Recent developments in artificial intelligence technology enhance outdated motion detection features in older cameras. Whereas traditional motion detection features often flag false positives due to changes in light, new Smart Detection capabilities in many of our models offer more precise monitoring of your field of view. These capabilities exceed basic motion detection, providing the ability to detect intruders crossing a virtual tripwire, or track the status of objects to check for theft or abandonment. Additionally, some cameras offer heat map features which highlight hotspots for motion in your recorded area.
Depending on your business, having some of these features may be crucial to effective surveillance. For example, businesses focused on theft prevention would benefit greatly from Missing Object Detection, business owners looking to monitor their loading dock would want a device with Abandoned Object Detection, and companies looking for analytics on foot traffic could find an answer in a People Counting feature. In our summary of standout features for each camera, we’ve identified which Smart Detection capabilities our picks have under Video Analytics.
