Installation Location; Intelligent Image Analysis (Object Recognition); Notes On Object Recognition - Abus PPIC46520 Instruction Manual

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.
Note
The reliability of object detection depends on local factors. In some situations, false
alarms may still occur. Environmental influences such as rain, snow, insects or dirt can
have a negative effect on the results.

7.1. Installation location

The camera with IP66 protection class is suitable for outdoor use. The teach-in into the app is described
under 5. App2Cam Plus: First access. For external access to the camera, you need a router with Internet
access.
Note
Place the camera so that it is not covered by objects. If possible, place the camera under
a canopy or similar to avoid direct sunlight. The camera should not be pointed directly at
a light source or at the sun.

8. Intelligent image analysis (object recognition)

8.1. Notes on object recognition

Intelligent object detection allows you to differentiate between different types of objects (human, animal,
car) during a detection of objects. Thus, you have the possibility that objects, for example, do not trigger
at all or with a lower priority.
Please note that the object detection depends on the distance, the viewing angle and the object size
(seen from camera to object). Please read the section "7 Detection range of the camera".
Note
Intelligent object detection is used to significantly reduce false alarms compared to
traditional methods of motion detection. Traditional methods are, for example, motion
detection via heat radiation by PIR sensors or classic software motion detection without
object detection, which only considers the object size but not the object type.
It always requires environment-dependent individual fine-tuning of sensitivity and use of
"areas without detection" to achieve maximum accuracy, but 100% accuracy and
complete exclusion of false alarms is not possible.
Vehicles which are in the parking position do not trigger any recordings, not until the vehicle is moving
again or there is any movement in the image.
In the case of animal and person detection, recording is triggered even if they are not moving. If a
mannequin or an image with people is visible in the recording area, for example, please hide this area.
Note
When detecting animals, the algorithm checks for the presence of 4 legs. The main target
group of animals to be recognized are dogs and cats.
