Presence - Knowing who is home and who isn't and then using that information to make your home control system smarter. With Wired4's custom integrations of our Core Brands, we are not only able to accurately determine a person's presence in the home, but we can also identify their general location within the home. Here's how:

• Facial Recogniton - with today's camera technology and cloud-based computer vision capabilities Wired4 is able to use facial recognition technology to identify who a person is as they pass by a camera on arrival or departure.
• Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) - another cutting edge capability of Wired4 is using ANPR cameras to read the license plates and identify vehicles as they enter and exit the property.
• Devices - by maintaining a database of a person's devices (phones, tablets, wearables), Wired4 is able to accurately determine a person's presence and location within the home based on their network footprint and connection information.

Real-time Events and Data Consolidation - Utilizing the wealth of data available from the different systems within your home and consolidating it into one database provides numerous benefits:

• Giving your home a "history" - Many systems do well with the "real-time" but fail to store the data. As an example, most Alarm systems only maintain a 200 event "buffer" and after you've reach the size of the buffer, the older data are deleted...by maintaining your home's data with Wired4's solution, you'll have the data you need, when you need it!
• Pattern Recognition - Identifying patterns over time can only be done by maintaining historical data. Wired4's solution uses the Homebook database to make the determination if an event is "expected" or "unexpected" as a means to make your home "smarter".
• Smart Queries - Can your voice assistant answer questions about your home? "When did the garage door open?" or "When did Johnny get home from school today?". Wired4 is actively building a taxonomy of queries for use with a voice assistant for all the questions that can be answered by the Homebook database.

Intelligent Triggers - When you have accurate Presence information and you have consolidated Real-Time Event Data, the next evolution of the Smart Home it to make the Triggers you use (to set scenes, turn things on and off, and send alerts) a lot smarter and more secure! Here are just a couple of examples:

• Almost everyone with a garage has a garage door opener in their car...but what do you do if your car is stolen? Does the criminal now have access to your home too? Not if your garage door is protected by Wired4's two-factor authentication solution!
• Every homeowner that has a security camera can get alerts when motion is detected, but can those alerts trigger different actions based on if you are home vs. away (if they can even trigger any actions at all)? Can the trigger be different depending on who is home (i.e. kids home alone)? If you have Wired4's Homebook solution, you can!
