Surveillance Case Study
AI-Enhanced 4K Security System – Avon Lake, Ohio
In Avon Lake, Ohio, Xtend Technologies was engaged to upgrade and expand a residential surveillance system with a focus on intelligent detection, long-term storage, and seamless mobile access. The objective was clear: Deliver enterprise-grade 4K security coverage with advanced AI analytics — without complexity for the homeowner. The result is a fully integrated, AI-powered surveillance ecosystem designed for clarity, awareness, and peace of mind.
AI-Driven Turret Cameras
Seven outdoor Ubiquiti AI Turret 4K cameras were installed at strategic exterior locations to provide full-perimeter monitoring.
These cameras deliver:
- 8MP 4K resolution (3840 x 2160)
- All-weather IP66-rated enclosures
- Vandal-resistant housing
- IR and visible LED night vision
- Two-way audio communication
More importantly, enhanced AI capabilities allow for:
- Face detection
- Person recognition
- Vehicle detection
- License plate recognition
- Animal detection
This transforms surveillance from passive recording into intelligent monitoring.
Interior Awareness & Entry Monitoring
To enhance visibility at key access points, additional 4K indoor/outdoor WiFi cameras were installed in:
- Garage
- Living Room
- Basement
These compact G6 Instant cameras provide:
- Crisp 4K image quality
- 109.9° viewing angle
- Two-way audio
- Night vision capability
- Weather-resistant housing
The placement ensures both entry awareness and interior visibility when desired.
AI Enhancement for Existing Cameras
Two existing PTZ cameras were integrated into the new system using UniFi AI Port appliances, allowing legacy cameras to gain:
- AI object classification
- Smart event detection
- Intelligent search filtering
This integration preserved prior investments while dramatically improving capability.
Enterprise-Level Video Recording Infrastructure
At the heart of the system is a Ubiquiti UniFi Network Video Recorder (UNVR) with enterprise-grade RAID storage.
The NVR configuration includes:
- Quad-core ARM processor
- RAID storage redundancy
- Three 24TB enterprise hard drives
- Up to 30+ days of 4K recording capacity
- NDAA-compliant hardware
UniFi Protect software provides:
- Real-time remote access via mobile app
- Motion alerts and push notifications
- Facial and license plate search
- Speech-to-text audio search
- Intelligent event filtering
The homeowner can access live or recorded footage instantly — from anywhere.
Clean Infrastructure & Professional Installation
All cabling, terminations, and rack integrations were completed using structured wiring standards to ensure long-term reliability and serviceability.
The system was configured, tested, and optimized to deliver seamless performance across both wired and wireless camera locations.
Security systems should not only perform well — they should operate reliably for years.
The Result
This Avon Lake residence now benefits from:
- Full-perimeter 4K surveillance
- AI-based face & vehicle recognition
- License plate detection
- Interior monitoring
- Integrated legacy camera enhancement
- Long-term RAID-protected video storage
