I'm going to set it up first on the NVR and then run through a test.
To configure the alarm on the security camera, I'm going to go into the settings
by clicking on the menu in the lower left. I select Settings here and then AI / event.
Then I select AI event on the left-hand menu over here, and I'm going to select the alarm
security camera that's mounted on my front door. Then I'm going to select Intrusion for the type
of AI event that I'm going to set up. I check this box to enable this type of AI detection.
And I'm going to draw the intrusion zone using the mouse. So basically, if anyone approaches
my front door, they're going to pass through this zone, and that will trigger the alarm.
Under Detection Target, I'm going to set it to a human. Obviously, there's no motor vehicles
passing by my front door. And for the Trigger Mode, I want to make sure I enable both the
audio and the video, the alarm light, and the alarm audio. I'm also going to enable snapshot,
and I did configure recording. I click Apply. Then next, I'm going to go into audio. This is
where you can select which audio file you want to play. I uploaded a custom one that I made,
but there are some default ones that you can use by selecting from this box.
And then last, I just want to show you, I have the recording set up for 24 by seven for this
test. You can see the AI recording schedule is around the clock, and I also have continuous
recording around the clock. But this is where later, when I'm done with testing,
I'll set the AI recording schedule to after 10 o'clock at night up until 5:00 in the morning
or 4:00 in the morning, a time where no one should be at my front door. But for now,
I'm going to keep it at 24 by seven for the test. When I'm done, I can click on the X there, and now
I'm back at the live view of the camera. I'm going to enable the AI visualization by clicking on this
icon. You can see that opens up this window on the right, and then you can see the target detection
area that I drew. And as I approach the front door, I'm also video recording with my phone, so
you can hear the audio alarm and you can see the light. And the light rotates between red and blue.
Warning, you are being recorded by video surveillance. Warning,
you are being recorded by video surveillance. Then next, I'm going to show you how easy it is
to search for and play back any of those events. If I click on this Start button again and then
select Intelligent Analytics, I'm going to select today for the date. Then, I'm going to select the
alarm security camera at my front door. And then, for the event type, I'm going to select Intrusion
and then click on this Search button. This will display thumbnail images of all the
events that occurred. Then if I want to play back one of the events, I can check this box
and then click on this backup button in the lower right. That'll open up the video player,
and here's the recorded video surveillance footage. All the player controls are on the
bottom. You can go forward and reverse. You could pause. You can also speed it up or slow it down.
Guys, in addition to the automated alarms that I just demonstrated,
the audio and visual alarms that were automated via that intrusion detection zone,
you can also manually enable those alarms from the NVR and also from the mobile app. So, for example,
if you want to get a push notification when a person or vehicle is intruding in a certain area,
you can look on your phone to see what's going on. And then, you can decide to manually activate the
audio and visual alarms. That's also an option with these alarm security cameras. I'm going
to be doing a lot of testing with these. These are brand new, and we're super excited to launch
them. I'm going to install the bullet version of this alarm security camera above my driveway,
and I'll do some demonstrations for vehicle object detection there.
If you have any questions about any of this, feel free to reach out to me anytime. I can be

and we also have other AI security cameras that don't have the automated alarm. We have
four-megapixel versions and 4k versions. The alarm security cameras right now are four megapixels.
