English 7. Camera coverage area With intelligent object detection, the detection range of the camera is based on the selected object. If the object is outside this area, it can be "seen" by the camera and displayed on the live image, but it does not trigger an exposure.
English The detection area of the camera must be aligned as shown above so that the Intelligent Object Detection works smoothly. If the camera is installed at a steep angle to the ground, some objects will be detected too late or not at all. The reason for this is that the detection is not sufficient to specify the object more precisely.
Page 18
English If several objects are detected simultaneously in the image, the object detected first is always displayed in the event list. For example, when a vehicle enters the driveway, the event list shows the vehicle as the trigger, even if a person exits the car in the video sequence. The person is nevertheless marked with a colored recognition frame in the video.
Page 19
English The following settings are recommended for the various objects: Person: Medium Animal: Medium Vehicle: Medium Note The reliability of object detection depends on local factors. In various situations, false alarms can occur. In particular, environmental influences such as rain, snow, insects, dirt and difficult lighting conditions can have a negative effect on the results.
