Intelligent Security Ensures Peace of Mind

Today, artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming nearly every industry, none more so than the home security sector. As video surveillance gets smarter, it gets easier to protect what matters most.

From intelligent recognition for detecting unusual events to integrating with smart home devices, these security systems provide a level of protection that was once only found in commercial surveillance.

At Applause Custom Sight & Sound, we partner with Luma, a leader in the evolution of AI in security cameras. Here, we’ll explore their latest features and the difference a company committed to smarter, more responsive home security makes to homeowners in Kansas City, MO.

Intelligent Recognition

In 2025, Luma announced its new Hybrid 4K Cameras with AI-enabled smart event analytics. This technology allows them to distinguish between people, vehicles, animals, and packages. Targeted, zone-based alerts offer greater accuracy and useful monitoring.

Basic motion sensors detect when something is moving and cannot differentiate between a person or storm-tossed leaves. Deep learning video analytics utilizes AI algorithms to identify objects, ranging from people and animals to bicycles, scooters, and motorcycles.

You’ll receive an alert if an unknown car pulls into the driveway or a stranger walks onto your property. You won’t receive one every time your neighborhood squirrel wanders by. This significantly reduces the never-ending number of alerts that often lead people to turn off their notifications.

When the delivery driver stops by, you’ll know. You can open the garage door remotely, speak to them through two-way audio, and ask them to place the packages inside where they’ll be protected from theft and weather-related damage.

Active Deterrence

These cameras also incorporate active deterrence AI. This technology combines LED lights, audible alarm tones, and voice announcements designed to deter possible intruders and unwanted visitors.

Good Night Vision

There’s nothing more unsettling than hearing a noise outside your window at night and checking the security camera feed only to find the darkness has all but swallowed it. Luma’s 4K Hybrid cameras offer both IR night vision and Color-at-Night mode, enabling you to select the option best suited for your property.

IR night vision uses infrared LEDs, illuminating a space with invisible light that produces black and white images. Color-at-Night mode uses white LED lights to capture full-color footage.

When integrated with smart home automation, smart cameras offer even greater protection. In the event of potential intruders, indoor and outdoor lights turn on, the doors lock, the alarm arms, and the security camera feed pops up on every TV, making sure you know what’s going on.

Supporting an Elevated Lifestyle

This integration also allows your security cameras to do more than keep a watchful eye on your property. They can also be part of the overall smart home living experience. For instance, a recording can trigger a series of events. When your car pulls into the driveway at night, the image can prompt the landscape lights to illuminate and the doors to unlock.
