Does Smart Motion Detection (SMD) work with IP cameras?

  • Our Hybrid DVRs have an AI function called Smart Motion Detection (SMD). SMD is superior to General Motion Detection in a few key ways:

    1. Reduced False Alarms:
      • Traditional motion detection works by analyzing pixel changes in the video feed, which can be triggered by environmental factors like moving trees, shadows, or abrupt lighting changes.
      • SMD uses AI to specifically detect humans, vehicles, or both, ignoring irrelevant environmental noise. This makes the system more reliable and trustworthy.
    2. Customizable Detection:
      • SMD allows users to configure the system to detect only humans, only vehicles, or both. This level of customization ensures that the system focuses on relevant events.
    3. AI-Based Processing:
      • Unlike traditional motion detection, which relies on pixel changes, SMD uses AI to analyze video data. This ensures that the system can differentiate between objects like humans and vehicles, providing more accurate detection.

     

    However, SMD is a function that is only supported over BNC connections. It is not compatible with any IP cameras.
