Hi, Argus 3 pro users,

Now we have a new firmware for the Argus 3 Pro (v3.0.0.819). We optimize the AI detection of the camera. If you would like to upgrade the camera, please write down your camera information in this form, https://bit.ly/3ipv6zA. Please copy the device info directly from your APP.

We will push the new firmware to your App within 2 weeks. (Please remember to enable the auto-upgrade in your APP. Device info>>Upgrade device>>Auto-upgrade) If you don't receive the firmware upgrade push in two weeks, you may fill in the wrong info. Please fill out the form again.

Changelog:
1. Add AI-related Functions
Please find the settings in Settings>>Detection alarm. These new AI functions will help you better filter false alerts.

--Detection Zone
You can create a zone that you don’t want to receive the alerts from. The zone can be set for person/vehicle/any motions separately. The area is composed of multiple small grids. You can draw in any area. To avoid false alerts within the motion zone, we recommend that you can draw more space for the motion zone. Just as the picture shows.

-- Object Size
This setting is to filter the detection object by size. To set the maximum size and minimum size of the detection object, it can help filter some alerts like the rain/snow/insects.

--AI Sensitivity
The default sensitivity value (60) is the recommended value. You can also adjust the value according to your environment.

--Static Filtering Strategy
This can help to reduce false alarms caused by static objects like stationary vehicles.

Our algorithm will analyze the motion by frame. But there are tiny changes between consecutive frames in a "seem-to-be-static" video due to sunlight or other reasons. Accordingly, sometimes the box of the car is changing, even though the car doesn't move. Our algorithm can recognize this kind of situation and filter it out.

2. Add Other Functions:
--Pre-alarm Feature
The Argus 3 pro detects the person/vehicle using the PIR＋AI algorithm. After the PIR detects the motion, our camera needs a short time to decide whether there is a person/vehicle or not. So the alarm may delay in this process.

If you enable the pre-alarm, the camera will have a small sound (smaller than the normal alert sound) before the normal alarm, which can also have a deterrent effect.

If the camera finds that the motion is person/vehicle motions, the siren will be set off. If not, the pre-alarm sounds 3s and done. You can choose to enable it or not according to your need.

--Advanced Image Configuration (Available on Client Only)
You can find the settings on Display>>Advanced. These are the parameters that you
can adjust.
-Brightness
-Contrast
-Saturation
-Sharpness
Brightness & Shadows (manual/auto)
-Color Day mode
-Color Night Mode
-Black and White

--Voice in five languages
We change the “ding-ding” sound to the voice prompt for the initial set-up. The new version will include five languages including English, German, Italy, French, and Spain.

Note: These new functions will be available in the latest software.

The form is close. I submit the request about month ago and my device still not have new firmware.
