When I first started to set things up, I jumped right to the 2 camera AI trigger setup in BI.
That is, I set up the AI tool with deepstack image detection, and from there, triggered the second camera with higher resolution recording. However, I have long thought about this setup and thought maybe I need to slow down and walk before I run.
What is the typical setup for people? Do most people just configure BI, set the detection area and just let BI handle the triggering of the recording? Is the AI tool an over complexity or is it something that a lot of people are using? I assume there is an ask for it as development continues and I see improvements with it along the way.
I currently run 2 cameras, one is a doorbell camera, and the other a 5542T-ZE. I want to understand how things work in BI and in general and then get things tweaked from there.
1. when BI makes a detection, is it BI that actually detects motion or does BI get a trigger from the camera feed? Such as, my doorbell camera sends me motion alerts, are those what also trigger BI to capture an image jpg, or is BI acting independently?
2. Is the AI tool something that I want as part of my setup?
3. When capturing 24/7, what do people typically choose as the recording resolution? Is the 24/7 feed pulled from the secondary feed or is it just saved as a lower quality, is that an option?
3a. I want to make sure I understand the use of the secondary feed as I know when I started it was said the secondary feed in BI uses very low CPU etc, and want to make sure I properly understand the benefits and uses of it.
4. detection zones, are these more for better detecting or reducing false detections in areas we do not worry about as much for alerts, like the middle of the yard where kids play as this creates lots of recordings we may not really need.
things have been OK to date, but I also know when I first got things installed, I was a bit excited with it all and just sort of threw it all together so it worked. I want to now go back and finalize things and improve on what I have, so am looking for some ideas and pointers.
