Lorex’s Cameras Can Watch Footages For You, Saving Hundreds of Hours
There is a new wave of organized crime sweeping across cities, where criminals increasingly target USPS mailboxes and retail locations, exploiting security blind spots to steal valuable mail. Reports found that law enforcement often have to scrub through hundreds of hours of surveillance footage to track suspects, but with police departments understaffed, investigations are becoming increasingly difficult to process. The same challenge is also faced by homeowners and businesses who might have to spend hours reviewing recordings to find key moments.
To tackle this efficiency bottleneck, security solutions providers like Lorex Technology are changing the game with advanced technology like AI Smart Search and Video Vault to make video monitoring more efficient. And for Android users, these features are accessible via the Lorex Home app which is compatible with Android devices.
For example, during holiday seasons, there is an uptick in online purchases, and the theft of packages left on doorsteps often becomes a significant concern, with reports of millions of packages stolen. While traditional security cameras might record the incident for evidence, Lorex’s cameras can actually use AI to detect mail delivery to home or office mail rooms and send instant alerts for notifications.
And when preventive measures can’t stop theft from happening, in a situation where a package is stolen from your doorstep, Lorex’s Smart Search function actually saves you hours of manually scanning through footage. The AI-enabled Smart Search feature allows users to instantly locate specific moments, whether it’s detecting a person, vehicle, or even an object moving in a particular area. Leveraging in-camera edge AI analytics, Smart Search can locate and filter footage based on input of color, number, or even letter, making it possible to rapidly identify details such as a suspect’s clothing or a car’s license plate. This eliminates the need to review security footage frame by frame and makes the experience a lot more intuitive.
These features are made accessible via the Lorex Home app, compatible with Android devices. Whether it’s a lost package delivery, or identifying an unfamiliar face near the property, Android users can easily find the footage they need based on keywords search and just a few taps on their mobile phones. Apart from package theft and potential home invasion, AI Smart Search is also useful in business settings when owners need to review instances of unauthorized access for faster response time.
Another common concern with modern security systems is data security, how it’s processed and stored. As opposed to many AI-powered solutions that rely heavily on WiFi and cloud storage, Lorex takes a different approach with Video Vault technology, which eliminates hacking and data privacy risks. The Video Vault technology comes with an in-camera edge AI function, which enables data to be contained within the camera itself for analysis without sending it to a cloud server. Not only does the local storage option ensure video footage remains private and under the user’s control, but it also eliminates ongoing subscription fees commonly associated with cloud storage.
With Video Vault technology, users can securely access, manage, and share recorded videos and snapshots with family members. Not only does the on-device data process enhance data protection, but it also enables users to quickly retrieve security footage.
The AI Smart Search capability is not just an add-on, but will become key for municipal, business and home security, finding key moments more intuitively.
Lorex’s offers a smarter, seamless solution for users to have an oversight of their surroundings, and Android users can now access these premium features via the Lorex Home app.
