Stop tripwire notice for passing cars

Hello. I've noticed a pretty large increase in tripwire notifications for the reflection from cars passing by at night. It looks as if the headlights reflect off a tree in my yard. Is there a known fix for this? I still like having tripwire notifications incase someone does walk up the driveway, but I don't want it everytime a car goes by.
 
I have the same problem and haven't found a solution. In my case the wet pavement acts like a mirror.
 
I dont get it. I see you have triggered alert issues all the time and I have so few I can count them on one hand each month maybe

Is it a way its integrated into BI?

It isn't BI as I have basically no false triggers, even with holiday scarecrows and decorations moving around in the wind.

I did have an inflatable santa send a camera off once in the wind, but a minor adjustment and all was good.

I am sure some field of views are more problematic, but using global setup and not try to do too much with a field of view or slightly adjust the field of view tends to take care of it.

For what it's worth, the jagged lines were suggested to me a while back. I think it was to stop animals setting it off. But I can't remember now. Maybe it was for this very reason.

Ok do a playback with the IVS lines on and see if it is one particular spike that keeps triggering. If it is adjust that.

Or have a night IVS rule that is a tighter area.

Also maybe try intrusion as it may react differently.

Thats in the NVR- you should set all of that on the Camera GUI not the NVR GUI.
Without a very long explanation I say that because it always creates SOME problem over the last 12 years

That said, car lights should not set IVS off. I have many, many IN the actual Streets that dont get set off due to either direction, human filter, or time schedule.

How old are your cameras? Original IVS was prone to false alerts. Model #?

And to be honest I didn't even know I could set them in the camera gui instead of the NVR GUI. How can I do that? And once I do it, will I need to erase the settings in the NVR GUI so it doesn't double up/cause issues?
 
Login to the camera GUI

1- if camera is attached to NVR port then go to Camera registration page and click the blue IE button to go to the actual camera interface.

2- if on an external switch point browser to the camera IP address

Best to make ANY setting that CAN be made in the camera, on the camera.

When you hit refresh (do it a lot) it will synch the NVR settings. Problem is going the other direction NVR->Camera, it doesn’t 100% of the time especially with cameras and NVR’s that are different generations.

It's because I use IVS with no filters so it triggers on animals. I'm testing a 54PRO side-by-side with a 5442 and all of the animals have suddenly disappeared :(, which will lengthen the testing cycle. On false triggers, we had a windstorm last night. The 5442 has about 100 false triggers, and the 54PRO had one (It does think some tree branches are people). A cat walked through and both cameras caught it. The 5442 caught a bird that the PRO didn't but I wont disqualify it over than.

It's a mixed bag. If the 54PRO doesn't pass the testing I'm stuck with loads of false triggers. If it does pass, I have a spouse/spending problem.

Your camera has IVS, but the IVS does not support object classification for Human and Vehicle.
It's any moving object within minimum and maximum size boundaries that will trigger the IVS rule.
