Animal detection?

I have IPC-T5442T-ZE and IPC-T2231T-ZS-S2 cameras. Is there any new firmware for either one that allows detection of animals?

Also the daylight image quality of the T2231T-ZS is fairly poor. Does anyone have any recommended settings?

Thank you!
 
The 5442 series of cameras includes the T5442T-ZE

I don’t believe you can update your S2 versions to S3 with FW and get animal detection

The 2231 doesn't have the human/vehicle filters does it? If not, it will detect animals. Same thing for the 5442-S2 using very old firmware. Now if you're asking for animal detection without all the false alarms for spider webs, blowing leaves, rocks that the camera thinks have moved, and so forth, neither of those models will detect animals with IVS, even if they're dancing right in front of the camera.

Just to clarify, the 5442-S3 does NOT have animal detection, correct? This statement is about not being able to upgraded from S2 to S3.

Incorrect

My 5442 S3 cameras do indeed have animal detection

S2 cameras do Not

You can’t upgrade from S2 to S3
 
May be FW date dependent.

I have 5 running, 4 have it. I think all 2025 FW has it
