Can WizSense DVR provide human/vehicle detection with regular HDCVI cameras?

[mikrotik]

Hi,

I’m trying to understand how Dahua smart detection works. Specifically, I’d like to know:

• Can a WizSense DVR perform human and vehicle classification using standard analog HDCVI cameras?
• Or do I need to use WizSense IP cameras to get accurate detection and push notifications only for people/vehicles (via DMSS app)?
• Does the smart filtering happen entirely in the DVR, or does it require “smart” cameras too?
• How reliable is the detection if only the DVR is smart and the cameras are basic?

I’m comparing analog (HDCVI) + smart DVR vs IP smart cameras, and I want to understand what delivers better results in practice.

Some people mentioned that it is far better to use IP cameras with smart functions as it results in less false alarms, more accurate detection and thus notifications.

Thanks in advance!

I will give you the same reply as on reddit:

Always better performance will be with IP solution only. Especially when done on medium/higher models, not the cheapest ones...
Analog DVR solution is only for situation when You have existing analog cameras You DON'T want to upgrade. Modern DVR can add human/vehicle classification as SMD or IVS to existing analog cams..

if this is a new project - always use IP over CAT5 cables.. this is a future...

You didn't wrote how many cams and what resolution?

Please be aware that DVRs have MANY MANY limits, which overlaps each other..
there are separate limits how many cameras at which resolution at which frame rate they can encode and store.. there are separate limits on how many channels DVRs can do SMD / IVS functionality..
you must read small print on DVRs specific models spec sheets..

good DVRs from higher lines are not cheap (you pay extra for functionality, which normally should be done on cameras)..
