HI all,
I bought a series of different Dahua-style turret cameras for my recent security cam install. I'm using Synology Surveillance Station as my recording device.
I'm realizing that cameras have a variety of different motion detection features. A couple of the cameras have "advanced event detection" where they can identify humans and vehicles. These have been the most reliable for me - I have them set to notify on only human or vehicle detection, which gives me a fairly concise set of notifications to review when they occur.
Some of the cameras (including these inexpensive Amcrest:
) have only what seems like a basic motion detection. Even adjusting the detection field is producing a ton of events - whether from the sun coming in or out, an insect flying around the camera at night, or cob webs. I can have constant notifications for hours of the day or night with this camera.
I have been trying to figure out what options are available for this Amcrest when upgraded to Dahua firmware (Amcrest IP5M-T1179EW is the same as IPC-HDW2531T-AS-S2, I think) - but I don't think the Dahua camera has face/vehicle detection either. It does have Smart Plan, Tripwire, Intrusion, but I don't know if these offer any benefits over the Amcrest that will help with my false motion detections.
Can anyone let me know of some tips to reduce false motion alerts, or some benefits of Smart Plan, Tripwire, Intrusion, or IVS features that would help?
Thanks!
