Non-Human CP-Ai Alerts Going Through To Pushover

[Barboots]

Hi all.

Are these yellow box motion detections from BI or the Dahua cam, and what might I need to look at to stop them getting past the Code Project AI "human" filter? I'm wondering if it's that the Ai engine is being overrun with events, and if so what are good techniques to prevent this without losing positive detections among the "noise"?

Aside from this one thing remaining, the system this group has taught me to build up is absolutely awesome.

Cheers!

No one has any suggestions regarding this?

You do realize that what is tripping the motion detection is likely from rain falling, that is what is causing the vertical white lines in the image. The yellow boxes appear to be from BI, not sure why they are causing a trigger. Have you enabled the dat files for CPAI in BI, it would tell you what AI is doing. Do you have motion detection enabled in the camera or just in BI. Is there actually an alert being generated in BI for the motion detection, I know nothing about pushover notification, you need to focus on what BI is doing, perhaps you are sending out alerts for non confirmed motion detection!

Pushover is a significant portion of the question.

I have spent considerable time focusing on what BI is doing. The "false" notifications are not in BI when I do investigations later. The CPAI log has no "human" entry at the event time, and that is all that it should be passing. All notifications are turned off in the cam, and as we both suspect, the yellow box is a BI thing.

Are they camera triggers bypassing CPAI?

Pushover simply sends when the criteria is met to send a push, so you have a setting that is meeting the criteria.

Overloading CPAI would actually result in the opposite and send nothing.

Maybe delete the camera in BI and set up again as I suspect you have an unwanted (either intentionally and forgot or the camera got corrupt) that is sending this.

They're certainly a cam trigger, however I was confident my settings routed everything generated by BI through CPAI. My CPAI settings are all cut and paste copies of each other too. If you meant a camera-generated trigger, I've gone through checking all of the Dahua settings are disabled several times. Plus, these wouldn't have the yellow box... right? If not, maybe I best reset the cam?

Thanks for the advice on CPAI under overload. I'll happily scratch that line of thinking.

I'm pretty sure that I have previously removed and reintroduced the cam in BI, but I'll do it tomorrow and report back. The odd thing here is that BI has no record of the trigger which went out to Pushover...

Depending on your BI version, some versions couldn't send camera generated triggers through CPAI, so they go thru unchecked by CPAI.

BI will turn on SMD/MD on some cameras.

Make sure you are confirming with good ole Internet Explorer (yeah we know LOL, but it is still available) as many have seen in Edge with IE mode that MD/SMD is disabled, yet shows it is enabled when opening up with Explorer at the same time.

Does this apply to the the more recent Dahua cams which don't require a plug-in?

Yes, right you were. Deleting and re-adding the camera fixed this. It does look like it was a BI glitch rather than "me problem", as I copied across every setting... and leaving both versions of the cam running only the original falsed.

Thank you Wittaj. Just in time for the rain...

Ignore repeat quote/question above. Phat phingered it.

Yes, this issue someone had with a camera showing SMD/MD off was a new camera built in 2025 with the new GUI.

The firmware wasn't rewritten and instead just added on, so the firmware is still based on Explorer.

Glad the delete/add fixed for it for you!
