Some of my Dahua camera's IVS only detects people and vehicles

Yep. We are not the target audience so they have focused it around people and vehicles.
You need to either use BI AI or if it is a 5442 camera use an older firmware

Detecting wildlife with Dahua cameras
I'm starting this thread to be a resource for people wanting to use Dahua IP cameras to monitor and view wildlife. If you're among the majority of users who want your cameras to ignore detection of cats, dogs, and other animals, you are fortunate that the newer cameras do this quite...
Older firmware to allow IPC-T5442TM-AS to detect animals with IVS (V2.800.0000000.8.R.190902)
The only camera model I know this firmware will work with is the fixed-focal IPC-T5442TM-AS. I suspect it will work on other models, but it is definitely incompatible with the varifocal 5442 :(. This version has human/vehicle detection in the...

Yes. Keep hoping I'll see that in a firmware update one day but I'm not holding my breath.

Seems 'hit or miss' for what cameras can have AI disabled for IVS rules.
This is a SD1A404XB-GNR from EmpiretecAndy, within my NVR's settings I can deselect 'AI recognition' and it would do any moving object going past the line.
My NVR5x-I also has this option when using it's in-built AI on generic cameras.

My 5442 triggers on cats even though it only shows people/vehicle in the menu is checked.
Have you verified this, or are just assuming it does what it says? As far as I know, all of the cameras with human/vehicle detection let you turn it off, and they still trigger on only humans and vehicles. Turning off the human/vehicle detection does nothing.

My cat's in the yard all the time and never triggers it. But the one thing that does regularly are very dark colored birds like starlings, fish crows, etc. I get those all the time.

You can easily see why there. With no chicken model and from that angle, the white bird when viewed along it's length, looks very much like the sleek body of a cat. I'm not sure that false is preventable as even with a chicken model, confidence on cat would be high and anything set high enough to rule it out, even if it could from that angle, would result in a lot of missed detections.
Unfortunately for the OP if neither camera nor NVR have anymore options for IVS recognition, it might just be a limitation of using the NVR. The only way I can think around that would be to ditch the NVR for a BI PC and DS or CPAI.
T5442TM-AS intrusion picks up the Magpies and Willy wagtail that visit my front yard almost daily (and the occasional cat).
HDW3549HP-AS-PV picks up cats on the tripwire as they make their way down the side of my house.
lol Absolutely. Im using deep stack and i am sure its a outdated file. I haven't had much time to update or tweek my settings and some day will try out project AI.

I used a camera inside a birdhouse for a few years and had these un-ticked so it triggered on a bird.
If the firmware was a few years old that could explain the bird triggering it. I'm running ancient firmware on 5442s to pick up animals. Newer firmware won't do it, except for occasional animals that the firmware decides are people or vehicles..
