![]() Recently I started working with a USA based (Broken Arrow, OK) company called Nelly Security. ![]() I also run Hikvision (used/free), which are pretty cheep, but I tend to steer away from. PTZ control from NR/HE done via web request node urls. I run Synology surveillance station and they work with that. They are ok but not the best and not fully ONVIF compliant but close enough to work with other systems.Īgreed I have a couple of them, good price point, decent image/compatibility. You draw a line for a boundary and if a object of a defined size or larger that you specify crosses the line then it triggers the event. Another route that can be used with Analytic capable cameras are “line cross”. Now you “can” get very sophisticated and expensive cameras that do a lot more, but not really necessary for this type of event. If it’s relatively the size of a person then it matches the person detection… same for vehicle. It’s not really a complex or complicated algo as it’s based off of image differences and “size of” the object within the different frames. This is where I recommend a camera with built in Analytics (marketed as AI) for object detection. Most of the motion sensor capabilities in cameras and software are based from image differences and light/shadows trigger the motion. It can and often does create a loop of the lights turning on/off/on/off until day time. Someone walks up to the door to have the light turn on/up. Before picking out a camera I’d pick out the NVR system whether it’s software or hardware based and purchase supported cameras around that system so you can take advantage of all of the features the system offers. I’m sure there are many other favorites.įor cameras I don’t like going cheap because that’s what you get. Nobody likes shadows or outdoor lights at night triggering a motion event which turns on the lights and now you have a loopĪnyways, that’s some info on Software NVR’s. Object detection is great and you’ve used it likely with Wyze for people vs vehicle detection. Examples are line crossing, loitering, object detection which is the best of them. When paired with a supported camera the Analytic events handle the heavy lifting directly on the camera and not the server. One of the best parts of DW Spectrum is a very good integration with built in Analytics from many vendors (big list). The features are very abundant and don’t require any additional licensing. DW Spectrum is resource medium and does not hog up a whole system which is nice. However you can test/play with all of the features. The gotcha is that recording requires a license and the motion detection (software based) is tied to the license. The software itself is free to download and use from the DW website. This is a professional grade NVR software which is also available as an “appliance”. Next up is what I’m currently running at home and what I deploy for customers. The event capabilities and software features (modules) are abundant and it can serve wide ranges of home and commercial uses. ![]() The software is also available for Windows and Linux. The benefit of Xeoma is that it can run on a raspberry Pi if you want with an external HDD of course. Xeoma pricing can get expensive depending on the number of cameras you’re looking at. It has all the features one would expect/want of an NVR plus with the ability to fire events via HTTP or MQTT for integration with other systems.Ī lesser known NVR is from Felena Soft. However unless it’s tuned well it can be a big resource hog. Do you want to run a sever for the camera NVR or do you want it self-contained? A few of the software NVR systems I’ve used and deploy.īlue Iris is a very popular and capable Windows based software NVR.
