# Self-Monitored+
**Self-Monitored+** is a tier of Solink Video Alarms that adds an AI detection model to your alarm system.
With Self-Monitored+, Solink's AI model reviews alarm events and determines if there is a person/people present in the footage:
* If **no person/people** **detected**, the alarm is automatically closed and your alarm contacts are not notified.
* If a **person/people detected**, an alarm is opened and the alarm contact is notified. From there, the alarm contact can review the alarm event and determine whether to dispatch police or dismiss and close the alarm.
**Note:** Self-Monitored+ supports both **indoor and outdoor cameras**. See [Alarm Camera Package](/docs/protect-your-locations-with-alarms/professionally-monitored-video-alarms/video-alarms-camera-packages-indoor-outdoor.md) for more information.

## AI Detection
Solink's AI model reviews each alarm as it is opened. You can check the event logs for each alarm event to better understand what happened, including:
* On which cameras motion was detected;
* Whether the AI determined if there was a person or no person.
You can review alarm events from the **Alarms** page > **Recent Alarm Events** tab > select **Open** or **Closed** to see alarm events:
Self-Monitored+ alarm events include the following information related to when motion was detected and on which cameras:
**Note**: The **C=%** number represents the level of "confidence" the AI has in determining whether a person is present in the camera footage. The higher the number, the more likely that a person is present in the footage. Lighting and camera image clarity can impact the AI confidence level.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:
```
GET https://help.solink.com/docs/protect-your-locations-with-alarms/alarms-with-ai-detection/self-monitored.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
