Amcrest API - human detection?

Post by alabamatoy »

So the Amcrest API SDK document appears to explain how to interact with the human detection features in their AI enabled cameras. I have one of these cameras and hadnt realized that it has these capabilities.

Has anyone tried to leverage these human and traffic detection and analysis capabilities via the API?

Im thinking we could use the human detection capability to act as a trigger within ZM. Has anyone explored this?

I haven't done it, but did play with the standard motion detection and it worked great. If I can't get ONVIF events to work with ZM, I'll go this approach instead.
