Alarm.com is using face recognition technology to make Unexpected Activity Alerts even smarter. Users can now monitor for unauthorized code sharing and receive alerts whenever the person using a disarm code is different from the person assigned that code. These alerts include a disarm image taken at the panel, so users can see who accessed their properties and take immediate action as needed. This feature is initially available to customers using the Qolsys IQ Panel 2 (a built-in panel camera is required) with firmware version 2.3.0 or higher. Face Recognition is included with service packages that support Unexpected Activity Alerts and Images – Plus.
