America's most trusted security company needed AI that matched its standards.

National Home Security Leader has been protecting homes and businesses for over 150 years. With 6.5 million customers and a monitoring center that processes millions of alarm events annually, National Home Security Leader's customer service operation is one of the most complex in the industry.

The contact center was handling 3M+ annual contacts, a mix of alarm inquiries, technical support, billing questions, and smart home setup requests. Response times were under pressure. False alarm triage was consuming monitoring center capacity. And National Home Security Leader's expansion into smart home technology was creating a new wave of complex support inquiries.

Smart home security technology

National Home Security Leader protects 6.5 million homes and businesses across the US.

Security support has no margin for error.

1

High-stakes interactions requiring instant response

Security customers don't wait. When an alarm triggers, when a sensor fails, when a camera goes offline, they need answers immediately. The contact center was handling 3M+ annual contacts, but response times during peak periods were unacceptable for a security company.

2

False alarm volume overwhelming dispatch

National Home Security Leader's monitoring centers were processing a high volume of false alarms, triggered by pets, weather, user error, and equipment malfunctions. Each false alarm required manual triage and, often, a dispatch. The cost and operational burden were significant.

3

Smart home complexity driving support volume

National Home Security Leader's expansion into smart home technology created a new category of support inquiries. Customers needed help setting up devices, troubleshooting connectivity issues, and integrating National Home Security Leader systems with third-party smart home platforms. These inquiries were complex, time-consuming, and growing rapidly.

AI that responds at the speed of security.

Pypestream designed an AI agent with distinct conversation flows for each of National Home Security Leader's major contact types. For alarm inquiries, the agent could check alarm status, review recent events, and guide customers through false alarm cancellation in under 60 seconds, eliminating the need for a monitoring center call in the majority of cases.

For smart home support, the agent was trained on National Home Security Leader's full product catalog and integration guides, capable of walking customers through device setup, troubleshooting connectivity issues, and integrating National Home Security Leader systems with Google Home, Amazon Alexa, and Apple HomeKit.
