English 4. Intelligent image analysis (object recognition) 4.1. Notes on object recognition Intelligent object detection allows you to differentiate between different types of objects (human, animal, car) during an object detection. This gives you the option, for example, of not triggering objects at all or triggering them with a lower priority. Please note that object detection depends on distance, viewing angle and object size (seen from camera to object). Please read the section "4.
English To exclude areas that are particularly susceptible to interference from detection, you can set a hidden area (RONI - Region Of No Interest) here. The area is still visible, but no object detection takes place here and therefore no push message and recording. In case of frequent false triggers caused by objects, it is advisable to adjust the sensitivity of the objects. Often these are already avoided at a lower level.
