Object Size

It can support setting up maximum object size and minimum object size at the same time for the person and vehicle detection separately. If the moving objects are smaller than the minimum object size or bigger than the maximum object size, it will not trigger the alarm to reduce the false alarm caused by spider webs, light changes, and raindrops.

With alarm delay, the camera alarm will be triggered only when the detected object stays in the detection zone longer than a set time. Here are the instructions.

Motion Alerts
