Abstract
Methods for identifying objects arriving at a house are disclosed. The method includes identifying background objects visible in a field of view of a camera positioned at the house, labeling the background objects as permanent objects, monitoring the zone for new objects entering the zone, and classifying the new objects as vehicle, human, or animal. If the new object is not classifiable, the method includes issuing an alarm to a remote device. If the new object is classifiable, incrementing a count for the classification vehicle, human, or animal. If the count exceeds a limit, the method includes issuing an alarm. The method also includes receiving information for a predefined list of allowed entities containing visual characteristics for the allowed entities and recognizing the new object as an allowed entity.
