AI thinks my flag is a person

[harleyl7]

I have a flag right on my front porch and I was getting false positives on a person. It's my flag, I tried raising the confidence level to 60% and still no luck..

Any ideas?

Block parts of it out in the zone. This will prevent that area from being analyized.

I had a similar problem with two mailboxes. Went into the camera and set a privacy zone over each of them. Problem solved.

The problem with that is the area is not recorded during a motion event. If you just remove the are in the BI zone it will still record that portion.

True, but in this case the area is quite small under 3 or at most 5 percent of the detection area. When playing the clips back using "tuning" DS was still identifying the mailboxes as "person" which made me use the privacy mask in the camera. It has not effected motion detection, but the camera is a clone just for traffic detection. As with everything, YMMV.

I'll have to mess around with it on BI tonight. My only hesitation is that anyone walking up to my door has to talk past that flag

The only alternatives I can think of would be to move the flag or move the camera. That sounds too close for a privacy zone in the camera without compromising detection in BI.

Agreed. Might have to move the flag elsewhere.

Thats fine. As long as your remove only parts of the flag, it wont analyze those areas and thus wont return a person. It will still trigger when a person walks by.

hmm cant seem to find where to add a zone

This is covered in the bI help file but here you go.

Camera settings > Trigger >Motion Sensor > Configure > Use Zones & Hot Spot > Edit

You do need to check the "Motion Sensor" box and the "Use Zones & Hotspot" box to turn them on. You can also use trigger from the camera, which I am doing, but that takes additional configuration on the "Video" tab for the camera.

Thank you, I think I got it working!
