Abstract
Because of the evolution of artificial intelligence (AI), home security has progressed from a basic security system to an active architecture that is responsive and adaptive to real world situations. Due to the rapid adoption of AI in smart systems, there is increasing suspicion surrounding privacy issues and ethical ambiguity, as well as gaps when it comes to regulating these technologies. We provide an overview of AI in smart home security applications and examine the area of security, access control, intrusion detection, human action recognition, and research on intelligent automation. We summarize the last decade of evolution, with some summaries of previous on computer vision, authentication systems, and finding unusual patterns recently. Our key findings include the development of approaches to improve real time security monitoring, dramatic reductions in false alarms, and customization of home access using AI. Improvements in security have also increased risk with respect to ethical ambiguity as well as technical issues in certain cases. In this paper, we offers pathways for improved AI system design, proposed formal data protection regulations, and examples of simplifying complex system for user comprehension, which also establishes the groundwork for future efforts. Home security should balance new opportunities with ethical considerations.
