Mastering Motion Detection: The Power of Active Motion Detection (AMD)

Motion detection is a valuable security feature, designed to analyze scenes and trigger alerts when movement is detected. However, it can be frequently set off by non-threatening movements, such as wind-blown tree branches or wandering animals, leading to numerous false alarms. Active Motion Detection (AMD) is a sophisticated solution that significantly reduces these false alarms, ensuring that security systems operate with precision and efficiency. Let's delve into the workings of AMD and understand its capabilities.

Leveraging Deep Learning Algorithms

AMD employs a deep learning algorithm that can discern between human and vehicular shapes within a scene with an impressive accuracy rate of up to 99%. There's no need to manually define specific monitoring areas; with a simple activation, an AMD-enabled camera and recorder with the appropriate firmware automatically identify people and vehicles throughout the camera's field of view.

Enhancing Surveillance in Sparsely Staffed Areas

In situations where security personnel are limited, AMD serves as an extra set of eyes, monitoring scenes with minimal activity that might otherwise go unobserved. This includes areas prone to illegal dumping, loading docks, warehouses, employee entrances, no-parking zones, and hazardous locations. It's also ideal for areas that require heightened vigilance at certain times, such as a hotel pool after closing hours. AMD's AI capabilities are continuously enhanced to extend its detection range.

Receiving Alerts That Matter

Upon the detection of a person or vehicle, the AMD system triggers searchable alerts, which can also be pushed to your mobile app as notifications.

Effortless Search and Review

The camera's ability to filter motion-activated objects based on user-defined parameters simplifies the process of sifting through extensive video data. This feature, known as Quick Target Search, allows for efficient review and retrieval of historical data.

Achieving True Peace of Mind

The high accuracy of AMD's motion detection ensures that you're only alerted to genuine threats, avoiding the desensitization caused by frequent false alarms. This way, you won't miss any critical notifications amidst a barrage of irrelevant ones.

AMD: A Comprehensive Overview

Active Motion Detection technology offers a suite of benefits that can substantially streamline monitoring operations. With its AI and advanced deep-learning capabilities, AMD not only recognizes humans and vehicles but also provides accurate alarms and quick target search functions, improving the efficiency of video analysis and allowing users to concentrate on genuine threats.

As the application of AMD in various industries deepens, the demands on AMD technology have become increasingly diverse. To meet the evolving needs of different monitoring scenarios, Hector Weyl has introduced AMD Plus and its latest iteration, AMD 3.0, ensuring that users have the tools to address a wide range of security challenges.
