  • Internet of Things (IoT) security systems generate tremendous amounts of noisy data.
  • Over 98% of residential burglary alarms are false, leading some police departments to refuse to respond or charge large fees for false alarms.
  • Current camera systems simply record video, forcing law enforcement to manually watch all surveillance video. Many times no usable evidence can obtained even using expensive enhancements, so most simply do not even try.
  • Existing IoT systems are not making homes saver, they are burying law enforcement in worthless data
  • Don't just get more data, get the right data.

    Actionable Security


    Using smart sensors, which isolate and recognize faces, vehicles, and connected devices, Fink Security eliminates the noise from surveillance data. What is left is actionable information. Each home provides key information which forms a secure network which can assess risk in real time and provide meaningful evidence to law enforcement.

    Home owners are notified, via text message, when unknown vehicles, persons or devices are detected. When needed, this actionable information is available to the homeowner to hand over to law enforcement.

    At the home

    Devices continuously watch for faces and isolate images useful in identifying people. Facial recognition allows for comprehension of associations between individuals, warning in cases of known criminals, and alerts when unverified people enter a home.

    At the road

    By capturing license plates, vehicles are tracked and associated with identified people. By tracking vehicle patterns we can provide evidence of location, association, and movements.

    In the air

    Media Access Control addresses are gathered and associated with individuals. Device information and usage patterns can be used to identify specific device models, home and business addresses, even track a person's movement through your neighborhood.

    Crowdsourced security and AI


    When you join the Fink Security community you are plugged into a secure network of millions of homes, all helping to make your own home more secure.

    In small towns security used to be easy because everyone knew each other and everyone helped their neighbors. The communities would work together and criminals knew they would be easily identified.

    The Fink Security network brings the security of small communities to a national level. Our AI can access previous incidents, citings, and associations in order to determine a threat assessment even BEFORE a crime occurs. In the event of a crime, being in the Fink Security network is like being able to ask all of our customers “have you seen this person?”.


    Fink Security is a community of customers who simply listen and work together.
