Applying AI Patterns to Home Security

AI-enabled monitoring can quickly become noisy if detection pipelines are not carefully structured. This work focused on reducing false positives and presenting useful, prioritized alerts.

Tools Used

  • Python
  • Computer Vision
  • Automation
  • Docker

Lessons Learned

  • Reliability and precision are more important than broad detection coverage in early deployments.
  • Users trust alerts when systems explain why events were flagged.
  • Modular pipelines make it easier to improve components without rebuilding the full system.
