Anybody has experimented with or has any recommendations on how to deal with this?
I had the opportunity to test Dahua and Hikvision cameras.
They both have really nice "smart features" as they are able to detect when:
While I can see these features being bulletproof indoors (where the only thing moving should be a person), they become almost useless outdoors (for me at least) due to trees, wind, animals and even the occasional spider crawling in front of the camera.
So I was wondering: Isn't there already a solution that can detect human body and alert me only - and if only - a person is present? If not, how are you remediating false positives?
With today's technology the perfect solution is so "easy" to build that I almost can't believe a it doesn't already exist.
If I can't find anything I might build it, the principle is simple (using AI):

- "Something" is crossing a line.
- "Something" is entering or leaving an area.
- "Something" is moving through the picture.

If I can't find anything I might build it, the principle is simple (using AI):
- Tap in one of the camera's stream or NVR (low res, low frame rate )
- Continuously run each frame through a pre-trained model
- Take action if it detects a person, an animal or both in at least one frame.
- Communicate with NVR so it can bookmark the video or use its built in alert system
- Send an email or text message with the video frame.
- Depending on time of the night, turn lights on (through integration with smart home) and... wake me up so I can take a shoot at the bastard
