AI Features

Here are some of the AI functions (artificial intelligence) that are supported by this IP camera.

Vehicle Detection

AI Camera Vehicle Detection

The vehicle detection function of Viewtron AI cameras is much more reliable than video motion technique used by a non-AI camera. Traditional video motion detection produces a lot of false alerts. A well trained AI camera can detect cars and motorcycles in real time and with 99% accuracy. Object detection events can trigger alarms such as video recording, mobile app push notifications, DVR buzzer, photo snapshots, and email alerts.


Person Detection

AI Security Camera Person Detection

Watch this video to see how the IP-A4BZ camera and Viewtron NVR are used to monitor a garbage dumpster for illegal dumping. An intrusion zone is drawn around the dumpster area. When a human is detected inside the intrusion zone, the NVR records the event, takes a snapshot for the event bookmark, and sends a mobile app push notification.

Mobile App Push Notification

Mobile App Push Notification

Watch this video to see how Mike uses a Viewtron AI camera to monitor the construction of the pool in his back yard. When a person enters the intrusion zone, the camera triggers an alarm on the Viewtron NVR. The NVR sends a push notification to the iPhone app. Viewtron IP cameras and NVRs also support push alerts to the Android mobile app.

Person Detection AI Security Camera

The person detection function of Viewtron AI cameras works the same as vehicle / car detection. An intrusion zone is mapped out on the DVR interface. The only difference is that human detection is selected in the setup, instead of vehicles. The red rectangle is the intrusion zone in in the above screenshot. You can see when Mike crosses over the intrusion zone, he is detected as a human and an alarm event is triggered.


Home Security Camera System

Home Security Camera System with AI Software

Watch this video to see how Mike uses the IP-A4BZ and our Viewtron 8ch IP camera NVR to monitor his driveway and front yard. Learn how to setup scheduled person detection recording so that if someone enters your yard at night, you will know about it.


Face Recognition / Face Detection

Facial Recognition Camera

Watch this video to learn how to setup a face recognition capabilities of this camera on a Viewtron NVR. This video demonstrated face recognition and face detection. We also demonstrate how to add faces to the face database on the NVR using video surveillance footage recorded on the NVR. You can also add faces to the database using the mobile app. You can watch additional face recognition camera videos here. Please also before to check out these installation instructions for face recognition cameras.

AI Security Camera Face Detection

The face detection function of Viewtron AI cameras makes it easy to trigger alarms based on a human face appearing within the view of the camera. The above screenshot was captured using a Viewtron IP-A4D dome AI camera connected to a Viewtron IP camera NVR. When a face is detected, the event is recorded in the NVR's database. Thumbnail images can be displays (like you see above) for easy access to playback the recorded video of the facial detection.

5 of 5 Awesome products and exceptional customer service July 30, 2023
Reviewer: Moe E from San Diego, California  
I ordered AI cameras from them, shipped quickly and items arrived well packaged, installation was a breeze they have tons of HOW-TO videos on YouTube made by the owner himself Mike Haldas to explain most of the complex situations you might come across during installation. One of the junction boxes I received got mixed up when I placed the order, their customer service got that sorted out in no time. Also, they answered all of my technical questions right away via email. I really have a lot of respect for Mike Haldas, his team and his company. I don't think any other company can top what they did.
