Argus 3 pro detection system

[imcneill_467871306096807]

Can someone please clarify how the detection system works in the 3 pro. There are various settings. I note that the PIR spec says it is good for a max of 9 meters and is better picking up transverse movement than movement towards the camera, I understand this.

To be clear, does there need to be detection by the PIR initially for any possible activation of recording/notification, i.e. is it PIR first and then the detection AI kicks in to determine if it is a person/vehicle/other and the rules determin if it should be ignored.. In other words, can recording be triggered by the AI alone, or must the PIR have detected something first ?

Also further to the above, if PIR detected is a pre-requisite for recording to be triggered, if the PIR is turned off in the settings, how does recording get triggered.

The Argus 3 pro will detect any motions using the PIR and then the algorithm will recognize the person/vehicle. If you would like to trigger the detection and recording, you need to activate the PIR. To get more specific detection, you can try to adjust the sensitivity and object size.
