I'm getting confused. Remind me, you're using VMD (everything else is OFF) and you're using what model camera?
VMD has no tripwire, its one big box for all 3 detections
On VMD screen, click the min and max icons next to the video, Max should be entire screen, Min should be nothing, asking you to draw, dont.

Ok.
1- So restart/reboot doesn’t wipe any settings if you do it from the camera gui
2- @steve1225 probably knows better than I but with Acupick, IVS, AND VMD all running you aren’t getting full VMD.
3- Acupick is completely useless in a residential environment
4- I tried same and quickly learned if you want full functionality of VMD you run it stand alone.
What model camera is this again?

OK mine I showed you is a Z4 so same camera diff lens

I'm not saying it doesnt miss one now and then, it does, but very few. And it does have a hard time deciding if the vehicle is a golf cart vs a car sometimes
Proud of this one, with a 50% blocked view it still got the Vehicle and the Human

If this camera is being used for LPR, it is the same comments about IVS and the tight field of view - it may be problematic for fast moving because the camera needs to see the object, determine if it is something to be triggered on, and then alert if it is.

And I think he has to decide if its priority is VMD or LPR.
You may have a good angle and be lucky to get both manually, or a newer top end NVR that can do both with VMD enabled and do ANPR, (I think) but otherwise he needs to decide what the purpose of the camera is. If its LPR, then turn off VMD and use IVS and a MD line as I showed. If its counting and seeing all 3 types, do what I mentioned for VMD
Or spend $700+ for a top line NVR to do both under VMD

I don't use the NVR for any AI functions. All of this is being set up in the camera GUI. I currently have a tripwire setup on the camera (IVS1) and Fast-moving setup (IVS2).
While this camera is being employed to see plates, there is no AI involved in doing so. I need to physically wade through the motion indications on the record timeline or review the notification on my mobile app and snapshot the plate manually (my current preferred method).
My view is as tight/open as bigredfish and I can only get human detection. Infact, bicycles going by are registered as humans

Yep and I need to go back and review all pages because as I was going through it, I've seen replies that I somehow missed 
It works now. And the whole time, I did not know you need to select each target statistic detection and make sure it is enabled. Obviously, vehicle statistics will show as traffic statistics.You don't have it turned on

And keep in mind at that tight field of view, it may not count many vehicles.
You chose the wrong cameras (LPR) for testing IVS lol
There's a LOT to learn in the new Web5 GUI. It's very powerful, just not intuitive

I always thought there was an awful lot of traffic in our loop around neighborhood, but traffic counting confirms there is a lot of traffic for a neighborhood that has no pass through to a destination. As I said we are on the corner of the last road in a loop neighborhood. There's nowhere to go except loop out back to the main road. In roughly a half day after I was able to figure out traffic counting, there were 94 vehicles registered. Now some of that is duplicates (same car coming and going back out the same way), but again, that's a lot of traffic for a hood with no place to go.

Where the hell is everybody going to on a dead end? I smell something fishy there
Same on a similar sized area - it is shocking how many deliveries, and just how many runs people make!
I thought I could get by with the Plate Recognizer free 2,500 per month plan and blew thru that in a week LOL
