BI motion detection VS camera motion detection

[JDfromDB]

Is there any advantage to using one or the other?

Sometimes one works better than the other. The only way to know is to try it. Simply clone a camera and instead of using BI motion detection use the ONVIF triggers. Just don't forget to enable "Get ONVIF Events" in the configuration of the clone camera. It can reduce false triggers depending on the situation.

I agree, mostly it depends on the quality of the camera. Start with a nice high end Axis camera and you get excellent on-camera VMD (video motion detection). Drop down to a really cheap camera and you basically get dumb pixel based motion triggers.
