Dahua’s Smart Motion Detection (SMD) technology aims to eliminate false alarms by using advanced algorithms to differentiate between the shape of humans and vehicles within a scene – only triggering an alarm and sending notifications when a person or vehicle is detected.

Unlike Dahua’s Tripwire IVS feature , which detects motion across a pre-set warning line, SMD cameras will report any detected motion. They are therefore well suited to low populated areas, where users wish to be alerted of the presence of people or vehicles anywhere in the scene at all times. 

Cameras and recorders with Smart Motion Detection also sort footage by object classification (people or vehicles), in addition to date and time. This allows for quick target searches and prevents users from having to needlessly trawl through hours of footage to find evidence of an event.
