Detection Options
Regarding the detection options of this camera, it allows a wide variety of detections, although not all of them can be activated simultaneously. Regarding the detection through the image, we have:
- vehicle detection
- people detection
- Motion detection in general.
We can choose vehicle and person detection together without problems, but if we choose “motion” in general, the other two options are deactivated, so it is something that we must take into account.
Regarding detection through sound, we have:
- Glass breakage detection.
- Sound detection above a certain threshold.
These two options are mutually exclusive, that is, either we choose one or the other, but both options cannot be chosen at the same time.
In the following video you have all the details about the display options, configuration settings, the possibility of adding different automations with the detection of people, vehicles, movement in general, glass breakage detector and sound detector in general. This camera is one of the most complete that we can buy at a domestic level.
