Headlights triggering camera

[bbdude]

I have a Hikvision DS-2CD2383G0 camera looking at my front porch. I live in a culdesac. Although the road is not in the FOV of the camera, at night, sometimes as cars come up and round the culdesac, their headlights sweep across the walls my camera is looking-at. This sometimes triggers the camera / generates an alert / push notification. Otherwise, in general I would say that the trigger sensitivity, as currently set on this particular camera, may be a bit low, since I sometimes have delivery people quickly walk up the walk to the porch (both in the FOV) , and drop-off a package without the desired trigger occurring. So, my question is how can I reject headlights on the wall yet do better with seeing people walk by?

Unfortunately I think adding AI is probably the only reliable way to achieve it. You may be able to set zone crossing or apply separate profiles at night that are effective enough to do it but it would be a lot of trial and error.

There's always the <much less helpful but sarcastically funny> possibility of just building some sort of wall or screen so the lights don't come through - or posting a sign asking people to turn off their headlights.

Another option...

1. Find out the duration of the headlight 'sweep' across the area that's getting the triggers from the headlights.
You can do this by playing back one of the clips, and taking note of the start/end times listed in the timeline time box.

2, Increase the 'Make time' just beyond that time. I doubt it would be more than 1 second. You should till be able to get normal triggers.
