Activity Detection Alerts

Configure alerts specific events, like a person falling or climbing a wall.

AI-powered Activity Detection alerts you to specific behaviors, such as falling or climbing, instead of every minor movement. This reduces distractions and highlights important events.

  • You need Site Admin permissions for the site a camera is in to configure motion alerts.

  • AI-powered Activity Detection is supported on CD43, CD53, CD63, CP63 cameras, and on the CF83 camera when operating in panoramic mode.
