Yes.
Our AI models are trained to distinguish between people, vehicles, animals, and environmental movement like shadows or wind-blown objects. Your cat walking across the garden doesn't trigger the same response as a stranger approaching your door.
This is foundational. If a security system can't tell the difference between a threat and a pet, it's useless.
