Outdoor Security Camera

Do these cameras work at night?
Many of our outdoor security cameras include infrared (IR) night vision capabilities with noise reduction and high dynamic range. These features allow them to capture scannable images in low-light or dark conditions at close range and at distances of up to 95 feet. Most night vision footage is black and white, but some cameras, like the LTS Platinum Hybrid Illumination IP Camera, can capture details in color. The CHeKT 4MP AI Turret Camera also offers low-light night color vision. Adding ambient lighting to the site can dramatically improve image quality.

Can I access footage from my phone?
It’s generally possible to use outdoor cameras with a mobile app or an online interface to access security camera footage from your phone. Many manufacturers, including Alarm.com, facilitate remote viewing of live feeds and recorded footage through their dedicated mobile apps and interactive service plans. The LTS Connect app enables viewing, playback, and searching of recorded footage from anywhere.

What is AI detection?
AI detection is a sensing mechanism that uses artificial intelligence algorithms and computer vision to analyze video data and identify objects, classify behaviors, and detect anomalies, potential threats, and security breaches. AI detection does more than detect motion; it can learn to recognize activities like loitering and differentiate normal from unusual behavior and recognize deviations that could be suspicious. This could include loitering, unusual movements, or unauthorized access attempts. Some AI detectors can identify weapons. AI detection systems can also reduce false alarms by recognizing and ignoring irrelevant activities.

How does live monitoring work?
Live monitoring combines real-time AI-powered video surveillance with professional monitoring services. Trained security personnel analyze curated footage captured by real-time monitored outdoor cameras with AI detection and take action when they verify suspicious activity or potential threats. Security agents can speak to intruders directly or alert law enforcement to request immediate assistance. Live agent monitored security cameras frequently include or integrate with sensors, alarms, and smart locks.

Are these cameras weatherproof?
Many of our outdoor security cameras are rated as weatherproof, which means they are resistant to rain, snow, heat, UV light, and dust. However, weatherproof outdoor security cameras may not be fully waterproof. Some models carry IP66 and IP67 weather-resistant ratings to ensure they can withstand a variety of adverse environmental conditions.
