STS is developing an integrated home automation, security & surveillance system with machine learning for consumers. Customer has to buy home automation, security and surveillance systems from different vendors. Customer has to deal with multiple apps with no intercommunication. Surveillance systems can’t differentiate between an animal & a human intruder.

Currently available solutions

People have no choice but to buy home automation, security and surveillance systems from different vendors. All vendors provide their own apps with different interfaces. No intercommunication exists between these systems. People keep getting false alerts regarding motion detection from their cameras even when light condition changes, trees sway or cat or some animal passes. People tend to ignore the alerts and they cannot know even when some intruder comes. Security systems and surveillance systems work independently. They are not intelligent. In case of an alert people have to switch between various apps to turn on lights, see camera feed and respond to security system. Available systems are expensive and people have to contact multiple companies in case they need some support. People also have to deal with multiple contracts.
