Since the system can be accessed online, there is no need for security additions at the premises other than the thermal cameras. Human intruders are identified by body heat and can be easily distinguished from animals by stride and gait. Motion sensors can also tell the difference in humans or wind rustling bushes so the system will not alert unless a true threat is detected. Verbal warnings are then issued over a loud speaker system and if the threat is not deterred police can be called in to assist and investigate.
A surveillance system, that is additionally smart, such as this new technology, will be very cost effective. The reduction of theft and vandalism cost is the highest cost savings, yet the upfront cost is very low to install such a system also. There is no need for added personnel to increase payroll and benefits expense, and the ability to authenticate a threat before alerting will save in false-alarm costs.
