Hi all, i am a new owner of a relatively basic empiretech setup, currently 5 cameras (3x t-180 and 2x T (2.8mm) and an NVR 5-el.
All working as advertised apart from the AI. I initially set up the 3 180 degree cams and found the AI disappointing. It detects people only relatively centrally and even then, often misses people entirely, even 4-6 metres from cam.
At the same time they often identify the dog as a person. Andy suggested the 180 degree cam is not great for AI compared to the normal T model. After that i installed the first 2.8 mm T cam, and honestly the AI seems to be almost non-functional.
Mounted 3m from floor and pointing down a narrow area behind house. I've walked up and down it in a zig zag for 30 seconds, wearing bright clothes and been entirely un-detected. Every so often I'll get a brief detection, but rarely. This is with sensitivity on HIGH.
I've tried the AI on the camera and also on the NVR (which seemed to maybe work very slightly better, but barely).
Having said that, it's entirely possible I've no idea what I'm doing and there are some settings i can adjust, the ai page on the NVR has many sub headings, I've just been using the stuff in the "SMD" sub menu.
Given the T cameras are supposed to do face recognition and identify clothing types etc, it would be strange if the cannot even detect a basic person. Any pointers to setup guides/tutorials or advice from experts would be most appreciated. Thanks!
