Alarm Check Method real-life diffrence?

Post by SyRenity »

Hi.

After playing with the zones a bit, I wonder if someone ever used other alarm check method then "blobs", and have found it more accurate or faster?

Yes. It uses less CPU but it doesn't give you the nice red outline to troubleshoot false positives.

Thanks for the info.

And what about the accuracy? Is it accurate in the same way as the blobs method?

I have not noticed a difference, but I have not looked that closely.
