I'm getting confused. Remind me, you're using VMD (everything else is OFF) and you're using what model camera?
VMD has no tripwire, its one big box for all 3 detections
On VMD screen, click the min and max icons next to the video, Max should be entire screen, Min should be nothing, asking you to draw, dont.

Ok.
1- So restart/reboot doesn’t wipe any settings if you do it from the camera gui
2- @steve1225 probably knows better than I but with Acupick, IVS, AND VMD all running you aren’t getting full VMD.
3- Acupick is completely useless in a residential environment
4- I tried same and quickly learned if you want full functionality of VMD you run it stand alone.
What model camera is this again?

OK mine I showed you is a Z4 so same camera diff lens

I'm not saying it doesnt miss one now and then, it does, but very few. And it does have a hard time deciding if the vehicle is a golf cart vs a car sometimes
Proud of this one, with a 50% blocked view it still got the Vehicle and the Human

If this camera is being used for LPR, it is the same comments about IVS and the tight field of view - it may be problematic for fast moving because the camera needs to see the object, determine if it is something to be triggered on, and then alert if it is.

And I think he has to decide if its priority is VMD or LPR.
You may have a good angle and be lucky to get both manually, or a newer top end NVR that can do both with VMD enabled and do ANPR, (I think) but otherwise he needs to decide what the purpose of the camera is. If its LPR, then turn off VMD and use IVS and a MD line as I showed. If its counting and seeing all 3 types, do what I mentioned for VMD
Or spend $700+ for a top line NVR to do both under VMD

I don't use the NVR for any AI functions. All of this is being set up in the camera GUI. I currently have a tripwire setup on the camera (IVS1) and Fast-moving setup (IVS2).
While this camera is being employed to see plates, there is no AI involved in doing so. I need to physically wade through the motion indications on the record timeline or review the notification on my mobile app and snapshot the plate manually (my current preferred method).
My view is as tight/open as bigredfish and I can only get human detection. Infact, bicycles going by are registered as humans

Bicycles will often/usually be shown as humans as the camera sees the human first. Bicycles are a bit more complex. I see the same with some golf carts.
We’re talking about $200 cameras not AI data center level modeling

Yep and I need to go back and review all pages because as I was going through it, I've seen replies that I somehow missed
