The S3 picked up a fairly low contrast mouse at night. I'm starting to think the object filters are in use even though the UI takes them away in Long Distance Mode.

Hi, so reading through the entire thread it sounds like different people have success with different settings? A few questions?
1. AcuPick on or off? If off, only IVS on?
2. IVS sensitivity? Default 5 or something higher? 10?
3. Long Distance Mode on or off? If on**, it looks like the Human/Motor Vehicle/Animals setting is disabled?
Thank you

It somewhat depends on your scene and priorities, but generally speaking IMHO
1- AcuPick OFF IVS only ON
2- I run all of my IVS rules at Max sensitivity
3- Choice- some have had good success with LD mode

Bummed SMD does not also have an animal checkbox now, IVS doesn't work with Scrypted or Synology in Onvif since they are not Onvif motion events and I found SMD to work very well in just telling me if a vehicle or person is moving in the FOV vs IVS being finicky with trip wires and intrusion boxes. Currently back to standard motion events and relying on Scrypted/HKSV notifying me of animals and having motion spam in Synology.
I STILL cannot get notifications for animals to the DMSS app on my iPhone 15 running iOS18.(did not work on iOS17 either) My NVR (NVR8CH-8P-2AI) and cams (multiple S3 cams with latest firmware) DO capture animals really good as I can see it when I run a search on the NVR under AI- IVS. Animals also show on the playback timeline, so I know the cams are doing their job capturing animals. I have tried intrusion and tripwires for animals and also only animals as a target filter for its own rule and that has not helped the problem. But for some darn reason, the DMSS app does not receive notification when an animal is detected by all the cams. All of my cams which are S3 on latest firmware behave the same (detect animals correctly but do not report notification to DMSS). I, of course, have "intrusion/tripwire" notifications enabled on the app as I properly get notified of motor vehicles and humans. I have spoke to @bigredfish (gets notified on the DMSS app of animals) and he has walked me through alot but he has an older NVR and is out of suggestions. Wondering if you have a newer NVR and if maybe there is a setting you are aware of that maybe I missed. Any suggestions that come to mind. @steve1225 do you have any input on this? This is driving me nuts!! LOL I have several screenshots of my setting but rather than flood this thread with them at first, Ill wait to see what you guys say. TIA for your help!!
@StevenFromTexas Either of you guys use the DMSS app to receive animal notifications? Also wonder why you both have motion detection enabled.. I thought we should not use motion if we have IVS rules enabled?

I use MD in two specific spots where there is a very low chance of false alerts and only at night. I use this in conjunction with IVS.
I have found that using SMD in conjunction with IVS can create problems with underpowered cameras

Gotcha. Thanks

I only watch/record/replay/search the video from a television monitor wired to the network video recorder and/or one of the monitors wired to my desktop computer. No notifications in use to a phone, for instance.
I haven't changed any of the settings that I previously posted near the beginning of this topic. Everything is being recorded that I want recorded when I want it recorded.

Gotcha... I am successfully recording animals from all cameras as well, however just cant get the notifications to DMSS... maybe someone else has additional suggestions. Thanks for your input!

Yeah, I should have just said I'm not using the notification feature for animals and stopped there.
No worries... Ill take any and all input at this point...This is a head banger for me...lolYeah, I should have just said I'm not using the notification feature for animals and stopped there.
