When surveyed, 50% of (now caught) burglars said they would be deterred by the presence of cameras — reasoning that the risk of being caught is simply too high. But if a camera goes unnoticed or a thief thinks a high-value item is worth it, certain services offered through a subscription service may help you stop a thief. Person and vehicle recognitionModern security cameras will generally let you know if a person or a vehicle is on your property, but that alone is not enough information. The “person” can be your spouse getting home or a stranger prowling. The camera will not know the difference. This can lead to your attention being somewhat desensitized to notifications. Security camera subscriptions, including Arlo Secure, have Person and Vehicle Recognition, which means your camera will immediately detect something it doesn’t recognize and alert you. This allows for rapid intervention and a much faster response. Advanced audio detectionCameras with subscription plans can afford to provide more advanced features to their customer, including detection of sounds like breaking glass, a scream, or a gunshot. This means you’ll know someone is in the house the second a break-in takes place and have time to intervene. One-tap emergency responseInstead of wasting precious minutes on interpreting an alert and then calling 911, many security camera subscriptions come with an in-app emergency response. For example, Arlo Secure members can request help from our Live Safety Agents 24/7, with home address and any access code information pre-filled. Much like with Person and Vehicle Recognition, this saves time and increases your chances of catching a burglar before they make off with your things. Professional monitoring If you’re far away or simply don’t want to worry about checking your cameras all the time, professional monitoring can make subscription security worth it. An entire team of security experts will be watching over your home and monitoring cameras, which means the response will also be more immediate. Arlo Secure Premium members get a personal team of Live Safety Agents who are alerted the second a sensor is triggered by an opening door or window. If you have an Arlo Home Security System and cameras, you can also grant agents temporary access to certain cameras so they can verify if a break-in is taking place. Video and event historyShould a thief manage to make it out of your house before law enforcement gets there, video footage will be your next best bet at apprehending them. Local storage on security cameras is limited to a few days and gets re-written, which is why most modern cameras store footage on the cloud. A security camera with a subscription will have more robust video storage (60 days with Arlo Secure), giving you the best chance for gathering evidence. |
