Claim 0:
1. A computer-implemented method for monitoring and protecting a rental property, comprising:
acquiring video data of an entrance for the rental property from a digital camera;
establishing a boundary within a field of view of the digital camera, wherein the boundary is associated with the entrance;
using a machine learning system to identify an object of interest that is being brought by a person traversing the boundary, wherein identifying the object of interest comprises:
establishing a bounding box around the object of interest based on motion analysis; and
computing a confidence level for the object of interest based on image data within the bounding box;

in response to the confidence level exceeding a predetermined threshold, obtaining object information for the object, wherein the object information includes an object type and a category for the object of interest;
comparing the object information for the identified object to a list of prohibited objects for the rental property;
sending a prohibited object message to a remote computing device in response to the object information being in the list of prohibited objects;

in response to identifying the object of interest traversing the boundary, updating an occupancy count for the rental property; and
sending an occupancy message to the remote computing device, wherein the occupancy message includes the updated occupancy count.
