Version 6

I'm wondering how the new built in AI in V6 might function with the IVS rules in (dahua's newish) cameras. The IVS (animal version) rules work great to trigger when needed, and I have (almost) no false triggers. So what would I expect the new built in AI to do? Just another confirming layer after the IVS triggers? or is the expectation that it would replace IVS (and one would set the camera to trigger often and have AI sort it out?) Would that be likely to be better than IVS? (or is the built in AI a tool for cameras that don't have a great IVS system already?)

I suspect that the built in AI is just a replacement for the external CPAI system, as it was only just released and there is no documentation any thoughts would be nothing more than speculation!

Exactly. I have not seen where AI will do anything particularly awesome for me and my 9 cameras around my house. I am certainly open to hearing what the benefits are if someone can enlighten me.

There is documentation in the included help file.

I just looked as far as the change log and there was no entry

So before I try to write a novel on the subject, what are you trying to detect and do you get a lot of false alarms!

I started with cpai and it did a decent job of filtering out the triggers from BI (that was set to trigger on evereything). It did eliminate most false triggers (rain, snow, wind, small animals, sun/shade changes) and alert me to people, cars, and animals (I fight the deer problem!)
Then when new firmware arrived (thanks Andy) that let IVS do the same work for the same cars, people, and animals, I stopped CPAI and let the built in IVS and Onvif handle alerts, and it does a great job, at way less of a lift than cpai. So now with BI v6 offering built in AI, I'm wondering if that will be something useful for my situation or not. I'm ok with the extra setup if it does more than the IVS does (not sure what that would be though!)

I would only ever contemplate using AI if my cams don’t support something like IVS. For me with my Dahua camera IVS just works come rain or shine so I’ll carry on using it.

That was what I was thinking. (and I dd have it enabled yesterday just to see, and it alerted ok during the day...but missed all alerts at night (car driving up driveway). Not sure I had it set up right, but still, as Wittaj said, "If it ain't broke..." So IVS it is.
 
I'm not sure if i am the only one, but i had BI 5.9 running without any issues on a clean windows 11 out of the box install. After updating to 6.0 i had some cameras loose their connection. After installing LAN drivers from Intel the camera's worked fine again. So if you run into something similar, fresh lan drivers might fix the issue.
