How Does Smart Motion Detection Work
#AI

Motion
detection is a great tool for analyzing a scene and sending alerts when motion
occurs. But it’s prone to false alarms because let’s face it, there are a lot
of things in a scene that can move: a tree branch blowing in the wind, a stray
cat, things that aren’t truly a threat. Smart Motion Detection (SMD) is
an advanced technology that mitigates false alarms and keeps your security
operations running efficiently. But how does SMD really work? Let’s find out.
Put the Algorithm to Work
A deep learning algorithm lets SMD differentiate between human and vehicular shapes within a scene, with current accuracy rate of up to 99%. You don’t have to draw lines to define specific areas to be monitored; once you activate SMD with one easy click, an SMD-enabled camera and recorder with SMD firmware will get to work identifying people and vehicles anywhere in the camera’s field of view.
Use It Where You Need an Extra Set of Eyes
When
limited resources mean fewer onsite security personnel, SMD is a great way to
keep an eye on unattended scenes that normally have limited activity. This
includes areas where illegal dumping is a concern, loading docks, warehouses,
employee entrances, no-parking zones, and hazardous areas. Areas that need
additional attention at particular times of day, such as a hotel swimming pool
after the pool has been closed for the evening, are also great use cases for
SMD deployment. By constantly improving its AI capacities, SMD can also provide
longer detection range.
Get Only the Alerts You Really Need
When
a person or vehicle enters the field of view, your SMD system will trigger
searchable alerts. You can opt to have push notifications sent to your mobile
app, as well.
Search With Ease
Because
the camera filters motion-activated objects depending on parameters defined by
the user, it becomes easier and faster for users to search through mass amounts
of video data to review and retrieve data history. This playback feature is
called Quick Target Search.
Gain Peace of Mind
Annoying
false alarms can make you numb to new alerts, increasing the chance that you’ll
miss something you really need to see. The highly accurate motion detection of
SMD apprises you of true threats to your home or business without bombarding
you with useless information.
SMD Overview
The
Smart Motion Detection technology offers an array of advantages that can significantly
optimize monitoring operations. Equipped with AI and advanced deep-learning
algorithm, SMD enables recognition of human and vehicle with accurate alarm and
quick target search function, enhancing video analysis efficiency and allowing
users to focus on real threats.
