Smart Home Security Event Logs

This dataset contains detailed, timestamped logs of smart home security device events, including device type, location, event type and severity, user actions, and network/device health indicators. It is ideal for anomaly detection, home security analytics, and IoT device monitoring, supporting research and development in smart home security and automation.

Behind this dataset

Same schema. As many rows as you need.

These 200 rows came out of a blueprint — 14 columns with generation rules behind each one. Open it in Data Factory to retune a column, add your own, wire in foreign keys, and run it at the size you actually need.

Rules it was built with
  • Device type: camera, sensor, alarm
  • Event: motion, entry, alert, system check
  • Timestamp strict chronological order
  • False positive rate injected at 3%
