Different types of Triggers for the same camera, Human-HumanInZone-Ect

Hello,

I live on a busy street and have many people walk across my street, across my lawn, ect. I would like the classify these as three different events, Human Spotted, Human on Lawn, and Human Close. Then I want to save each recorded event to different folders, and only alert on Human Close.

I can see the different zone settings, but I don't see a way to have alerts act differently based on their trigger.

Is there a way to have multiple alert settings per camera, or is there another method to consider?

Thank you!
 
You could consider cloning the camera, and then setting each clone of the camera to alert on it's specific target object.
 
Which camera is it? Does it have built in AI?

I set up within the camera different IVS zones for these areas and then BI acts on them per my request.

For example, I want it to trigger on a person walking past my house but not alert me.

Another IVS zone will trigger and alert me when the cross my personal space boundary.

I have both Annke NCD800s and T54IR-ZE-S3s. The IVS triggers are pretty good but I didn't know I could have BI respond to them different. How do I set that up?
 
That is the beauty of clones is that they take minimal additional CPU resources.

And totally a YMMV scenario, but some actions I have found that the clone camera can be problematic.

Fortunately newer versions of BI have more functionality so you can do it all from one camera now.

Here is how it is done.

Under the ONVIF Triggers comes up all of the camera events it listens to. Each one corresponds to something in the camera - motion detection, SMD, IVS tripwire, IVS intrusion, etc.

There is no need to figure out which is what if you are just using IVS rules, so you can turn all of those off.

Instead, either keep track of what each IVS rule is named (IVS-1, IVS-2, etc.) or rename each rule in the camera GUI to what it is - driveway and public for example. Or one for animal, one for person, etc.

Then simply hit the + sign and in the Contains block put in the name of the IVS rule (IVS-1 or if you renamed it something else) and then in the memo you put down what it is for.

As they populate, they will show up in the Listen for:

Then you go into the alerts tab and the stuff you put in the Memo field can be used for the required AI:

Use the "New zones/sources only (additive)" option if you are going to have several IVS rules being used in one camera and want to be able to do something with each rule separately. So in your case you would have an alert that alerts you for driveway but an alert that is just on the timeline for roadway.

The "New zones/sources only (exclusive)" option is a cool feature if you want to primarily use IVS rules for triggering your alerts, but you want to use BI motion to capture wildlife and other things. Prior to this option, you would need to use a clone because if the motion triggered first, then the IVS wouldn't trigger. Now you can use one camera and this trigger option and the object can trigger BI motion first and if it then triggers IVS, it will alert you of the IVS trigger.

Thanks for all the details! The screenshots are very helpful!

Is there a way to know what rule attaches to what?

On the T54IR-ZE-S3 I can set the IVS rule names, but on the Annke I don't see a way to set the IVS names.
I set up three different 'intrusion' zones 1,2,3, but I'm not sure what they map to.
 
You will have to play with it.

My suggestion would be for the Annke, set up one rule and then have someone go outside and trigger it and see which one it is.
