hello everyone, I recently bought two dahua ipc-hfw1430ds-saw-0280b cameras exclusively for recording the yard in front of and behind the house, up to about 25m.

the connection to the Internet is wireless, and I installed a micro SD card with 256 GB of memory in the camera. I made all the settings through the DMSS application and the camera connected to the iPhone phone.

in the application I can follow the live of what the camera sees, I can count playback, but the camera has so many false triggers that it's maddening to watch.
in the settings, there is an option for the "smd" function, but I can't turn it on and thus enable the AI that would save the recordings only in case a person is found in front of the camera. I hope you understand me and that you have a solution for my problem... of course the phone does not receive a notification when it comes to human detection because the camera does not recognize a person. wherever I read, the camera has the smd function, does anyone know if it really has that capability?
 
A few things.

That is a cheap budget camera shoving 4MP on a sensor designed for 720p, so don't expect too much from it.

ALL camera settings should be done via a web browser and the camera GUI, not the DMSS app. Use Edge with IE tab or Internet Explorer for full capability. The app should only be used for live viewing and playback.

SMD sucks and most here wouldn't rely on it. MD has to be enabled before SMD can work. But I do not think that camera has SMD.

thanks mate for the answer.
I somehow managed to set notifications to arrive when the camera detects some motion, but I can't set it to recognize Human, Vehicle or per. I read on the internet that the camera, even though it is low budget, has a human detection function, but I'm not sure that I can set it up. if someone has experience and knows, I would be grateful for a tutorial
