Security should not be something you “turn on”
Most security systems assume you will add sensors, remember to arm the system, and hope the right alerts reach the right person fast enough.
Arqaios flips that model. Instead of bolting security onto a building, Arqaios builds intelligence into the building itself through smart fixtures, including switches, outlets, and vents. The result is intrusion detection that can stay aware 24/7, understand where a person is, and support person-aware logic that reduces false alarms and enables precise control.
Always-on awareness, without changing user behavior
Intrusions do not happen on schedule. Arqaios is designed to maintain continuous awareness across critical areas of a home or building, without relying on a routine of “arming” and “disarming.” 24/7 monitoring:
- Continuous detection supports day, night, travel, and overnight scenarios.
- Context-aware modes: Policies can be configured by time of day, occupancy, or zone (for example, Home, Away, Night, Event)
- Built for real spaces: Fixtures are installed where people naturally move, which helps coverage align with real behavior.
Detecting “motion” is not enough, you need to detect people
Traditional motion sensors often create a flood of low-quality alerts. Arqaios is designed to focus on human presence and in-room activity, giving you higher-confidence detection that is more actionable.
Instead of “motion detected,” Arqaios aims to support context like:
- Presence detected in a restricted zone
- Unexpected occupancy pattern after hours
- Movement toward protected storage areas
Person-aware detection, delineating individuals in the same space
Many security systems cannot distinguish between a homeowner, a guest, and an unknown individual. Arqaios is designed to support delineation between individuals by combining signals and building subject profiles over time.
This enables security logic that is practical in everyday life, such as:
- Known occupant: No alarm, optional silent logging
- Approved guest: Allowed in public zones, restricted in private zones
- Unknown subject: Escalation rules trigger faster and more aggressively
Person-aware detection is the difference between a system that panics and a system that understands.
Zone-based security, down to a single closet
Not every part of a home or building needs the same security posture. Arqaios supports zone-based security so you can secure just the areas that matter most, including extremely specific spaces.
Example: Securing a master bedroom closet
You can configure a protected zone for something as specific as a master closet, then apply policies like:
- Secure the closet 24/7, even while the rest of the home remains in normal “Home mode.”
- Allowlist access for specific individuals, such as homeowners.
- Trigger escalating actions when anyone else approaches or enters.
Escalation can be tiered, for example:
- Low confidence: Silent notification and event log
- Medium confidence: Audible local alert, notify primary contacts
- High confidence: Emergency escalation workflow when thresholds are met
Hosting an event without giving up control
Parties, gatherings, and events are where many systems fail. You either disable alerts entirely or risk constant false alarms from normal guest movement.
Arqaios is designed for an Event Mode approach where you can keep security active while still being a good host:
- Public zones: Living room, kitchen, entertainment areas
- Private zones: Bedrooms, offices, closets, storage, restricted hallways
With person-aware logic, you can treat guests differently from unknown individuals, and you can focus alerts only on what matters, like attempts to access private spaces.
Alerting and escalation, including emergency response when necessary
Intrusion detection is only valuable if it leads to the right action. Arqaios supports a structured workflow designed to reduce noise and respond quickly when risk increases:
- Detect: Identify presence, movement patterns, and restricted-zone activity
- Verify: Increase confidence using additional signals and profile matching
- Alert: Deliver high-quality notifications with zone context
- Escalate: Trigger emergency escalation workflows when thresholds are met
- Respond: Execute configured actions, including local deterrence cues (for example lighting changes), and notification routing
Important: Emergency escalation (including 911) depends on deployment configuration, integrations, and local requirements. Arqaios supports escalation workflows designed to route incidents to the appropriate response path based on severity and confidence.
Why “built-in security” is the next step
Security should feel like part of the building, not a separate system you have to remember to manage.
Arqaios is designed to deliver:
- 24/7 always-on intrusion detection
- Person-aware delineation, not just motion alerts
- Zone-level control, down to a closet or restricted subsection of a space
- Event-friendly security that keeps private zones protected
- Tiered alerting and escalation that can respond appropriately as risk increases
