Visitor Welcome Mode
Built for the days you're hosting — parties, gatherings, and expected guests.
You don't need a special mode for everyday life — Active mode already recognizes deliveries, mail carriers, and routine visitors automatically.
Visitor mode is for the moments you're expecting people: cameras greet guests with spoken welcome messages when they first arrive, spotlights can light the way and help coordinate guest parking, and you get a heads-up the moment the first guests pull in.
Why Visitor Welcome Mode Exists
Hosting Deserves Its Own Property Behavior
Active mode already handles everyday life automatically — deliveries, mail carriers, family arrivals — with no arming or disarming to think about. Visitor mode exists for something different: the days you're hosting. When you're expecting guests, the property shifts from watching for the unexpected to actively welcoming the expected.
Welcome messages
Cameras greet guests with a friendly spoken welcome the moment they first arrive.
Spotlight-guided parking
Tracking spotlights can light the way and help coordinate where your guests park.
First-arrival notification
Get a heads-up the moment the first guests pull in, so nobody waits at the door.
Front-entry visibility
Keep clear awareness around porches, doorways, and guest paths while you host.
Driveway coordination
See arrivals as they happen and keep event parking organized.
Event timeline
Every arrival is organized into your timeline, so you can see who came and when.
Smart Visitor Awareness
Built Around Hosting And Expected Guests
Visitor mode is built for events: spoken welcome messages for arriving guests, spotlights that light the way and help coordinate parking, a notification when the first guests arrive, and a timeline of the whole gathering. The property stays aware while feeling genuinely welcoming.
You Don't Need Visitor Mode For Deliveries
Package Detection and Delivery Guidance work exactly the same in every mode except Off and Quiet. Active mode — the mode your property lives in — fully recognizes mail carriers and delivery drivers and will never spotlight or warn them. Switch to Visitor mode when you're hosting, not when you're expecting a package.
Front-Entry Awareness
More Than A Traditional Doorbell Camera
While you host, the property keeps working in the background: guest arrivals recognized, front entries visible, driveway activity organized — all without an aggressive security posture.
Aware Without Feeling Aggressive
Visitor mode keeps the property intelligent and responsive without creating a high-alert atmosphere for the people you invited. Welcome messages replace warnings, spotlights guide instead of confront, and the system stays aware in the background while you focus on your guests.
Security should adapt to real life.
Part Of Adaptive Property Modes

Completely off — nothing watched, nothing recorded.
Quiet
Cameras record passively while everything else stands down.
Visitor
Welcomes expected guests and helps coordinate events.
Active
The set-and-forget mode your property lives in — it handles everyday life automatically.
High Alert
For when nobody should be coming by right now.
Maximum Security
Keeps everyone off, with plain-language exceptions you can type in.
Platform Balance
Welcoming When You Host. Ready When You Don't.
Visitor Welcome Mode is part of a larger adaptive property defense platform. While this mode greets and guides your guests, the same hardware shifts postures in one tap — Active mode for everyday life, and High Alert or Maximum Security when the property should be confronting activity, not welcoming it.

PerimeterEye is designed around homeowner authority. Users can change Property Modes in one tap, review guest activity, customize how the property greets arrivals, adjust alerts, configure privacy settings, and switch back to Active mode the moment the event winds down.
FAQ
Visitor Welcome Mode Questions
What is Visitor Welcome Mode?+
Visitor mode is the PerimeterEye Property Mode for hosting. When you're expecting guests or throwing an event, cameras greet arrivals with spoken welcome messages, spotlights can light the way and help coordinate guest parking, and you're notified the moment the first guests arrive.
How is Visitor mode different from Active mode?+
Active is the set-and-forget mode your property lives in 24/7. It handles everything day-to-day automatically — package deliveries, mail carriers, even a kid retrieving a ball from the driveway — and escalates only when someone actually threatens your property. Visitor mode is for when you're expecting people: it adds welcome messages, spotlight-guided guest parking, and first-arrival notifications for events and gatherings.
Do I need Visitor mode for package deliveries?+
No. Package detection and delivery guidance work exactly the same in every mode except Off and Quiet. Active mode fully recognizes mail carriers and delivery drivers and will never spotlight or warn them — no mode change needed for deliveries, ever.
Can homeowners still receive alerts?+
Yes. While hosting you still get the alerts that matter — including a heads-up when the first guests arrive — while routine event activity stays calm and organized in your timeline.
When should I use Visitor mode?+
Whenever you're expecting people: dinner parties, backyard gatherings, family events, or a scheduled cleaner or contractor. For everyday life, leave the property in Active mode — it handles routine visitors and deliveries automatically.
Can Visitor Welcome Mode be turned off?+
Yes. Switch modes any time from the wall panel, the iOS app, or by simply asking your PerimeterEye assistant. Most owners return to Active mode once the event winds down.
Is Visitor Welcome Mode designed for everyday activity?+
No — and that's the point. Active mode already covers everyday activity automatically, with no arming or disarming to think about. Visitor mode is a hosting posture you switch into when guests are expected, then switch back out of.
Does the system still watch front-entry areas?+
Yes. Visitor mode keeps full visibility across entries, driveways, and guest paths — it changes how the property greets people, not whether it's paying attention.
A Smarter Way To Host
PerimeterEye Visitor Welcome Mode greets your guests, lights their way, coordinates parking, and tells you the moment the first arrivals pull in — while Active mode handles everyday life the rest of the time.
Feature availability varies by deployment package, property layout, compatible hardware, Property Mode, and configuration.
