1. I noticed that while you were on your porch, the camera AI counted you as +3 humans. Does that mean it doesn’t save your image to a database in order to detect same/returning person later? (Figured out while writing and re-reading this thread that I probably need ZFR model for that.)
2. Is the tested camera different from the HFW7442H-Z4 version only by max focal length 32mm instead of 12mm?
3. Was just reading a reply from Andy and he told me these kind of AI cameras require special types of NVRs to get all the AI functions working:
“Pro 4.0 AI NVR”
I didn’t quite understand if that meant any “AI” marked NVR? Like:
US $270.49 5% OFF|New AI Network Video Recorder 4216 I 16Channel 1U AI Network Video Recorder , free DHL shipping|Surveillance Video Recorder| - AliExpress or
US $701.0 5% OFF|New AI NVR Ulrta Smart 5216 16P I 16Channel 1U 16PoE AI Network Video Recorder ,free DHL shipping|Surveillance Video Recorder| - AliExpress (more expensive)
Which one did you use? Is it worth going for the more expensive one for home use (more bandwidth, more computing power I assume but there was no CPU information)?
I think this camera will be perfect to control the road as I can mount it only 60ft from middle of road and only 25 degrees angled from facing plates straight on. Should work excellent day and night and is probably an overkill for my conditions but I didn’t find the Z version in Andy’s shop, only Z4. ZFR is definitely not for me as I need to keep ANPR more. Sigh, would be nice to have both
This looks exactly what I want:
I am in a dead-end alley and it would be amazing if I could get an alert for every unknown car that doesn’t have owner in our alley. This is a sort of a database building. There just isn’t one for faces/people for this model it seems.
4. Just to be sure: I don’t need any 3rd party subscription or making any API calls over internet for simply saving/analyzing the license plates and saving (not recognizing!) images of people walking by?
Foud it later in thread, thank you!
