SmartHome Video Anomaly Benchmark

An evaluation suite for AI systems that watch smart-home camera videos and detect unusual events. Unlike a still-image test, it examines multiple frames over time and is based on 1,203 online smart-home camera clips across seven categories.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to compare vision-language models on smart-home video anomaly detection. It downloads clips, samples frames, runs evaluations, and creates an HTML results report.
Why use it?
It tests whether an AI understands what changes across a video, rather than judging one image in isolation. This exposes failures in detecting events that only become clear over time.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

SmartHome Video Anomaly Benchmark scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 4 executable files (deploy.bat, deploy.sh, scripts/generate-report.cjs, …), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

SmartHome Video Anomaly Benchmark

Benchmark suite evaluating VLM models on video anomaly detection across 7 smart home categories — based on the SmartHome-Bench dataset (1,203 YouTube smart home camera clips).

Key differentiator from HomeSec-Bench: This benchmark requires video understanding (multi-frame sampling), not single-frame analysis.

Setup

Requires npm install + system dependencies. The deployment agent should:

  1. Check for yt-dlp and ffmpeg in PATH
  2. Run npm install in the skill directory

Entry script: scripts/run-benchmark.cjs

Verification

node scripts/run-benchmark.cjs --help

Quick Start

As an Aegis Skill (automatic)

When spawned by Aegis, configuration is injected via environment variables. The benchmark downloads video clips, samples frames, evaluates with VLM, and generates an HTML report.

Standalone

# Run with local VLM (subset mode, 50 videos)
node scripts/run-benchmark.cjs --vlm http://localhost:5405

# Quick test with 10 videos
node scripts/run-benchmark.cjs --vlm http://localhost:5405 --max-videos 10

# Full benchmark (all curated clips)
node scripts/run-benchmark.cjs --vlm http://localhost:5405 --mode full

# Filter by category
node scripts/run-benchmark.cjs --vlm http://localhost:5405 --categories "Wildlife,Security"

# Skip download (re-evaluate cached videos)
node scripts/run-benchmark.cjs --vlm http://localhost:5405 --skip-download

# Skip report auto-open
node scripts/run-benchmark.cjs --vlm http://localhost:5405 --no-open

Configuration

Environment Variables (set by Aegis)

Variable Default Description
AEGIS_VLM_URL (required) VLM server base URL
AEGIS_VLM_MODEL Loaded VLM model ID
AEGIS_SKILL_ID Skill identifier (enables skill mode)
AEGIS_SKILL_PARAMS {} JSON params from skill config

Note: This is a VLM-only benchmark. An LLM gateway is not required.

Files

What ships with it

8 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

SmartHome Video Anomaly Benchmark is a skill published in the GitHub repository SharpAI/DeepCamera (3,031 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 20 tokens to every session and 1,610 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
