I have an older (2018 or so) 5216-16P-4K2SE NVR that has no onboard AI but DOES have the ability to interact with cameras that do.
So I recently began playing with my Dahua HFW5442E-Z4E (Same as EmpireTech part# B54IR-Z4E-S3) and MetaData
I get 4 detection types and the results are mixed. Sometimes it surprises me how accurate it is with a very small zoomed in window of opportunity to capture and categorize, other times it makes you snort coffee through your nose
. Anyway, its kinda cool so I thought I'd share
OSD stats of the 3 basic types (Face Detection is also enabled through a filter on Human Detection, so if it can grab a good face shot, it categorizes it in both places)
And the NVR database under 'AI-Search"
Sometimes it calls Golf Carts Motor Vehicles, and sometimes Non-Motor Vehicle
No luck with license plates yet, likely do to the bad angle.
