Person / vehicle alerts

How to setup person / vehicle detection for your Edge Controller based system.

Overview

The Edge Controller can handle object detection and camera alerts in two different ways:

• Object detection using the Edge Controller's built in AI processor

• Camera based object detection

The AI built into the Edge Controller, whilst extremely powerful, is still a beta feature and is not recommended for production use yet. We are working on it as fast as possible and hope to make it generally available soon.

We therefore recommend that you set up motion detection or object detection directly on the cameras, and forward the alerts to a filtering service such as Calipsa or DeepAlert. This requires no integration with the Edge Controller.

Object detection is enabled / disabled on a per camera basis with the Enabled toggle. If it is disabled, no object detection will be performed on the images.

Upload Video Clip determines whether the Edge Controller will attempt to upload a video clip to go along with the snapshots of the event. In order to upload a video clip, recording must be enabled for the camera.

Scene and Instant Alarm On Detection no longer have any effect and will be removed shortly.
