Smart person and vehicle detection

Based on traditional motion detection, smart person/vehicle detection is a more advanced technology with further optimized algorithms to reduce false alarms and filter person/vehicle events from all movements.  

For more accurate detection and fewer unwanted alarms, you can customize the detection zone, sensitivity, object size, and camera recording schedule for the person and vehicle detection on Reolink App/Client. Take the recording schedule as an example here.

• On Reolink App

  1. Log in to your camera, go to Device settings > Camera Recording / Email Alerts / Push Notification > Schedule, and select the detection type (Person/Vehicle/Others).
     For example, if you want to receive a push only when a person is detected, please only select Person here and do not enable Vehicle or Others.
