Abstract—Smart home security cameras are becoming more common, but their usefulness can be diminished by notification fatigue from too many alerts about minor incidents. This paper examines the gaps of existing event detection and notification systems in security cameras and then recommends using  Generative AI and Large Language Models (LLMs) to add  intelligence which would improve user experience. Generative AI can be leveraged to classify events more accurately and assist with anomaly detection. LLMs can further be used to create notifications that are tailored to the context and personalized to users behavior, helping to reduce notification fatigue and provide meaningful user alerts. The paper also looks into wider applications of these technologies to add intelligence and improve other related experiences like automated video summarization, proactive security measures, and improved privacy controls. The integration of Generative AI and LLMs with smart home security camera systems advances the smart cameras capabilities and offers enhanced security, personalized user experiences.
