Smart Person/Animal Detection

Based on traditional motion detection, smart person/animal detection is a more advanced technology with further optimized algorithms to distinguish people and animals from other objects and therefore reduce false alarms.

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

Especially by setting up the maximum object size and the minimum object size for person detection and vehicle detection, you can reduce false alarms caused by spider webs, light changes, and raindrops. The movements of objects smaller than the minimum size or larger than the maximum size will not trigger alarms. 

• On Reolink App

  1. Log in to the camera, go to the device settings, and tap the Detection Alarm button.
  2. Tap Detection Zone, then you could set the person detection zone, vehicle detection zone, and motion detection zone.
  3. Select no-alarm areas within the monitoring range with the Pen. You can also use Eraser to modify the setting. And then click Save to save the setting.
  4. Go back to the Detection Alarm page and choose Sensitivity > Smart Detection, drag the bar of Person Motion and Vehicle Motion to adjust the sensitivity. And then click Save to save the setting.
  5. Go back to the Detection Alarm page and choose Object Size. For more instructions about setting up the object size, you may refer to How to Set Object Size via Reolink APP.
