AI Parameters

Configure the AI parameters of the Sapphire Series NVR, including smart plan, face detection, face recognition, IVS behavior analytics, video structuring, crowd distribution, people counting, heat map, and ANPR.

Smart Plan

The smart plan is for the smart network camera. It includes IVS, human face detection, human face recognition, human body detection, people counting, heat map. If you do not set a rule here, you cannot use these AI intelligent functions when you are connecting to a smart network camera.

This series NVR products support AI by camera only. Make sure the connected network camera supports intelligent functions. For NVR, it just displays the intelligent alarm information from the smart network camera and set or playback the record file.
