Lol yeah, he's been around before, has a very stout shape lol.
Of the different camera models I have I've found the 42xx and 52xx series to be the most sensitive at picking up tripwire crossings. Sometimes I have to play a clip a few times before I can find what caused the trigger. I'm experiencing the downside of that tonight with a spider web hanging in front of one of the cameras and it has been continuously triggering for a few hours, just as bad as never triggering. Even thought the 2231 is a 2 MP starlight, its IVS does not trigger as easily as the older 2 MP starlights. It's still mostly ok with picking up animals. I assume they made it less sensitive in the name of reducing false triggers.....it's pretty impressive it detected the fox!
Just to clarify this Z4E is 54XX series? (in case there are a couple different models, but it's a IPC-HFW5442E-Z4E. The Z12E is a 52XX). But yeah, still impressively sensitive.Of the different camera models I have I've found the 42xx and 52xx series to be the most sensitive at picking up tripwire crossings.
I feel like I have better results with tripwires. It's a more intuitive thing after trying both, nothing that I can defend with hard data. The animals usually don't behave the way I want them to. Some days there is nothing, other days it's like a traveling zoo. A couple of nights ago there were a few coyotes, raccoons, feral cats, and a badger. The night before, a bobcat. Occasionally foxes, porcupines, and possums. One time a scorpion walking by triggered the IVS, but no triggers ever with snakes, maybe because they're going by too slowly. All the squirrels disappeared a couple of weeks ago when it went from summer to winter in about 24 hours flat. When desperate, I use a little RC car to test if the IVS is working.
Yep ->Can add the T2431T-AS-S2 to the list of cams with IVS that doesn't trigger for wildlife with no target filter selected. I was hopeful but not surprised since it's a newer cam. Has missed many foxes, a few raccoons, and a huge deer that lingered there the other day that I thought for sure would have triggered it. Gets me every time though.
Seems al new models are moving to vehicle/human detection only. A real shame Dahua is actively removing functionality.In 2023 we will update some old models to a newer version. I will keep update here.
1. IPC-T2431T-AS(1/3CMOS) update to IPC-T2431T-AS S2 version, 1/2.9CMOS, S2 version will support the SMD( accurate detection of vehicle and human ). Currently stocks on Amazon already use the latest new stocks.
2. IPC-LPR237B-IR update to 4MP IPC-LPR437B-IR, this will be updated at Later Jan/Feb. Price will keep same as 2mp we sell.
Oh don't get me wrong; I like the fact there's build-in human/vehicle detection. For a lot of situations that's hugely beneficial like you said; brings down false alarms.IPC-T2231T-ZS right now still can accept animals trigger, you don't know how much complaint we get when false alarms happen, this bring lots of troubles for users too, so not easy to make everyone happy, maybe later we do 1 model for animals watching only. AI algorithm will focus more on human and vehcles.
The problem is that having the checkboxes for human and vehicle detection raises the expectation that if they are unchecked, the AI will function in a manner that allows for other (ie: animal) movement detection. If they don't make any difference (which seems to be the case), they should be removed, period.IPC-T2231T-ZS right now still can accept animals trigger, you don't know how much complaint we get when false alarms happen, this bring lots of troubles for users too, so not easy to make everyone happy, maybe later we do 1 model for animals watching only.

Personally, I'd like the checkboxes to stay, but only if they are genuinely functional.
