What is Smart Motion Detect?

Smart Motion Detect uses sophisticated A.I. algorithms to determine if if the subject on camera is a human, vehicle, or animal. This ability can greatly reduce false notifications to your mobile device. SMD can also be used to filter your video searches during playback, so that you can pinpoint precise times and subjects that may have appeared on camera.

Smart Motion Detect Comparison

SMD+, SMD 3.0, and SMD 4.0 have variations for their abilities and precision. The primary benefit for SMD 4.0 over 3.0 is not just more accuracy with animals, but also with colors and better recognition for objects at night. All SMD types are effective for most scenarios, however, SMD 4.0 has significant advantages in not just distance but in object recognition as well. *PTZ cameras with SMD have greatly enhanced distance recogntion because of their ability to zoom, which can go upwards of 5000ft for detection distance depending on model.

SMD Smart Search

Smar search enables you to quickly find recorded events based on SMD detections of humans and vehicles. Simply choose the date and time and the NVR will present any footage containing either a vehicle or a human detection for that time.

SMD Notifications

SMD eliminates false notifications by only sending alerts to your phone when a human or vehicle is present. There's nothing more annoying than opening a motion notification just to see the wind blowing the backyard bushes, with SMD, you only get the notifications that matter.
