Been playing with this camera for a few days and I really like it. Responsive enough despite not being a speed dome. Small form-factor which I love and very subtle. I like that it's almost impossible to make out where the lens is pointing.
Let me begin by setting out why I bought this camera and what I want to achieve:
My questions are regarding the Smart Plan:
1) I can assume that the Global Setting FD is to be left on as the primary purpose of this camera is for FD, yes?
2) If I set a preset (say 1: Overwatch), to Deep IVS or people counting, does this disable FD, while in the said preset, in favour of IVS?
3) Referring to question 2, could I set Overwatch to Deep IVS and then use the tripwires to trigger the camera, via the NVR, to go to another preset?
4) Or, should I just leave all the presets in FD?
Dahua documentation is thin, to say the least, and I haven't found any YT videos covering this.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Let me begin by setting out why I bought this camera and what I want to achieve:
- primarily, face detection at my front entrance and of the considerable foot traffic on the sidewalk and street
- camera stays in "Overwatch" preset all day (camera isn't running at night as it's on a temporary rig)
- camera is triggered to different presets by tripwires set up on other cameras ("overview cameras")
- no touring, panning, patterns, etc.
